(a) Public Hearing To consider public comment on a request by Tom Slowbe, representative for the property owner, to change zoning from Agriculture (AG) to Single Family Residential (SF -60) District zoning on property located at East Fork Estates Block A, Lot 5-Rl, 5-R2, and 5- R3, containing approximately 5.0 acres. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:23 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation. Thw property is currently zoned as "AG" (Agricultural). When the property was annexed in 2002 "AG" was the default temporary zoning classification. The three lots that exist in this area exceed 1 acre in side, however, the owners do not want to build 2,400 square foot residential structures. Within the "SF -60" classification the size is reduced to 1,600 square foot. Mr. Schwanke noted that this zoning would be consistent with the housing sizes that prevail in this area. Several property owners at the meeting were opposed to the zoning. The Public Hearing closed at 7:46 p.m. (b) Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding the request to change zoning on property located at East Fork Estates, Block A, Lot 5 -RI, 5-R2, and 5-R3 from Agriculture (AG) to Single Family Residential (SF -60) District zoning. A motion was made by Mr. Skotzke and second by Ms. Setliff to approve zoning request. The vote was unanimous. 6. (a) Public Hearing To consider public comment on a request by Wan Kim, owner of property, to change zoning from Single Family Estates (SFE) to General Commercial (C2) District zoning with a Specific Use Permit to allow for an indoor "Animal Care and Kennel" facility. The property is located at 12604 Sam Rayburn Memorial Highway (State Hwy 121). The Public Hearing was opened at 7:55 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation regarding zoning request. The property is currently zoned as "SF -E" (Single Family Estate). When the property was annexed in 2006 "SF -E" was the default temporary zoning classification. There is an existing masonry structure on the property and an existing parking lot. The Future Land Use Plan shows this area as commercial in nature. Additionally, the property to the west is zoned as "C-2". With the location of this tract near the intersection of two major thoroughfares, Sam Rayburn Memorial Highway and Farm to Market Highway 2862, and the location of other intense uses such as a large and small animal veterinary hospital and a warehouse distribution center "C-2" appears to be compatible. Additionally, an SUP was applied for an indoor Animal Care and Kennel Facility. The Public Hearing closed at 8:00 p.m. (b) Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding the request to change zoning from Single Family Estates (SFE) to General Commercial (C2) District zoning with a Specific Use Permit to allow for an indoor "Animal Care and Kennel' facility located at 12604 Sam Rayburn Memorial Highway (State Hwy 121).
