5. (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).
A motion was made by Mr. Williams and second by Ms. Pitcox to approve the zoning
and SUP request. The vote was unanimous.
7. (a) Public Hearing: To consider public comments regarding an ordinance of the city of

The Public Hearing opened at 8:01 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a brief presentation. He
noted that this ordinance is an attempt to improve the aesthetic of residential
neighborhoods. The item was on the agenda at last month's Planning and Zoning
Meeting for discussion. Since then we sent out a request to all of the current builders in
Anna to meet with the Staff. One builder came to the meeting and made his input and
another came by to say that he agreed with the Ordinance. These changes as well as
some other minor changes and the additions the Commission wanted have been added.
The Public Hearing closed at 8:21 p.m.

Texas, amending the Anna City Code of Ordinances by amending Part III — C, Section 35
