g. Approve a Resolution to abandon a temporary turnaround easement on
Lakeshore Drive in The Villages of Hurricane Creek Phase 1. (City Engineer
Wes Lawson, P.E.)
In a multi -phase development, it is common for temporary access,
turnaround, and drainage easements to be required in early phases. Once
additional phases are constructed, the extension of infrastructure renders
the temporary easement no longer necessary.
The easement identified in the Resolution was originally granted to the City
of Anna by CDBG Hurricane Creek as a temporary turnaround easement
for Lakeshore Drive in The Villages of Hurricane Creek Phase 1. Since
Phase 1 B has now been constructed, Lakeshore Drive has been extended
and is no longer a dead end street. As such, the turnaround is no longer
needed.
Staff recommended approval of the Resolution as presented.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE EASEMENT ABANDONMENT

EASEMENT FOR LAKESHORE DRIVE IN VILLAGES OF HURRICANE

Moved to items 7.m.-q.
a. Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance to
rezone 1.35± acres located at the northeast corner of east Fourth Street
and north Sherley Avenue. (Planning Manager Lauren Mecke)
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Regional Commercial
(C-2) District and Downtown (DT) District zoning to allow for future
development.
The intent of the Downtown (DT) District is to:
1. Implement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan adopted by City
Council;
2. Facilitate pedestrian -oriented, mixed -use, urban infill development
providing shopping, employment, housing, and business and personal
services;
3. Promote an efficient, compact, and walkable development pattern;
4. Encourage pedestrian activity while reducing reliance on automobiles;
and
5. Allow developers flexibility in land use and site design.
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
North Single-family detached dwellings under construction zoned SF-1
East Single-family detached dwelling zoned SF-1
South Across Fourth Street, Park zoned Planned Development (Ord. No.
1023-2022)
West Across Sherley Avenue, DART railroad & Riggins Avenue, Office and
Telephone Exchange on two lots, zoned Local Commercial (C-1)
Future Land Use Plan
The subject property is located within the Anna 2050 Downtown Master
Plan, situated within the Downtown Core District, and identified as a Retail
Center and Adaptive Reuse / Infill character areas.
• Retail Center areas - Future land use decisions should complement the
Retail Center and reinforce the multimodal atmosphere that accommodates
a wide array of Downtown activity.
• Adaptive Reuse/Infill — The Adaptive Reuse/Infill areas are made up of
smaller lots situated along corridors or in districts that are expected to
increase in activity over time. As these areas become more attractive for
new investment, they can be adapted to establish new uses (i.e. home
conversion to a small business) or be redeveloped with new building types
altogether. While there may be some new development on these sites, they
are not expected to be aggregated with other sites for redevelopment
purposes. Future Land Use decisions should accommodate the existing
neighborhood fabric, while encouraging a transition to a more active
environment and a more diverse building stock.
At the May 6, 2024, Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the
recommendation of the zoning request was for approval by a vote of 6-0.
