AGENDA SUBJECT: (a) Public Hearing
To consider public comment regarding an ordinance amending the City’s comprehensive plan,

zoning is Restricted Commercial (C1) zoning. The City of Anna has initiated a zoning change

west of South Powell Pkwy. and generally known as 402 W. White Street and 516 South
Powell Pkwy. (Maurice Schwanke)
In 2009 this property was rezoning from “C-2” and “LI” to “C-1”. The owners took exception
to this change and desired more clarification of allowed uses and wanted some additional uses
to be allowed. As such, after negotiation, both the owners of the property and Staff are
proposing the attached “PD” Ordinance. This zoning request initiated by the City allows for
the additional uses and clarifications. Some of these uses will be allowed by right while several
are allowed as conditional uses requiring Special Use permit approval. The Staff is
recommending approval of this request as shown.
