BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner: Guinn III Properties, LLC
• Property Owner: Guinn III Properties, LLC
• Agent: Joseph C. London, P.E., Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
• The property was annexed into the City in 1975.
• Citywide comprehensive plan amendment, adopted on January 22, 2013 (Ordinance 013-13), changed the future land use designation of the subject property from Retail Services to Low Intensity to the south and Neighborhood to the north.
• The property is zoned B-4, General Business.
• Per Section 122-244 of the Code of Ordinances, B-4 is consistent with Low Intensity Future Land Use but not with Neighborhood Future Land Use.
• Ordinance 2013-13, a city-initiated amendment, created an inconsistency between the future land use and zoning for a portion of the subject property.
• To correct the inconsistency between the future land use and zoning designation, staff is recommending approval of the proposed future land use amendment.
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval in a 5-0 vote at their meeting August
14, 2023.

The requested Future Land Use Category of Low Intensity is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval
