SUBJECT: Proposed Council- Initlated Zoning Changes for the 9900 block of
Crowley Road
The October 7 City Council agenda will contain an M &C to initiate the zoning process for the
9900 block of Crowley Road, which lies east of Hemphill Street, south of Risinger Road, and east of
Crowley Road (FM 731). The purpose of the proposed zoning changes is to rezone vacant land to
zoning districts that are consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The site proposed for "CF"
Community Facilities zoning is owned by Crowley ISD and is designed as institutional, since the
school district plans a large school complex. The site proposed for "A -5" One- Family zoning is
owned by a private investor and is designed as private open space, since the land lies completely in a
floodplain. For your reference, the attached PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the current zoning, and the proposed zoning. Councilmember Jordan
mailed letters to the affected property owners regarding the proposed zoning changes in March 2008.
No opposition has been expressed to date.
The public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held on November 12, 2008, at the
Zoning Commission meeting and at the City Council meeting of December 2.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdof� Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817- 392 -8018.
