a) Public Hearing
b) Take Action
Vice -Chairperson David Cook opened the public hearing at 2:03pm and asked staff
to present the case. Mr. Fabian Medellin stated planning staff had met with the staff
of Texoma Christian Care center and their design team, RDG Planning & Design.
They are proposing to demolish several of their southern buildings and construct
two new facilities, a short term rehabilitation center and a three-story assisted living
facility.
The subject property is located in the northwest area of Wichita Falls at the
intersection of Loop 11 and FM 367. The existing zoning for primarily the entire part
Planning and Zoning 3 June 10, 2020
of Loop 11 consist of Limited Commercial (LC), General Commercial (GC) and
Light Industrial (LI). Mr. Medellin stated the proposal was to extend the General
Commercial (GC) from the south to encompass the subject lots as well as amend
the land use plan to follow suite with the Loop 11 designation of commercial. The
current use of residential care facility is allowed in Multi -Family Residential (MFR)
zoning district, however, the scale to which Texoma is proposing to build exceeds
the limitations of that zoning district. The proposal for the assisted living facility is
three stories with an overall height of 50 feet.
Mr. Medellin advised staff mailed out 22 notices to the surrounding property
owners within 200 feet. Responses received back consisted of 7 in favor, 1 in
opposition and 0 with no opinion/undecided. Taking into consideration of the
current use and the proposed use and adjacent designations of General
Commercial (GC) as well as the Land Use Plan of Commercial staff does
recommend the approval of the proposed rezoning from Multi Family
Residential (MFR) to General Commercial (GC) and amending the Land Use
Plan from High Density Residential and Institutional to Commercial.
Mr. Cook asked if the applicant was present and wished to make a presentation.
Shelly Wood, Civil Eng. with CPB introduced herself and stated she was there to
answer any questions on behalf of April Reindhart. Mr. Cook asked if there were
any other public comments. With no response, Mr. Cook closed the public
discussion at 2:08 pm and called for a motion. Ms. Cayce Wendeborn made a
motion to recommend rezone to City Council, Mr. Jack Browne seconded. Motion
passed unanimously with a vote of 8-0.
2. Case R 20-04 — 4400 Kemp Boulevard:
Public hearing and consideration of a request to rezone +1- 1.16 acres of land
located at 4400 Kemp Boulevard (Faith Village Subdivision, Section 3, Lot 1-
A, Block 74) and abutting right-of-way from Limited Commercial (LC) to
General Commercial (GC) to allow for the expansion of land uses and
construction of a shopping center with drive through services; and amending
the Land Use Plan from Light Commercial to Commercial.
Applicant: Theodore Pantos, TGP Investments Co.
a) Public Hearing
b) Take Action
Vice -Chairperson David Cook opened the public hearing at 2:09pm and asked staff
to present the case. Mr. Fabian Medellin stated Mr. Pantos after hearing the news
that his property at 4400 Kemp Boulevard, formerly Pier1 Imports was closing he
sought to fill the vacancy. The existing structure is 9,000 square feet and after
consulting with a realtor found it difficult for a single occupant to sign a lease. Mr.
Pantos met with staff and proposed to divide the structure into a multi -tenant
shopping center with one of spaces having the ability to have a drive thru service.
Currently the subject property is zoned as Limited Commercial (LC) which prohibits
both of those uses.
The subject property is located on Kemp Boulevard in the retail commercial corridor
of Kemp Boulevard located between Midwestern and Southwest Parkway. Located
west of Target and the mall, the property is surrounded by right-of-way. The zoning
designation for Kemp Boulevard is primarily General Commercial (GC), there is a
Planning and Zoning 4 June 10, 2020
pocket of Limited Commercial (LC) where the subject property lies. This proposal
requests that the designation of General Commercial (GC) to the east be extended
to the west to encompass the subject property as well as amend the land use plan
to Commercial.
Mr. Medellin stated planning staff notified 26 property owners within the 200 foot
notification area. Staff received 1 response in favor, 2 responses in opposition and
1 response with no opinion/undecided. Staff recommended approval of the
proposed rezone and amended land use request at 4400 Kemp Boulevard,
Mr. Cook asked if the applicant was present and wished to make a presentation.
The applicant was not present. Mr. Cook asked if there were any other public
comments. With no response, Mr. Cook closed the public discussion at 2.13 pm.
Mr. Noros Martin asked where the proposed drive-in would be located at. Mr.
Medellin stated it would be for a bakery with the drive-thru located on the west side
of the building. With no further comments Mr. Cook called for a motion. Ms. Cayce
Wendeborn made a motion to recommend rezone to City Council, Mr. Jack Browne
seconded. Motion passed unanimously with a vote of 8-0.
