Case R 22-04— 4413, 4415 & 4419 Sisk Road: Public hearing to consider taking action on a proposed rezone at 4413, 4415, & 4419 Sisk Road (G. Tompkins Addition, Lots 1, 2, & 3) from Light Industrial (LI) to Single Family 2 (SF-2) zoning to realign and correct three split zoned residential lots. Applicant: George Tompkins Owner: George Tompkins Vice-Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:02 pm concerning case R 22-04. Mr. Cedric Hu presented the case and stated the petition before the Commission was to rezone 4.11 acres of land at 4413, 4415 & 4419 Sisk Road from Light Industrial (LI) to Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning district. Mr. Hu advised the Commission the subject property had recently been replatted into three individual lots which was approved by the Commission on the August consent agenda. Mr. Hu advised the existing residence located on 4415 Sisk Road was already zoned Single Family-2, however, the remaining property behind the rear of the Planning and Zoning 3 September 14, 2022 Mr. Hu advised all three properties are adjacent and located in the southwest part of Wichita Falls east of the Kell Boulevard and Southwest Parkway intersection. The subject property is a residential property with other residential properties in the area. To the north is primarily vacant land with the exception of one residence north of 4413 Sisk Road. To the east is more vacant land and to the south and west residential uses. Rezoning the 4.11 acres will help to keep the zoning character in line with the applicant's properties and surrounding residential properties. Photos displayed show the subject properties have Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning to the west of the properties and Light Industrial (LI) to the east. When the City of Wichita Falls adopted the zoning ordinance in 1985, it was anticipated this area would be commercial development with intensive uses and was therefore zoned Light Industrial (LI) with a low density land use. In the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district, new residential structures are not allowed. Mr. Hu pointed out 4413 Sisk Road was a flag pole shaped lot to meet the minimum frontage development requirement of 50ft. Mr. Tompkins petition for rezoning to Single Family-2 (SF-2) would allow for residential development on his 3 lots, leaving the land use as low density. Mr. Hu advised 14 property owners within 200ft. of the subject property had been notified with no responses received. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request of +1- 4.11 acres of land at 4413, 4415 & 4419 Sisk Road (G. Tompkins Addition, Lots 1, 2, and 3) to Single Family-2 (SF-2) Residential. Vice Chairman Woodward asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to comment. Mr. Tompkins, the owner and applicant, residing at 4413 Sisk Road advised he had nothing to add to the presentation, but was available for any questions the Commission might have. With no other comments, Mr. Woodward closed the public hearing at 2:11 pm and asked for a motion to open the item for discussion. Mr. Blake Haney made the motion with Ms. Cayce Wendeborn seconding. Mr. Doug McCulloch asked if there was just one metal home to be constructed on 4413 Sisk Road, to which Mr. Tompkins advised that was correct. Mr. McCulloch asked how he would access the property and Mr. Tompkins advised by private drive. Mr. Fabian Medellin clarified to the Commission the flag shaped lot would provide entrance to the property. There was no further discussion among the Commission. Vice-Chairman Woodward called for a vote from the Commission. The vote was 8-0 in favor of the rezoning recommendation. IX. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Medellin provided and update to the Commission on the City Council approval of the Downtown Zoning Realignment project that would be effective September 16th, 2022. X. ADJOURN Vice-Chairman Woodward adjourned the meeting at 2:15 pm. Planning and Zoning 4 September 14, 2022 David Cook, Chairm Date �° f2 / Terry Fl , Director of Development Services Da e
