Recommended Action

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of permanent R-1 zoning for Telfair Section Fifteen.

Executive Summary

This is a request to permanently zone Telfair Section 15, consisting of 40.79 acres, from interim Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1) to permanent Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1).  The property is located in Tract 4 of the Telfair development north of Telfair Section Nine.  The Telfair property was annexed by the City under Ordinance No. 1431 on April 6, 2004 and was officially incorporated into the City on July 1, 2004.  At that time Interim R-1 zoning was applied to the property.  This request is in conformance with the Telfair General Plan (Amendment No. 3), approved by Council on December 19, 2006 and is not in conflict with the City of Sugar Land Comprehensive Plan

 

This rezoning request, if approved by City Council, would require this property to comply with all R-1 (Standard Single-Family Residential) regulations as contained in Chapter 2 of the City of Sugar Land Development Code.  This permanent zoning addition for Telfair Section 15 will bring the total R-1 acreage in Telfair to 536.2 acres.

 

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on this item at the September 27, 2007 meeting and took action on the request at the October 9, 2007 meeting.  No one spoke at the hearing, and the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the permanent R-1 zoning request to Council.  This item requires a Public Hearing at Council prior to any action.
