Executive Summary |
||||
|
This is a request to permanently zone a portion of Telfair Tract 5, consisting of 124.206 acres, from Interim Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Permanent Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1). The property is generally located south of US 59 and west of Ditch H. 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 - Proposed Amendment No. 4 which the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to Council at their October 13, 2009 meeting. The General Plan shows this area appropriate for either R-1Z or R-1 zoning. This request is not in conflict with the City of Sugar Land Comprehensive Plan. This permanent zoning 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 and bring the total R-1 acreage (developed for residential use) to approximately 813 in Telfair. Additional information is attached. File No. 11636 CC: Jason M.

On November 16, 2004, City
Council adopted the revised Land Use Plan portion of the City’s Comprehensive
Plan under Ordinance No. 1468. The Land
Use Plan serves as a guide for recommendations of permanent zoning for annexed
properties and rezoning of existing properties within the City. The 124.206 acres of this portion of Telfair
Tract 5 were intended for single-family residential development when the
developer petitioned the City for annexation.
This proposed land use is in accordance with the City’s Land Use Plan,
and the Telfair General Plan Proposed Amendment No. 4 (currently in process).
PUBLIC HEARING:
Notice of the Public Hearing
was published in a newspaper of general circulation as required by state
law. All property owners within 200 feet
of the proposed site were notified.
Notice of the Public Hearing was posted on the City of Sugar Land’s
Internet home page. At the time of
writing this report we have received two requests for information on the
proposed permanent zoning. The request
was informational in nature only.

Request for Standard Single-Family Residential for Telfair Tract 5:
