ACTION REQUEST
Sherman Jones requests to rezone from District “F-1” (Outdoor Industrial) to District “E” (General Business) to open and operate Kingdom Wings, a drive-thru restaurant located at 2828 Texas Avenue, Texas City.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
Applicant, Sherman Jones, is the pastor of the religious assembly called Betmidrash which operates at 2828 Texas Ave on Saturdays only, 11:30 am – 4pm. The location is currently zoned District F – Light Industrial. The applicant seeks to add a drive thru window to expand the food service which is already operating as Kingdom Wings with Heavenly Flavors without a permit from a room converted to a kitchen as an ancillary use of the church.
RECOMMENDATION
Provided the Zoning Commission recognizes the potential of the rezoning to create future conflicts between incompatible uses, Staff have no objection to the requested rezoning to District E – General Business, provided the site is made compliant with the requirements of the Gateway Overlay District, especially the requirement for landscaping, and provided the use is buffered from the adjacent residential use with an appropriate fence or screening wall of 100% masonry content.
