Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding Minor General Plan Amendment Case No. 2018-0183 and Rezoning Case No. 2018-0127 for Bienestar Estates 10 project to be located on the southeast corner of County 24th Street and Avenue F. (Jose A. Guzman, Director of Planning and Zoning)
SUMMARY:
This item is a request by Vianey R. Vega P.E. of Vega & Vega Engineering, PLC, applicant, on behalf of Border Ranches, owner, to change the zoning of approximately 160 acres. The subject property is located on the east mesa of the City of San Luis on the southeast corner of Avenue F and County 24th Street. Santa Cecilia No. 1 and Santa Cecilia No. 2, single-family residential subdivisions under construction, are located north of the proposed rezoning. To the west and south is undeveloped land zoned as Rural Area Residential (RA-10). Adjacent to the east is vacant land zoned as Light Industrial (L-1).
The current zoning of the property is divided in two, 80-acre areas and are zoned Medium-High Density (R-2) and the south 80 acres are zoned Rural Area Residential (RA-10). The proposed zoning change is as follows: 4.54 acres from Medium-High Density Residential (R-2) to Community Commercial (C-2), 75.46 acres from Medium-High Density Residential (R-2) to Medium Density Residential (R1-6) and 80 acres from Rural Area Residential (RA-10) to Medium Density Residential (R1-6).
The purpose of the zone change is to allow a future residential subdivision to be called Bienestar Estates 10. The project is planned to be developed in different phases. The first phase is planned to be around 36 acres and the rest to be developed in the future. The 4.54 acres located at the southeast intersection of Avenue F and County 24th Street will be used for commercial purposes. This location is convenient for adjacent residents as it will be within walking distance for routine local needs such as personal services or limited retail.
The current General Plan for this parcel is Neighborhood designation which is appropriate for the R1-6 but not for the C-2 area. The intent of Neighborhood land designation is to focus on the primary areas (Residential Zoning District) in the community. The Activity Center designation is intended for commercial services that conveniently serve the nearby residential areas.
A Minor Amendment is required for the proposed C-2 area before the rezoning takes effect. A Minor Amendment is being processed to make the Land Use Designation compatible with the proposed commercial zoning change. The Minor Amendment (Case No. 2018-0183) for this rezoning will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission in a May 2018 meeting and will be presented to Council at the same time of the rezoning.
