Background• Residential neighborhood straddles both sides of S
Bryant from W Avenue R to San Jacinto Street.
• South Bryant Blvd was improved as four-lane, divided arterial street in 1960’s.
• In 2007, this lot was changed from RS-1 to CN zoning. • 2009 Comp Plan calls for “neighborhood center” on
this segment of South Bryant Blvd.
Analysis• CN zoning classification is intended for relative close
compatibility with nearby residences.
• It does not allow any construction-related contractors.
• OW zoning is most restrictive of all commercial zoning that allows construction-related contractors.
• All material or equipment (except vehicles) must be kept indoors or behind a solid privacy fence.
• With these restrictions, OW District may be equally as compatible with nearby residences as CN District.
Recommendation• City staff recommends approving this request.
• West Ave U functions only as a local street, so this site is not at intersection of two major streets.
• In circumstances such as these, any commercial use should be limited to those not generating a lot of customer traffic.
• Uses allowed in OW zoning typically do not generate lots of customer traffic.
