Page Survey 591,Abstract 1010,and out of the A. M.French Survey 312,Abstract 1018,Nueces County, Texas,located approximately 400 feet south of the intersection of Leopard Street and Rhew Road. Shannon Murphy presented the above case via Power Point, stating the applicant is requesting a change of zoning from a"T-1 B" Manufactured Home Park District to an"I-2" Planning Commission MinutNime June 13,2007 Page 5 Light Industrial District. The subject property is located on the east side of Rhew Road approximately 400 feet south of Leopard Street and is currently vacant. Properties to the south,west and east are also vacant. To the north are single-family and multi-family uses as well as Tuloso- Midway's alternative school. The property currently has preliminary plat approval. Ms.Murphy stated that Rhew Road is a designated collector in the Urban Transportation Plan with a required width of sixty feet(60'). Ms. Murphy stated the "1-2" Light Industrial District is intended primarily for light manufacturing, fabricating, warehousing, and wholesale distributing with off-street loading with access to major street or railroad. The "1-2" District has a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet. There are no side or rear yard setbacks unless there is adjacency to a residential district, which would then require a side and rear yard setback of ten(10)feet. The future land map recommends light industrial uses for the subject property and surrounding area. The proposed use is consistent with the Port/AirportNiolet Area Development Plan. Sixteen notices were mailed to property owners within 200' with one from the Tuloso-Midway Independent School District returned in favor and four in favor from the applicant. Zero were returned in opposition. Staff recommends approval of the"1-2"Light Industrial District. In response to Commissioner Braselton,Miguel Saldana stated that the preliminary plat shows the whole area and that what they are asking to be rezoned is just one area of their original plat.

He expressed concern with sewer and drainage in the area and there is no existing sewer and he asks what the zoning change effect will have on these two items. Mr. Saldana replied that there is a tract and a map in the report that shows unit one as proposed and a lot that will be a detention pond as reviewed by our engineer. There will be a pipe installed to drain that pond out to Leopard Street. As for waste water, it will be provided along Rhew Road and will be extended and connected to existing sanitary system on Main Street which is to the west of Rhew Road. There are still issued to be addressed before it becomes reality. In response to Mr. Worthley, Mr. Saldana stated the wastewater provision along Rhew Road will not affect Mr. Worthley or his property.
