PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
On February 7, 2000, City Council approved the conditional use permit for a Police Substation.

BACKGROUND
Initiated By: City of Laredo, Owner; Lauren Bluestone, Applicant/Representative

Council District: I - Cm. Gilberto Gonzalez

Proposed use: The proposed use is an Animal Care Substation (Office).
- The facility will serve as an administrative and operational hub to support animal care services. Its primary function will be office-based. While it will be associated with the City's animal care functions, the site is not intended to serve as a public shelter, adoption center, or boarding facility. Instead, its use is focused on administrative support with limited on-site activity, ensuring compatibility with the surrounding zoning and land uses. (See attached Narrative)

Minimum Zoning District Required for Proposed Use: R-O (Residential Office District) zoning district.

Current Zoning District: The site is currently zoned as a R-1 (Single Family Residential District) zoning district.

Site: The site is occupied by vacant building.

Surrounding land uses: To the north of the site is residential uses. To the east of the site is residential uses, Triumph Public High School - Laredo South, and Lucy Avenue. To the south of the site is Sierra Vista Boulevard, vacant land, residential uses, and Nuestra Se?ora Del Rosario Catholic Church. To the west of the site is Ceniso Loop, Webb County of Sierra Vista, and residential uses.

Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map recognizes this area as Low Density Residential.
