Public Hearing and Introductory Ordinance concerning a voluntary annexation application by Radcliffe Killam, II on behalf of Killam Ranch Properties, LTD., altering and extending the boundary limits of the City of Laredo, annexing additional territory of 477.8249 acres, more or less, located north of Union Pacific Boulevard and west of International Boulevard. Providing for the effective date of the ordinance, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract adopting a service plan for the annexed territory, and establishing the initial zoning of M-1 (Light Manufacturing District).
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the annexation and recommended denial of the proposed initial zoning of M-1 for the entire tract, but instead recommended a B-3 zoning designation for an area being a seven hundred fifty (750) foot buffer along the eastern edge of the tract as it abuts the western edge of the United High School Main Campus, United High School 9th Grade Campus, and the proposed Killam-Charco Elementary School, and an R-1 zoning designation for an area being a seven hundred fifty (750) foot buffer along the northern and eastern edge of the tract as it abuts the northern edge of the proposed Killam-Charco Elementary School and the western edge of the International Boulevard Extension.
Staff supports the application and does not support the initial zoning of M-1 for the entire 477.8249 acre tract. Staff supports a B-3 zoning designation for an area being a one thousand (1000) foot buffer along the eastern edge of the tract as it abuts the western edge of the United High School Main Campus, United High School 9th Grade Campus and proposed Killam-Charco Elementary School. Furthermore, staff supports an R-1 zoning designation for an area being a one thousand (1000) foot buffer along the northern and eastern edge of the proposed Killam-Charco Elementary School and the western edge of the International Boulevard Extension.
