DATE: December 19, 2016 Due to the recent Zika outbreak the Health Department has been spraying and larviciding by using chemicals a lot more than the ordinary.

In an effort to project cost accordingly and to be prepared should another emergency arise, I am requesting the amount of $105, to be approved to purchase chemicals until the end of this fiscal year.

124 Staff Report A. Application Information Applicant/Property Owner: Luis Roberto Galindo Property ID: Case Number: Application Type: Rezoning Proposed Use: Duplex Current Zoning District: Dwelling A Proposed Zoning District: Dwelling G Date Application Submitted: October 18, 2016 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Date: December 8, 2016 City Commission Meeting Dates: December 13, 2016 & TBD City Commission District: 1 Overlay in area: N/A B. Application Type/Background The applicant is requesting to rezone from Dwelling A to Dwelling G. C. Subject Property The subject property is located on Lot 1, Block 16 of Colonia Acacia Subdivision. This property is fronting East Avenue, a collector roadway. Single family homes are the predominant existing land uses within the subject property s immediate area. There are no major transportation improvements planned or programmed in the immediate area. The area is served with water and wastewater by the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB). Existing land uses abutting the subject property are identified below and illustrated in Figure 2. North of the subject property are single family homes. East of the subject property are single family homes. South of the subject property are single family homes. West of the subject property are single family homes.

125 Figure 1: Existing Zoning Map The following map illustrates existing zoning of the subject property and properties within the immediate area. The properties to the north, south, east, and west are zoned Dwelling.

126 Figure 2: Existing Land Use Map The following map illustrates existing land uses surrounding the subject property. The existing land uses to the north, south, east, and west of the subject property are single family homes. Dwelling: Single family homes Dwelling: Single family homes Subject property Dwelling: Single family homes Dwelling: Single family homes

127 D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the Core East District. According to this plan, the east core district has the most commercial and industrial land uses of the Core Districts, but the total of these two uses is still only 30 percent. This signifies that the District is still primarily residential, with a large amount of community facilities as well. The residential uses should have an average density of 3 dwelling units per acre and consist of single family homes. It is the opinion of staff that the request is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan. Figure 3: Future Land Use Map (Core East District) The following map illustrates the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is within the Core East District.

128 E. Review Criteria D. Comprehensive Plan Consistency Is the proposed amendment consistent with all applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan? It is the opinion of staff that the request is not consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan. Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is developed primarily of single family homes. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally not be compatible. Will the proposed amendment result in significant or burdensome demands on existing public facilities? It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use may create significant or burdensome demands on public facilities such as water, wastewater, transportation, and schools. Will the proposed amendment result in logical, timely and orderly development patterns that preserve the value of existing development? It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally not complement existing development and it may have adverse impacts on area property values. F. Staff Recommendation Based upon the analysis presented in this report and based on observations from the Planning Department staff, staff recommends not to support the request to rezone from Dwelling A to Dwelling G.
