Other Information• Out of all variance requests, the most routine by far is
a request from this requirement;
• Generally, these are for individuals wanting barns or other types of accessory buildings in rural, low-density areas;
• Exception already exists for bona fide farm and agricultural buildings;

Process Change Proposed• City staff recommends change to allow Planning
Manager 10% for administrative approvals;
• This would require anything requested over the minimum 10% to be heard by the board;
• Standards to be met & decision be made by a group rather than an individual;
• Staff has worked up a draft ordinance based on this preference with help of legal staff.

Key Ideas in Commission Discussion• Limitation of commercial and interest in transitional – to
allow higher density residential & appropriate commercial types;
• Zoning in this area is varied: CH, CG, CG/CH, OW, ML, MHS, and RS-1;
• The growth of the nearby PaulAnn area, pulling residential growth towards the northeastern part of the city;

Key Ideas in Commission Discussion• The advantage and exposure of Houston Harte
Expressway;
• The access to the Expressway being indirect, rather than direct, thus suitable for types of commercial not dependent on visibility;
• The importance of keeping the Vision Plan map in line with the changes in the city, in order to help promote growth and development;
![Page 10: City Council July 19, 2011 Planning Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e27b8b4c90571798b5178/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Key Ideas in Commission Discussion• Respecting and offering protection to residential
enclaves, some of which predate the Expressway;
• Recognition that all types of commercial are not equal and not all would be appropriate;
• Recognition that zoning changes or alterations should wait until the map itself can be finalized to guide these changes;
