AGENDA ITEM 4
PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A ZONE CHANGE
FROM B-2, GENERAL BUSINESS, TO B-3, CENTRAL BUSINESS, FOR
LOTS 17, 18, PARCEL ID 22764, AND 17-A, AND PART OF LOT 13, PARCEL
ID 22765, CITY BLOCK 3, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE BLOCK
ALONG EAST HOSPITAL STREET, BETWEEN NORTH CHURCH STREET
AND NORTH MOUND STREET.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Date: September 9 2019
Agenda Item: 3
PRESENTER: Leo Mantey, Planning Director
ITEM/SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider ordinance amending the boundaries of a
zoning district within the City of Nacogdoches from B-2, General Business, to B-3, Central
Business, for Lots 17, 18, Parcel ID 22764, and 17-A, and Part of 13, Parcel ID 22765. City Block 3,
generally located at the block along East Hospital Street, between North Church Street and North
Mound Street. Submitted by the George Barham IV. ZON2019-04.
Background
The request is for a zone change from B-2, General Business, to B-3, Central Business, for Lots 17,
18, Parcel ID 22764, and 17-A, and Part of 13, Parcel ID 22765. City Block 3, generally located at the
block along East Hospital Street, between North Church Street and North Mound Street. The block is
made up of three parcels. Three parcels are being rezoned to B-3. One of the parcels is vacant and serves
as a parking lot. The applicant proposes to redevelop the parking lot into a mixed use development that
will comprise of residences and offices.
Existing Land Use
Two of the lots are currently being utilized for commercial businesses and parking. The third lot which
will be developed for the mixed use project is currently a paved lot that serve as a private parking facility.
The surrounding land uses are as follows:
To the north are residences. To the south are offices and professional services, such as a law office and
insurance agency. To the east are retail, professional services, and a brewery. To the west is the Fredonia
Hotel and Convention Center, which functions with a hotel and restaurant inside. Staff does not believe
that the introduction of a mixed use development will create additional automobile traffic that will
negatively impact the surrounding land uses. It will likely provide a catalyst for further economic
development in the area.
Zoning
The zoning designations for the properties are B-2, General Business. Surrounding zoning includes:
North B-2, General Business
South B-2, General Business and B-3, Central Business
East B-2, General Business
West B-3, Central Business
All of the zoning districts in a 200 foot radius are commercial. The major difference between B-2, General
Business, and B-3, Central Business, is that the former allows for higher-intensity lands uses by-right.
These include general Transportation, Storage, and Auto services. B-3, Central Business, either does not
allow these land uses or restricts them through a Specific Use Permit process. B-3, Central Business, also
allows for mixed uses in development patterns, such as one building having commercial on the first floor
and residential on the second floor. B-2, General Business, restricts and excludes different intensity land

uses from mixing inside the same structure. Future build-out on the vacant parcels will be restricted to
exclusionary land uses unlike the compact and efficient downtown area. Staff does not believe that the
introduction of a mixed use development will likely have an adverse impact on surrounding residential
or retail uses, nor will increased automobile traffic negatively impact the adjacent corridors.
Future Land Use
Per the 2003 Nacogdoches Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use designates the property as Central
City Mixed Use. Surrounding Future Land Use designation as follows:
North Central City Mixed Use
South Central City Mixed Use
East Central City Mixed Use
West Central City Mixed Use
Central City Mixed Use Land Uses, per the Comprehensive Plan, is dictated as,
“Central core of the City, in and around the traditional downtown, where a mix of retail, office,
residential and public uses is permitted and encouraged subject to development and compatibility
standards.”
The current development is in line with the Future Land Use Plan, and this rezoning will facilitate
compatible and proper redevelopment on the subject property that conforms to the Future Land Use
Plan.
Flood Damage Prevention:
Per the FEMA Floodplain Map, there is no portion of the property that falls in the 100 or 500 foot
floodplain area.
Notices:
Staff sent out 23 notices to property owners within the 200 foot notification area. There were zero
(0) responses received in favor of the request, and zero (0) responses received in opposition of the
request.
Staff Findings and Recommendation
Staff will like to outline the following findings:
The current development is allowed by-right in both B-2, General Business, and B-3, Central
Business. However, mixed use development is not allowed in the current zoning district, nor
is transportation, general auto services, and storage services restricted in the current
zoning district.
Rezoning to B-3, Central Business, will restrict future redevelopment, allow less-intense
uses on site, and permit mixed use development that is compatible with surrounding uses.
Staff believes it is unlikely that future development will have neither a negative impact on
surrounding commercial uses nor the residential streets on the perimeter of the area.
Redeveloping the parking lot into a mixed use development will turn a largely inefficient
land use into a high-return parcel that should generate exceptional tax revenue for the City
while also remaining compatible with the surrounding neighborhood character.

Date: September 9 2019
Agenda Item: 3
Based on the above findings, Staff would recommend the Planning and Zoning Commission do
approve the proposed rezoning request from B-2, General Business, to B-3, Central Business.
