S. Highway 183 and Missouri-Pacific Railroad intersection 22-57 The Director of Planning presented a letter from Yr. George G. McDonald, requesting a change in the Austin Development Plan from Suburban Residential to Manufacturing and Related Uses Eer approximately 161 acres of land. Approximately 17 acres of this area is already designated for Manufacturing and Related Uses. In addition, the staff included approximately 25 acres, adjacent to the subject property, for consideration. The property under consideration is essentially bounded on the east by proposed Mo-Pac Boulevard, on the southwest by U. S. Highway 183, and on the north by proposed West Loop. The staff had originally intended to include the property between U. S. Highway 183 and Old U. S. Highway 183 as there are a few industrial uses through this area; however, it is not included at the present time as there are difficulties involved in this strip of land because of the size of the parcels, the topography situation, and access in relation to new U. S. Highway 183 which need to be resolved. Consideration should be given to see if some intermediate level of industry would be more applicable to this property as it is adjacent to a residential area. Property between the railroad track and the proposed Mo-Pac Boulevard is presently designated for industrial purposes in the plan and several industries are developed on property to the east. The University of Texas owns property north of the area owned by Mr. McDonald. There is an industrial strip of land located between Balcones Research Center and the Mo-Pac railroad. A request for a change to industrial has been made on a strip of land located south of U. S. Highway 183. The staff recommends in favor of this request as the subject property is bounded almost entirely by major highways, with the exception of the north area which is adjacent to a designated industrial area. Mr. George McDonald appeared at the hearing and stated that the subject property is being purchased by one of the manufacturers that is already estab- lished in this area. The development would be a comparable type of manufacturing that is existing. The Commission reviewed the information presented and concluded that this request should be approved as it is an extension of an existing industrial area and because the property is almost completely surrounded by major highways. VOTED: It was then unanimously To recommend that the land use designation for approximately 169 acres of land located northwest of U. S. Highway 183 and MissouriPacific Railroad intersection, be changed from Suburban Residential to Manufacturing and Related Uses.
