West U City Council will hold a public hearing for the possible rezoning of Shipley’s Donuts, 5800 Kirby, at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
The property owner submitted a rezoning application to the city on Oct. 23, 2009 to amend the zoning ordinance from a planned development district second townhome district (PDD-TH2) to a commercial district.
The building has been zoned as a PDD-TH2 since 1974 and will lose its prior non-conforming status for land use if it is torn down and rebuilt. The property owner has plans to build a Potbelly restaurant at the 5800 Kirby location.
The planning and zoning commission discussed the rezoning request at their meeting on Nov. 12, 2009 and held a joint public hearing with city council on Feb. 8. The city council may vote to have another public hearing after Monday night’s meeting.
Shipley’s Donuts decided not to renew their lease, which will be expiring in 2011. The property owner may demolish the building once the lease is up and rebuild.
The public will be able to address the council during the public hearing.
The public hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the city council chambers.
