Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Final Plat -
Replat for Culpepper Plaza Addition consisting of 3 lots on 22.396 acres located at the
Culpepper Plaza shopping center, generally located on the east side of Texas Avenue
between Dominik Drive and Harvey Road.
Applicant: Veronica Morgan, Agent for the Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the final plat.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Final Plat— Replat for the Culpepper
Plaza shopping center. The applicant is replatting this property in preparation for a
redevelopment project that will include revitalizing the existing buildings and will also
include the development of a new structure for a department store.
Culpepper Plaza occupies most of the area bound by Texas Avenue, Harvey Road,
George Bush Drive East, and Dominik Drive. Other uses in this area are general
commercial uses and drainage. Sidewalks have been provided along Texas Avenue by
TxDOT in conjunction with Phase I of the project to widen the street. Sidewalks along
Harvey Road and Dominik Drive do not exist, but will be required for this project. This
property will continue to have access from existing driveways off of Dominik Drive,
George Bush Drive East Texas Avenue, and Harvey Road. According to TXDoT, the
Texas Avenue widening project will not include a median cut for this development.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this area as
Redevelopment and Floodplain and Streams. The Thoroughfare Plan identifies George
Bush Drive East as a minor arterial and Harvey Road and Texas Avenue as major
arterials. Portions of Dominik Drive are also identified as minor arterial, but the segment
that bounds the subject property is not classified. All lots will share access and parking
granted as noted on the plat. This Replat is in compliance with all Subdivision
Regulations.
Item Background: This area was annexed in 1956 and was platted as Culpepper Plaza
in 1969. On April 27, 2006 City Council approved the Redevelopment District Overlay for
this property. Significant development, redevelopment and street improvements are
occurring in the vicinity of the property.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: None requested.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations:
Parks Board: None
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat.
The options regarding the final plat are:
• Approval
• Denial

identified on the FEMA FIRM Panel 144C.
