Project Number: 07-00500260
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Final Plat of the North
Forest Subdivision, Block 1, Lots 1A through 1 E-R & Common Areas, being a Replat of Block
1A through 1E & Common Area consisting of 5 lots on 5.16 acres located at 2801 Earl Rudder
Freeway South at North Forest Drive.
Applicant: Joe Schultz, Civil Development, Ltd.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the final plat.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a revised Replat of the North Forest
Subdivision. A Replat was approved by the Commission in September 2006 and development
of an office complex began shortly afterward. Since that time, the developer has proposed to
add a second common area of 1.086 acres for internal driveways at the rear of the property,
which would reduce the area of Lot 1 E from 2.459 acres to 1.372 acres. This property has also
received site plan approval for an office complex and will be unaffected by the proposed
changes.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as
Single Family Medium Density; however, it is zoned A-P Administrative Professional. The
property takes access from the State Highway 6 frontage road and from North Forest Parkway.
State Highway 6 is shown as a Freeway and North Forest Parkway is shown as a Major
Collector on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. This Replat is in compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision Regulations, Unified Development Ordinance and approved
Preliminary Plat.
Item Background: A portion of the subject property was annexed into the City limits in 1971
and the remaining portion was annexed in 1977. The property received rezoning approval from
A-O Agricultural-Open and R-1 Single Family Residential to A-P Administrative Professional in
2003. A Preliminary Plat and Replat have been approved by the Planning & Zoning
Commission in May and September 2006 respectively. The subject property has also received
site plan approval for the North Forest Professional Park, which is currently under construction.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Final Plat. The
options regarding the Final Plat are:
■ Approval
■ Denial
