Annexation: 1977
Zoning: A-O to C-1 (1979 and 1982)
Site development: Mostly undeveloped. A new facility for Curry Plumbing has been built on
a new site at another location. The old facility still exists on the subject
property.
COMMENTS
Water: A 12-inch water line exists along Rock Prairie Road. The Plat shows compliance
with the Water Master Plan.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer to serve the site is being proposed from an existing 8-inch main
on the adjacent property. An off-site PUE for this extension will be required. The
sanitary sewer design report submitted with the Final Plat will have to show that
there is additional capacity in the existing lines to serve this development.
Streets: No public streets are proposed with this Plat. Additional ROW width for Rock
Prairie Road is proposed for dedication with the Final Plat, as well as a small
section of thoroughfare which clips the eastern corner of the property as
presented in the approved Master Plan.
Off-site
Easements: Off-site easements may be required for storm water. Stormwater design shall be
in compliance with Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines.

is to the southeast.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: This area
is designated as Retail Regional on the Land Use Plan. The property's zoning of C-1
conforms to this and the proposed plat meets all the minimum requirements for C-1 lots.
The preliminary plat is also in compliance with the Master Plan that was approved by the
Commission on February 7, 2008.
2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed preliminary plat will require a
variance to Section 8-J.2 Blocks. The applicant has submitted a letter to request a variance
to the maximum block length of 800'. The exceeding block length is located along State
Highway 6 and measures approximately 922.61', which would require a variance of 122.61'.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations when considering a variance, the Planning
and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the variance:
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 3 of 4

that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land;
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering
this chapter; and
4. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
