ZONING: PDD, Planned Development District APPLICANT: Heath Phillips, Owner PROJECT MANAGER: Matt Robinson, AICP, Senior Planner mrobinson@cstx.gov RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: 2002 Zoning: A-O Agricultural Open upon annexation A-O Agricultural Open to PDD Planned Development District (2011) Site development: The property is vacant. COMMENTS Water: The subject tract is located in Wellborn Water's service area. Future development of the tract will have to meet the City's minimum fire flow requirements. Sewer: The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch sanitary sewer main which runs along the south and east property boundaries. The tract is located in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line. This respective trunk line's sub -basin currently serves many developments along FM2818, from areas east of Wellborn Road, to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Much of the existing trunk line was constructed in 1973 and was shown to have several surcharging line segments in the 2011 HDR Sanitary Sewer Collection System Master Plan Update. The City is currently in the process of initializing a capital improvement project entitled the 'Bee Creek Relief Line' that will install a larger diameter gravity line to increase the system capacity of the overall sub -basin in order to accept the ultimate build -out demand anticipated in this respective area. This trunk line capacity increase is necessary to proactively prevent surcharge events, possible fines from TCEQ, and customer service disruptions. Preliminary analysis of this area has identified that the existing sanitary sewer capacity can support the increased sanitary sewer demand from the proposed development; however, future demands in this respective sub -basin will need to be evaluated as development occurs. Off -site Easements: None known at this time. Drainage: The subject tract is in the Bee Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin. Future development of the tract will have to meet the requirements of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The three detention facilities illustrated on the preliminary plat are to serve the entire subdivision and are proposed to be constructed with the initial phase of construction. Flood Plain: The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C. Greenways: None. Pedestrian Connectivity: Sidewalks will be provided on both sides of all streets. Bicycle Connectivity: Bike lanes will be provided along Deacon Drive (Major Collector), General Parkway (Minor Collector) and Towers Parkway (Minor Collector). Streets: The subject tract is located adjacent to Old Wellborn Road (local) to the east and Holleman Drive South (4 Lane Major Collector — Suburban Context) to the west. Three future thoroughfares bi- sect the property: Deacon Drive (2-Lane Minor Collector — Urban Context), General Parkway (2-Lane Minor Collector — Suburban/Urban Context) & a future un-named 2-Lane Minor Collector — Suburban/Urban Context adjacent to the school district owned property. The preliminary plan illustrates Deacon Drive to be built as a major collector, which was a result of the developer's TIA and discussions during the PDD rezoning process. Oversize Request: The applicant has shown interest in oversized participation in order to provide adjacent tracts with adequate post development sanitary sewer capacity; however, no formal request has been made at this time. Parkland Dedication Fees: Neighborhood parkland dedication of 3.83 acres, out of the 4.16 acres required is being provided. Neighborhood park development fees and community park land and development fees totaling $1,707 per lot, for 425 lots, will be due upon filing of the final plat. Additionally, a parkland neighborhood land dedication fee of $10,761 will be required for the remaining 0.336 acres of land that is not being dedicated. Impact Fees: The subject tract is located within the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area and will be required $357.74/LUE upon construction. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as General Suburban and is located in Growth Area 5. For Growth Area 5, it states that the area between Cain Road and Rock Prairie Road should be used for General Suburban activities, including high -density single- family lots (minimum 5,000 square feet), townhomes, duplexes, as well as suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses. As part of the approved Planned Development District (PDD), the proposed preliminary plan includes single-family detached residences, townhomes, and office and commercial uses that are in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance and the approved PDD Concept Plan. 2. Compliance with Subdivision Requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance: The proposed preliminary plan is in compliance with the subdivision requirements of the UDO and the approved PDD Concept Plan. Modifications approved with the concept plan include block lengths longer than 900 feet, reduced residential setbacks, a remote emergency access to count as the second external street connection up to 100 lots, and dead-end streets being permitted up to 100 feet in length. ru STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan.
