Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for

intersection of State Highway 6 and Southwest Parkway.

Applicant: Joe Schultz, P.E., TEXCON, agent for the owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Preliminary Plat for two new
lots and one existing lot in preparation for commercial development. The
property has frontage on Southwest Parkway and State Highway 6.
The proposed access to the 2 new lots is shown by way of 'Proposed Access
Easement' on the plat. The proposed location of these easements meets the
City's requirements for minimum driveway separation distances. TxDOT has
reviewed the proposed location of the easement that abuts State Highway 6
right -of -way. If the development has high demand or use, an acceleration
/deceleration lane onto the frontage road may be required in the future.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The property is zoned C -1 General
Commercial and A -P Administrative Professional. The Land Use Plan
designates the property as Retail Regional and Office. Southwest Parkway is
considered a minor arterial and State Highway 6 is considered a freeway on the
City's Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The property was annexed in 1971 and zoned R -1 at that
time. The property was rezoned from R -1 and A -P to C -1 in 2001. The rezoning
of the portion of the property that is adjacent to the Windsor Pointe Apartments
required a buffer to be installed at the beginning of the development of the
property. This condition will be addressed at the site plan stage.
Southwest Crossing was platted in 1981. The remainder of the property has
never been platted.
