MEMORANDUM
June 9, 2004
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Spencer Thompson
Email: sthompson@cstx.gov
SUBJECT: A Replat of Southwest Crossing 3 Block 7, Lot 1R and
A Final Plat of Liberty Subdivision Block 1, Lots 1 and 2
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Replat of Southwest
Crossing 3, Block 7, Lot 1R, and a Final Plat for Liberty Subdivision, Block 1,
Lots 1 and 2 consisting of 12.26 acres, located at the southwest corner of the
intersection of State Highway 6 and Southwest Parkway.
Applicant: Joe Schultz, P.E., TEXCON, agent for the owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Plat as submitted.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Replat of one existing lot and
Final Plat for two new lots in preparation for commercial development. The
property has frontage on Southwest Parkway and State Highway 6. This Plat is
in compliance with the approved Preliminary Plat and all lots meet minimum
requirements.
The access to Lots 1 and 2 is shown by way of a private access easement on
the plat. The proposed location of this easement 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
classified a minor arterial and State Highway 6 is classified 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
A
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.
