STOP REVIEW
PLANNING
As the preliminary plat varies considerably from the approved PDD -H rezoning concept
plan, this review has been stopped. There are several issues that need to be
addressed before we can proceed:
1. On the concept plan, common areas are shown at the intersection of Victoria and
Mountain Breeze Way and through a portion of the tract's interior.
2. The concept plan shows eight -foot pathways around and through the tract.
3. The purpose statement of the rezoning ordinance talks about connectivity to the
schools and adjacent neighborhoods. How will this be addressed?

MEMORANDUM
July 7, 2003
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Molly Hitchcock, Staff Planner
Email: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT for WESTFIELD VILLAGE PHASE 6 (PP)
Item: Consideration, discussion and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for
Westfield Village Phase 6 consisting of 30 lots on 7.3 acres generally located at
the southern end of Victoria Avenue across from Edelweiss Gartens Subdivision.
(03 -076)
Applicant: McClure Engineering for BCS Development Co.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the item as submitted.
Item Summary: In accordance with the amended PDD -H zoning approved in
June 2003, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat for Westfield Village
Phase 6 that will allow for the development of 30 single family homes. As part of
the PDD -H, meritorious modifications were allowed for lot widths, building
setbacks, and sidewalks. The flexibility provided by the modifications have
allowed for the preservation of open space, a pedestrian and bicycle path, and
visibility of parkland and greenway. The rezoning was conditioned upon the
developer building the pathway and increased visibility at the greenway's
entrance behind Lot 1. The preliminary plat is in compliance with the modified
standards and conditions approved with the rezoning.
One modification from the concept plan is proposed on the preliminary plat. The
location of the eight -foot pathway by Night Rain Drive has shifted from the
street's edge into the greenway and park property. The Parks Board will discuss
this change at their July 8 meeting and their comments will be available at the
July 17 P &Z meeting.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: The Land Use Plan designates the area as Single Family
Residential Medium Density (3 -6 DU /acre). The preliminary plat is in compliance
with the Land Use Plan with a density of approximately 4 DU /acre.
Thoroughfare Plan: Victoria is a major collector. Mountain Breeze Way is a
minor collector.
Parkland Dedication: Parkland was dedicated with Phase I.
Open Space Dedication: Several park and greenway dedications are shown on
the plat.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: Oversize participation is being requested for
construction of Victoria Avenue and the sewer extension crossing Victoria.
