SUBJECT: FINAL PLAT - GATEWAY PH 1 -3 (FP)
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Replat for Gateway Phase
1 R and a Final Plat for the Gateway Phase 3 Lot 1 R consisting of 4 lots on 22.7 acres
generally located at University Drive East at Forest Drive. (04- 00500155)
Applicant: Veronica Morgan, Agent for Owners
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as submitted.
Item Summary: This item is a public hearing due to the replat aspect of the case
regarding Lot 1 R. Lot 1 R is being further divided into Lot 1AR, Lot 8 and Lot 12. Lot 8
is currently Gateway Station containing Chicos, Talbots, JoS A Bank, and Kirklands.
The other lots are undeveloped at this time. These properties take access from
University Drive at the signalized intersection across from Forest Drive, the right -in/
right -out next to Wing And More and through the greater shopping center area. Phase
3 and future Phase 4 include an access from University to the oil well site to the rear,
actually located in Bryan adjacent to the WWTP. Phase 2, 3 and 4 also include Zone
AE floodplain and floodway, as shown on the plat.
Lots in Phase 1 and Phase 3 are zoned C -1 with an Overlay. There were several
requirements placed on the Gateway during the rezoning. One was that Phase 3 is
required to provide access to the adjacent lot to the west, University Park II Block Y. A
note to this effect is included on the plat. The exact layout and location of the cross
access easement can be addressed at the Site Plan. This cross access requirement is
in compliance with the UDO.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: Much of the area is shown as greenway. Outside the greenway is
shown as Regional Retail.
Thoroughfare Plan: University is a major arterial.
Parkland Dedication: Not applicable to commercial properties.
Open Space Dedication: None
Special Area Plans: This area was included in the University Dr corridor study.
