The Planning and Zoning Commission has one discretionary item
to consider being a remote second point of egress for the
subdivision for emergency access purposes.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the proposed plat with the
associated discretionary item as the proposed remote emergency
access will improve safety conditions in the area, and these lots

along an existing residential street.

REVIEW CRITERIA
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed property is located within an area
that has more than 30 residential lots sharing one point of access. The applicant is proposing to
construct a second point of access, for emergency access purposes only, to improve services
within this area and comply with Subdivision Regulations found in Section 8.2 of the Unified
Development Ordinance. The access will be located at the end of Sandstone Drive and will
connect through the future Emerald Ridge Estates Subdivision. A remote emergency access
requires approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission for the plat to be approved. The
discretionary item is not the same as a waiver in that there are no required findings to be made.
If the discretionary item is approved, the plat may be approved. If the discretionary item is
denied, the plat will not be in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations found in the Unified
Development Ordinance and must be denied.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the proposed plat with the associated discretionary item as the
proposed emergency access will improve safety conditions in the area.
