MEMORANDUM
May 17, 2012
TO:Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM:Jason Schubert, AICP, Principal Planner
SUBJECT:Block Length and Connectivity
In response to the Commission’s request, anitem regarding block length and connectivity has
been scheduled for discussion. As background, the City Council adopted substantial revisions to
the Subdivision Regulations contained in the Unified Development Ordinance(UDO)in January
2011.The Commission recommended approval of the revisions after two public hearings in
December 2010. Theseactionscame after years of effort that involved numerous stakeholder
meetingsand discussions with the Commission.The revisions helped modernize the
subdivision regulations to standards that are contemporary to the current City and legal
environment and necessary to help implement the Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in
May 2009.
Staff held four workshop discussions with the Commission between July and November 2009
regarding block length and connectivity-related items in which various alternatives were
scrutinized and the proposed language and concepts were presented.The applicable Sections
of the UDO regarding block length and connectivity have been attached for your review and
preparation for the discussion.

REVIEW CRITERIA
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations:
Section 8.2.H.2 Platting and Replatting within
Older Residential Subdivisions of the Unified Development Ordinance states that a plat
involving a building plot created prior to June 1970, which creates an additional lot or building
plot, must meet or exceed the average lot width within the block and each lot must be at least
8,500 square feet in area.
The proposed Final Plat requires a waiver to Section 8.2.H.2 Platting and Replatting within
Older Residential Subdivisions of the Unified Development Ordinance, regarding lot width
requirements for platting in older subdivisions. The average lot width within the subject block is
78.6linear feet. The two lots being created require the following waivers:
Lot NumberProposed Lot Waiver
WidthRequested
Lot 10R70 feet8.6 feet
Lot 11R70 feet8.6 feet
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver, the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
1)That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of
the reasonable use of his land;
Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 3of 4
May 17, 2012
A special circumstance does exist for the property due to the large building plots in the
block that skew the average lot width. For example, two building plots fronting Francis
include commonly owned portions of two or three originally platted lots,with approximately
100feet of frontage. The original platted lotsin this block of the College Hills Subdivision
were all 75 linear feet of frontage.
2)That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
The waiver is necessary for the property to further subdivide. The building plot currently
may only be utilized as one building plot allowing for one structure.
3)That the granting of the waivers will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this
chapter; and
The granting of the requested waivers will not be detrimental to the public health,safety, or
welfare, nor will they be injurious to other properties in the area, or to the City in
administering this chapter.
4)That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter
.
The granting of the requested waivers will not affect the future orderly subdivision of
property in the area. The College Hills Subdivision was originally platted in 1939 and many
of the lots have remained their original size; however, some lots have become commonly
owned, which has increased the average lot width. The subject lots have remained near to
their original size.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommendsapproval of the waiver requestto lot width. If the waiver request is
approved, Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat. If thewaiver request is denied, the
Final Plat must be denied.

3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment:
The subject tract has limited access to Holleman Drive, North Dowling Road, and Harvey
Mitchell Parkway though the site isvisible from the overpass. Commercial activities that do
not require much access,but benefit from visibility,can be supported by the locationof this
tract.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
Due to the abutting M-2 Heavy Industrial zoning district, the uses allowed in an A-O
Agricultural-Open zoning district are not suitable. These uses include, but are not limited to,
single-family lotsof at least 5acres and agricultural activities.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
The uses allowed in an A-O Agricultural-Open zoning district are not highly marketable in
this location due to the conflicting land uses in the vicinity and the overpass of Harvey
Mitchell Parkway.

suitable and adequate for the proposed use:
There are existing 8-inchand 6-inch water
mainsalong the along the south side of Dowling Road and the eastern side of the property,
respectively. There isalso anexisting6-inchsanitary sewer linealong the south side of
Dowling Road and a 6-inch service line extended through an adjacent lot to the northeastern
corner of the subjecttract. Drainage is mainly to the east within the Bee Creek Drainage
Basin. Access to thesite is currently available via an existing drive to Dowling Road which
runs along the eastern side of the property. Drainage and any other infrastructure required
