Planning & Zoning Commission Page 1 of 5 July 5, 2012 Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2 of 5 July 5, 2012 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: October 1938 Zoning: R-1 Single-Family Residential Final Plat: The subject tract is considered a building plot according to Section 8.2.H.2. Platting and Replatting within Older Residential Subdivisions of the Unified Development Ordinance. The original Final Plat for this property is from 1938. Site Development: Single-family houses currently exist on both properties. COMMENTS Parkland Dedication: Dedication will be assessed on two newly established single- family lots for a total of $4,042. Greenways: No dedication is proposed or required with this plat. Pedestrian Connectivity: No dedication is proposed or required with this plat. Bicycle Connectivity: No dedication is proposed or required with this plat. Impact Fees: N/A 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 with requirements and lot size requirements for platting in older subdivisions. The average lot width within the subject block is almost 97 linear feet. The four lots being created require the following waivers: Lot Number Proposed Lot Width Waiver Requested Lot 27R 50 feet 46.9 feet Lot 28R 50 feet 46.9 feet Lot 29R 50 feet 46.9 feet Lot 30R 50 feet 46.9 feet Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 of 5 July 5, 2012 The four lots being created require the following waivers to the 8,500 square foot lot size: Lot Number Proposed Lot Size Waiver Requested Lot 27R 7,507.18 square feet 992.82 square feet Lot 28R 7,502.79 square feet 997.21 square feet Lot 29R 7,498.40 square feet 1,001.6 square feet Lot 30R 7,494 square feet 1,006 square feet The subject property is within the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan boundary. Over the past year, residents and property owners in the area have worked toward completion of the Neighborhood Plan, including recommendations for land use. In this portion of the neighborhood, the existing Future Land Use and Character designation is Urban and Redevelopment. The draft Neighborhood Plan retains this designation, but more clearly outlines the type and intensity of appropriate redevelopment in this area. TxDOT has planned a grade-separated intersection at the southeast corner of George Bush Drive and Wellborn Road that will change not only the traffic patterns in the area, but also the character of the area. Grove Street will no longer connect to Wellborn Road; it will be a dead-end street. Prior to the grade-separated intersection being complete, the area is not yet appropriate for higher-density urban uses. In the interim, the recommendation of the Neighborhood Plan is that properties in this area be permitted to use standard R-1 Single-Family platting requirements, and not be restricted by Section 8.2.H.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance, which further restricts subdivision in older areas of the City. 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; A special circumstance does exist for the property due to the draft Southside Area Neighborhood Plan. 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 in accordance with the draft Southside Area Neighborhood Plan. The building plots currently may only be utilized as two building plots allowing for two structures. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4 of 5 July 5, 2012 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 West Park Addition was originally platted in 1938 and many of the lots have become commonly owned, which has increased the average lot width. Additionally, the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan has recommended that the properties in this area be permitted to use standard R-1 Single-Family platting requirements, and not be restricted by Section 8.2.H.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the waiver requests to lot width and lot size based on the draft Southside Area Neighborhood Plan recommendations. If the waiver requests are approved, Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat. If the waiver requests are denied, the Final Plat must be denied. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2.
