PDD CONCEPT PLAN
STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Date: October 18, 2004
E-mail: mhitchcock@cstx.gov
For
SPRING CREEK CS DEVELOPMENT (CPDD) (04-114)
A Concept Plan shall be required prior to any development of property zoned Planned
Development District (PDD) or Planned Mixed-Use District (P-MUD).
Zoning District: PDD, Planned Development District
Approved Land Uses: Single Family Residential, open space, and land buffers
Location: 4300 SH 6 South, approximately Y2 mile north of Greens Prairie Road, west of SH 6
Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Spring Creek CS Development, CS
Item Summary: The Concept Plan for the Spring Creek Gardens PDD was adopted in June
• of this year. One of the modifications agreed upon was to lot width. Instead of the typical 50-ft. lot
width, homes in Spring Creek Gardens will be a minimum of 45 feet. The UDO requires a 50-ft.
width for a home to receive individual trash containers and service. With 45-ft. lots, the subdivision
will have to provide three 12-ft. x 12-ft. dumpster enclosures in common areas. The applicant has
proposed an amendment to the concept plan that will allow for the modification of sanitation
standards to allow individual trash service for each lot.
Item Back ground: The adopted purpose and intent of this PDD is "a single family
residential community with amenities that provide for an enhanced quality of life". The applicant
has proposed 52 residential lots on 9.698 acres (5.36 dwelling units/acre) with 0.719 acres of
common areas that will be used for traffic calming, landscaping, drainage, and pedestrian
connectivity to the adjoining neighborhood. The concept also shows the extension of a residential
street (Whispering Creek) from Spring Creek Townhomes into and through the proposed
development with a landscape easement on one side. Landscaping is also proposed along Spring
Garden Drive (the ability to plant in the right-of-way will require a Public Improvement in the Public
Right-of-Way Permit). Homes will vary from 15 to 35 feet in height. The subdivision will utilize
existing drainage facilities.
The following residential dimensional standards were adopted with this concept plan:
UDO Standard PDD Standard
Front setback 25 ft. 20 ft.
Side setback 7.5 ft. 5 ft.
• Lot area 5000 sq.ft. 4500 sq.ft.
Lot width 50 ft. 45 ft.
A modification to the block length will also be requested, but as it is a variance to a
• Subdivision Regulation, it must be decided by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Sanitation Recommendations: Sanitation does not oppose single-family service for this
subdivision.
Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval as submitted.
Review Criteria:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with
the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose
of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street
directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or
• pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by
the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing
zoning and land uses in the area.
Minimum Requirements: Unless otherwise indicated in the approved Concept Plan, the
minimum requirements for this development are as stated in the Unified Development Ordinance
for R-1 Single-Family Residential.

Spring Creek Gardens Subdivision
• PDD Zoning—9.698 Acres
Meritorious Modifications
October, 2004
The Owner/Developer of this property received a zoning change from A-O to Planned
Development District allowing the subdivision to be developed as shown on the Concept
Plan. Several meritorious modifications to the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning
Ordinance were approved to accommodate the proposed plan. One additional meritorious
modification is being requested:
• The Developer requests that individual solid waste containers with curb service be
allowed for each single family residential lot instead of one eight-yard dumpster
per sixteen dwelling units, as required by the UDO.
•
Spring Creek Gardens Subdivision
Justification for
Meritorious Modifications to City Standards
October,2004
The Developer desires to develop the property as a single-family residential community
with the target market for each home being retirees who desire a manageable size home
with a smaller yard than a normal residence.
The Unified Development Ordinance(UDO) requires that single family residential
developments with lot widths less than 50' shall have solid waste service provided by an
eight-cubic-yard dumpster for each 16 dwelling units instead of individual containers for
curb service. The Developer is requesting individual container curb service for these lots
because all the dwelling units will have garages, and the eight-cubic-yard dumpster pads
and screen fences would have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Landscaping is
proposed for this subdivision in the common areas and along the street,and dumpster pads
will not fit into the improved aesthetics the Developer is trying to achieve.
The lot widths proposed for the subdivision vary from 45' to 52'. The Developer could
meet the 50' requirement by eliminating the common areas and making the lots at least 50'
in width. However,this would also eliminate the uniqueness the Developer is trying to
achieve with this development.
