HISTORY: In 1993, the City Council approved a Site Plan and Final Plat for
this property, subject to the escrow fee for improvements to
Beltline Road being waived. The original site plan included a
23,143 square foot, two story church with 244 parking spaces.
The remaining land was being devoted to playground, parking,
circulation, and landscaping. On May 9, 2000 the City Council
approved an amended site plan for this tract which enlarged the
facility to 47,891 square feet, added a spire and increased the
number of parking spaces to a total of 395 spaces, subject to the
property being re-platted.
Item # 6
On July 11, 2000, City Council approved the re-plat for this
property, subject to approval from TXU for the relocation of the
utilities and associated easements. This plat was never filed for
record, therefore it expired on January 11, 2001.
TRANSPORTATION: Beltline Road serves the subject site along the southern border and
Northlake Drive along the eastern border. Beltline Road is
presently a substandard, 2-lane asphalt roadway. Current
construction activities will improve this road to a 4 lane divided
thoroughfare, with an extra wide median allowing for expansion to
6 lanes in the future. North Lake Drive has 37 feet of pavement,
within 60' of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Mini-warehouses; LI, Light Industrial zoning
South - Northlake Power Plant; City of Dallas zoning
East - Light manufacturing; LI, Light Industrial zoning
West - vacant land; "C" Commercial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial uses.
DISCUSSION: This property was originally platted in 1993, with setback lines and
various utility easements. An amended site plan was approved in May
2000 to allow for a significant expansion to the existing church facilities.
This proposed expansion required the relocation of existing utilities and
their associated easements. Therefore, the re-platting of this lot was
required as a condition of the approval of the amended site plan.
The re-platting of this lot was approved in July of last year, subject to
approval from TXU for the relocation of utilities and associated
easements. Per Section XI - FILING OF PLAT, Subsection A, of the
Subdivision Ordinance, the final plat must be submitted for signatures
by City Officials within six (6) months or the plat shall be deemed null
and void, and a re-submittal shall be required. Therefore, this plat
expired in January of this year. Since that time additional utility
easements have been added to the plat, however, approval is still
required from TXU Electric and Gas for the relocation of their
easements.
