North - developing single-family; PD-SF-7
South - vacant; SF-12
East - developed single-family; SF-0 and SF-9
West - vacant, and electrical sub-station; LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan showed duplex and retail as most appropriate; however
the Planning Commission has recently determined that single-
family and retail is the best use for this land
ANALYSIS: Although staff supports the request to subdivide this property in a configuration
which tracks with the recent Commission and Council recommendation to rezone
the property to single-family uses, there are a number of technical difficulties
with this plat that the applicant has yet to address. For example:
-a single street name is advisable for the entire length of the
subdivision
-correct zoning on all properties adjacent to/on this site needs to
be shown
-Oakbend subdivision should be delineated on this plat
-escrow will be required for Coppell and Thweat Roads
-all easements must be shown on the plat (specifically TU and
Brazos Electric)
-updated utility plans need to be provided to staff
-make additional setbacks on lot 16 and 26, Block A
-address issues outlined in Engineering comments (attached)
If these concerns are adequately addressed prior to the Commission meeting, staff would
recommend approval of the preliminary plat.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the plat
