HISTORY: This property was platted for four apartment sites in the mid 80's at about
the time the economy began to slow down, and no development occurred.
When the Commission called a public hearing to consider proper zoning
in the spring of 1994, considerable support was expressed to rezone this
land to single - family. Part of that support came from the success of a
single - family subdivision developed by this same owner on the south side
of Parkway Blvd. Once the rezoning was adopted by Council, this owner
elected to replat the property for the 183 lot subdivision being reviewed
at this time.
Item 16
TRANSPORTATION: Parkway Blvd. is a C413, four -lane divided street, built to
standard in a 85 foot r.o.w. Coppell Road is shown as a
C2U, but is currently an unimproved two lane asphalt road
contained within 110 feet of r.o.w.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant; A, Agriculture and LI, Light Industrial
South - developing single - family; SF -7
East - vacant; SF -12 and SF -9
West - vacant; LI, Light Industrial and SF -7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows multi - family uses here, although the
rezoning efforts of 1994 suggested single - family as most
appropriate.
ANALYSIS: The history portion of this recommendation outlines the events which have
led up to this platting application. As a general comment, staff supports
this proposal although there are technical alterations to be made prior to
filing of the plat. Included in that list are easement requirements, street
name clarifications, screening notations, buildable lot areas, among others.
We have included with this Analysis a letter from the engineer dated
November 3, 1994 in which it is stated that all staff concerns are being
addressed. That being the case, staff recommends approval of this plat
subject to conclusion of the issues stated.
