HISTORY:
City Council rezoned the property to "C" Commercial in October of 1995, in
compliance with the terms of an agreement settling a lawsuit. The Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Council approved a preliminary plat for the
property in early 1997 under the name of MacArthur Park Phase 2. The
Planning and Zoning Commission approved the final plat for a portion of the
property in April of 1997. However, the final plat was not recorded, so its
approval has become null and void.
TRAIN SPORTATION:
MacArthur Boulevard is a 44ane divided thorouglffare built in a 110'-
wide fight-of-my shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D, 6-lane
divided thoroughfare.
Item # 5
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Commercial development; PD-C zoning
South - DART right-of-way; C and A zoning
East - Commercial development; R and PD-R zoning
West - Transmission line and undeveloped; A and TH-1 zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for regional retail
USES.
DISCUSSION:
Originally this preliminary plat accompanied a request to rezone the property
to a PD District with reduced setbacks. The applicant has reconsidered the site
layout and is proposing now to develop the property in compliance with the
existing C District regulations.
The site plan submitted still requires a few adjustments relative to the location
of property lines within shared driveways. However, approval of the site plan
can be deferred and reviewed with the final plat. In fact, since four of the sites
are not ready for immediate development, it would be more practical to review
the site plan for each tract separately as each final plat is submitted.
The property lines in question are the boundary between Lot 3 and Lot 5, the
boundary between Lot 1 and Lot 5, and the boundary between Lot 1 and Lot
4. In each case, the zoning ordinance requires that at least 45% of the width of
a driveway be shared by the adjoining property to qualify for an exception to
permit landscape buffers to be placed away from the property lines. Also, a
few additional site plan adjustments will be necessary for Lot 2, but these are
details which can be worked out at a later date.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to:
1. Adjustments being made on the final plat, site plan, or both, regarding
the location of property lines within shared driveways.
2. Provision of domestic water service from in front of fire detector check
meters and not from firelines. (See Engineering Comments.)
3. Provision of a utility easement a minimum of 10' by 15' for the fire
detector check meter vault. (See Engineering Comments.)
4. Showing all sight visibility triangle easements on the plat at all points of
driveway ingress and egress. (See Engineering Comments.)
