Planning staff described the property as vacant and located adjacent to Interstate 10 and Loop 375. The applicant requested rezoning to allow a general warehouse use; staff said the Mission Valley future land use map designates the site as G‑4, suburban walkable. The detailed site plan shows a general warehouse building, code‑compliant parking and landscaping, vehicular access from Gateway Boulevard East and Americas Avenue, and sidewalks abutting the subject property with an accessible path connecting to Americas Avenue.

Notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet and staff received one letter of support from the Mission Valley Civic Association. Staff recommended approval of both the rezoning and the detailed site plan; staff added a condition that the rezoning be approved prior to issuance of permits or certificates of occupancy because the current C‑3 zone does not allow the proposed use.

Commissioners voted first to approve the rezoning and then to approve the detailed site plan; both motions carried during the Feb. 27 meeting.

Planning staff said the replat would subdivide a 0.56-acre parcel to create two single-family lots with access from Link Drive and on-site ponding for storm drainage. The applicant requested one exception—to waive five feet of sidewalk to match the surrounding block—arguing the remainder of the neighborhood lacks sidewalks. Staff noted streets and maintenance opposed the exception but also reported the exception met Title 19 criteria when more than 50% of the surrounding area lacks sidewalks.

During public hearing no members of the public spoke. Applicant counsel Denise (last name in transcript) said the property owners, an elderly couple, wished to subdivide the lot for family use and requested the exemption so the new subdivision would match the rest of the block.

Commission debate focused on safety and consistency. Some commissioners expressed concern that building a short sidewalk segment could be inadequate or even more hazardous if it did not connect to an existing network; others stressed future safety for pedestrians and nearby schoolchildren. The commission first voted on a motion to approve the plat with the exception; that motion resulted in a 3–3 tie and failed. The commission then approved the subdivision itself (the plat) in a separate motion without taking the sidewalk exception into account. Afterwards the commission took a separate motion on the sidewalk exception; that vote also resulted in a 3–3 tie and failed, leaving the sidewalk requirement in place for now.

In short: the replat was approved and will proceed through the normal permitting path, and the applicant’s request to waive the five-foot sidewalk was not approved by the commission.","The commission approved Henry Subdivision Replat A (two single-family lots) but split on a requested exception to waive a five-foot sidewalk; the subdivision was approved while two separate votes on the sidewalk exception resulted in a tie and a subsequent failure to pass the waiver.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660650,"Nunez Estates plat approved with multiple exceptions",172,1484000,1656000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435121-bd238695e490ecc993407afc65651e2d&start=1484&end=1656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435121-bd238695e490ecc993407afc65651e2d/thumbnail_1484000.jpg","/articles/6660650/El-Paso-City/El-Paso-County/Texas/Nunez-Estates-plat-approved-with-multiple-exceptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660650-fea1134b18e5246f0faaf62f9593375a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775687506&Signature=Xj0DZasvou3bbA2mIAa6rZ0mwNpXXOxg0Fl68GUdcsFHHzIuQIrn~qVnrVBhmi9wLpNVCpDdYc69kfJ5NwmzxaseddQ0y1UvbuM0FxOslMFCsTT0ov7r-ezdPbfP1I8LixYta3MSPOdR0qYkH3h8veFqOKdQqGHhuDYnfmuROao4ga7wZeV6iy3pfV-j6tgjeGdLLSh1dFw42DjTfhjm~7kxd1DwEQO8rxN3uH8ddsU2vsQ~8DYwSHUUNcEpI-~UXgwcqu6jO9K0-YeNehLcIOFqom2afeW7LrGr7pJg1mgx2HmtEyHpkOPgZShyrfN1fn3a-xzv2gPWzd52YxQk3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Plan Commission approved the Nunez Estates major combination plat and granted three exceptions related to right-of-way and street improvements along Gomez Road.

Staff reported the exception requests were to match existing conditions and met the criteria set in El Paso City Code Title 19.

The applicant’s representative stated they concurred with staff comments. Commissioners had no substantive questions during the presentation. After a motion and second, the commission approved the major combination with the requested exceptions; the motion carried by voice vote during the Feb. 27 meeting.

Planning staff recorded that drainage for the subdivision would be managed by on-site ponding and that the applicant must comply with the staff report conditions prior to permits.","Nunez Estates, a 1.46-acre residential major combination, was approved with three exceptions to right-of-way, roadway width and sidewalk requirements; staff said drainage will be managed by on-site ponding.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660653,"Commission approves Holstein Estates major combination with sidewalk exception",310,1059000,1369000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435121-bd238695e490ecc993407afc65651e2d&start=1059&end=1369","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435121-bd238695e490ecc993407afc65651e2d/thumbnail_1059000.jpg","/articles/6660653/El-Paso-City/El-Paso-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Holstein-Estates-major-combination-with-sidewalk-exception","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660653-92e2d0e9c665f1e6124a0f78c2111c2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775687506&Signature=Whol3cvR0qmD~vw1fKTEyv8WVR8v~ZmzGQofkLzKeG~UdSk-KAx2TNDSHnyF2DpdJNmcTpAX4dBC3~V1i-Jy0EnG2f09kcoN1qBYy0xjysfAHD18fc3WzMjcuwSYpSU6ucfC69314zcWc4Ir4U4BT-2JX5S3BzR7C7HZ9dqZoSr37enPM92iaTjBAAeJhWCGVhelNnPphhmOP-fafCJvamd-hwb0Gohavs3fbHbA-bGjDXaDSmopuF4ANLZAXNKYn61XvkMkrcGOc0egwhSpGOFZzj9e9Z29LqIYUL2X4ZFwJUusPr92i2dVz5Ma4lTS9zhEAbndoL8~9ZmugRvNAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Plan Commission approved the Holstein Estates major combination plat, allowing an approximately 4.96-acre commercial subdivision to proceed and granting a one-foot sidewalk waiver along Zaragoza Road.

The staff report recommended approval and noted the applicant requested an exception to waive construction of one foot of sidewalk to match existing conditions; staff said the request met the exception criteria in El Paso City Code Title 19.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about right-of-way vacation and access; staff clarified the existing dedicated—but unimproved—road would be vacated through a separate instrument and the lot would have direct frontage and access to Zaragoza Road following the vacation. The applicant’s representative confirmed concurrence with staff comments.

Following a motion and second, the commission approved the major combination with the requested exceptions. The motion passed without recorded opposition during the Feb. 27 meeting.

The commission approved the proposal on a 5–2 roll-call vote during its Feb. 27 meeting. The plat covers a 1.05-acre site proposed to become a single commercial lot with vehicular access from Alabama Street. Planning staff recommended approval with the listed exceptions and modifications in the staff report.

The applicant sought one exception to match existing street conditions: to allow the sidewalk to abut the roadway and to waive three feet of additional sidewalk that would otherwise be required by El Paso City Code. Alex Alejandre, planning staff, told the commission the exception request “meets the criteria on El Paso City Code Title 19.”

During public questions the chair, Alfredo Borrego, pressed staff and the applicant on stormwater handling and whether runoff would be conveyed into Alabama Street. Borrego asked, “Why this business is not made or asked to keep their storm water and [not] allowed to go into the street?” Planning and inspections staff responded that the project was reviewed against the city’s master drainage plan and that, for this site, drainage by conveyance in the street was consistent with that plan.

Fermi Dorado of Dorado Engineering, speaking for the applicant, said the streets had been improved previously and that a drop inlet existed nearby. Dorado stated the applicant concurred with staff comments and did not object to the conditions recommended in the staff report.

Roll-call voting on the motion recorded several commissioners by name: Commissioner Masood voted yes; Chair Alfredo Borrego voted no. The motion carried 5–2. The approval included the sidewalk exception and the requirement that the applicant comply with all remaining staff-report conditions.

The commission forwarded its recommendation to city council as required by the commission’s procedures; the staff report notes full compliance with subdivision code requirements and lists the exception under Title 19 of the El Paso City Code as the legal basis for the waiver.","The City Plan Commission approved a major combination plat for McKelligan Business Center and granted an exception to waive three feet of sidewalk along Alabama Street; commissioners raised questions about stormwater conveyance before the 5–2 vote.","actionData","errors"]
