The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a sidewalk waiver and a subdivision variance for property at 1411 Wagon Wheel Road (Lot 28, Loma Linda Subdivision Unit 4), allowing a proposed replat that will split the existing parcel into three lots and reduce the required lot depth for R‑5 Garden Home District standards from 100 feet to 70 feet.

Omar Rodriguez, fixed assets coordinator, summarized the request submitted by Cabell Engineering on behalf of Platinum Quality Homes LLC and said the parcel sits in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and is currently vacant and served by public utilities. Staff said the replat will be approved or denied administratively after the commission’s action, and that 55 notices were mailed; four were returned undeliverable and no letters in favor or opposition were received.

Staff recommended granting the sidewalk waiver because there is no existing curb, gutter or sidewalk infrastructure at the site, and recommended the subdivision variance because the proposed new lots would be shallower (70 feet) than the 100‑foot depth stated in section 23‑69(b)(2)(b) for R‑5 Garden Home District lots. Staff also noted the proposed lots would still be comparable in overall square footage to many city lots (around 8,000+ square feet) even though their depth is reduced.

Commissioners asked whether the undeliverable notices reflected use of PO boxes in the subdivision; staff confirmed the deliverable notices were sent to physical addresses. Commissioner Perez moved to approve the community development recommendation; his motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor. Staff said the replat will then be processed administratively per recent state legislation that removed preliminary plats from commission review.
