Planning commission approves replat for 508 South Fifth; zoning remains R‑3
Summary
On June 23 the Alpine Planning and Zoning Committee approved replat application 2025‑07‑01 for 508 South Fifth Street (parcel ID 10378), submitted by Horticultural Consulting LLC; the committee noted the replat updates ownership records and leaves the property's R‑3 apartment zoning unchanged.
ALPINE, Texas — The Alpine City Planning and Zoning Committee on June 23 unanimously approved replat application 2025‑07‑01 to reflect updated ownership of a portion of public property at or about 508 South Fifth Street.
City staff read the application into the record: the applicant is Horticultural Consulting LLC, parcel ID 10378, and the subject property is legally described as a replat of Lot 5, Block 1, J.W. Ferguson Second Edition, City of Alpine subdivision (plat on file in envelope 96, Brewster County records). Staff said the city previously approved the purchase of the parcel and that the replat updates the public record.
Staff and commissioners clarified that the replat does not change the property's zoning classification. The committee noted the current and post‑replat zoning classification remains R‑3 (Apartment District). Committee members asked a few clarifying questions about the parcel's location near Hana Park and about existing parking and turnaround space; staff explained the parcel adjoins duplexes and existing development and that no new street is proposed as part of this action.
A motion to approve the replat passed unanimously. Staff said the replat was a necessary administrative step after council approval of the underlying property purchase and that the approval maintains the current R‑3 zoning designation.
Why this matters: The replat updates property records after a council‑approved purchase and preserves the existing residential zoning on a parcel adjacent to established multifamily structures; it does not authorize new construction or a zoning change.
Next steps: Staff will file the approved replat with county records and the parcel will retain R‑3 zoning unless a separate rezoning application is submitted and approved by the city council.
