1400 West Kelly Park Road subdivision second submittal delayed pending engineering comments
Summary
A second submittal for a 5‑acre detached single‑family subdivision at 1400 West Kelly Park Road (proposed eight houses, 23% open space) remains under review while the applicant awaits engineering comments; the DRC said pre‑construction meetings require an approved plan and advised the applicant to contact the interim city engineer.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) on Feb. 19 reviewed the second submittal of a construction-site plan for a detached single‑family subdivision at 1400 West Kelly Park Road. Planning staff summarized the submittal as approximately 5 acres with a maximum density stated in the presentation (given as “2.2 dwelling units per acre” in staff materials) and a maximum allowable unit count of 10; the applicant proposes eight single‑family houses.
Planning staff reported the submittal meets planning comments and proposes 23% open space (the presentation said this includes the retention pond area, described as 75% of the retention pond counted toward open space) against the code minimum of 20%. The applicant, Jose Chavez, said he is ready to move to grading and construction and asked for support from engineering to finalize design; he said he has been awaiting engineering comments for more than four months and is anxious to start construction to build his personal residence.
Community development staff explained that the city’s interim city engineer will return tomorrow and advised the applicant to reach out; staff also noted standard process: a pre‑construction meeting typically cannot occur until the plan is formally approved. No change to the DRC approval status was recorded at the meeting.
Next steps: applicant to contact the interim city engineer to resolve outstanding engineering comments and, if necessary, resubmit; no pre‑construction activity should proceed without approvals per standard city procedures.
