Commission approves rezoning of 8700 Pelway to R4 for single‑family development; bridge improvement condition repeated
Summary
An 8.32‑acre vacant parcel at 8700 Pelway was rezoned from Ranch and Farm to R4 to permit single‑family dwellings. Planning staff attached a condition requiring improvement of the Pelway bridge crossing over the Juan De Herrera Lateral to city standards, the same infrastructure condition imposed on an adjacent rezoning approved earlier.
The El Paso City Planning Commission approved rezoning of an approximately 8.32‑acre vacant site at 8700 Pelway from Ranch and Farm to R4 to allow single‑family dwellings as a continuation of the adjacent R4 neighborhood, planning staff reported.
Planning staff said the parcel abuts existing R4/R5 residential to the north and commercial centers to the south; the Plan El Paso future land‑use map designates the area G3 post‑war. The proposed conceptual layout shows single‑family lots; staff noted the conceptual plan is not binding and recommended approval conditioned on improving the Pelway bridge crossing over the Juan De Herrera Lateral to city standards in accordance with Title 19 (subdivisions) and Title 18 (building and construction).
Applicants confirmed concurrence with staff; commissioners discussed that both this case and the adjacent rezoning include the same bridge‑improvement condition and that details about proportionate shares and platting will be determined during the platting process. Commissioner Hansen stated the rezoning appeared to be an appropriate use for the site; the item was approved by voice vote.
Staff recommendation: approval with condition that the Pelway bridge crossing be improved to city standards. Applicant: David Morales representing property owner. Outcome: approved (voice vote; numerical tally not specified).
