Planning staff: Minor plat at 11123 Stewart Road meets R-1 lot standards; no objections reported
Summary
A minor plat to subdivide a 0.502-acre parcel at 11123 Stewart Road into two single-family lots met zoning minimums and drew no objections from city departments or utilities; the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recorded no public comments.
The City of Galveston Planning Commission held a public hearing on a minor plat application to subdivide 11123 Stewart Road into two single-family lots.
City planning staff said the existing 0.502-acre tract fronts Stewart, contains a single-family house and garage, and currently exceeds R-1 lot minimum width and depth. Staff reported 19 notices were sent to nearby property owners and that city departments and private utilities returned no objections. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
Commissioners opened the public hearing and recorded no public comments. Staff noted that Texas law requires a public hearing when a minor plat increases lot density in single-family zoning and that the public hearing is an effort to make the process more transparent even when the commission does not take formal action on an administrative plat.
Because the plat conforms to minimum lot-size and lot-width standards for the R-1 district and there were no objections, staff concluded the proposed two-lot configuration met city requirements. The commission closed the public hearing; no further public testimony was offered.
