Planning commission approves site plan, development amendments and other items; several cases continued
Summary
The commission approved a detailed site plan for West Side Preserve, granted an exception to roof-pitch rules, amended a planned development to increase lots, and approved a rezoning in Country East Estates; several larger rezonings were continued to future meetings.
The Midlothian Planning and Zoning Commission on a series of voice votes and roll-call actions approved several development and zoning items and continued others to later meetings.
The commission unanimously approved the detailed site plan for a proposed West Side Preserve office center on a 3.0-acre lot at the southeast corner of Miller Road and U.S. Highway 67 (Planned Development District 146). Daniel Humbert, senior planner, said the comprehensive plan designates the property as a regional module suitable for commercial and office uses; staff recommended approval and the motion passed 7-0.
Commissioners also unanimously approved an exception to Section 3.5501 of the zoning ordinance to permit a primary roof pitch below the 8:12 minimum for a single-family lot at 3820 Mays Court (planned development 43). Staff noted the lot is 1.001 acres, the HOA provided a support letter, and council historically has approved similar roof-pitch exceptions; the motion passed 7-0.
The commission voted 7-0 to approve amendments to Planned Development 157. The amendment replaces the site plan and elevations, increases the number of lots from 108 to 157, and makes changes to lot types and architectural standards (including minimum 25% side-entry garages, 2,000-square-foot minimum air-conditioned area, and landscape/tree requirements). Staff said the change is consistent with the comprehensive-plan medium-density designation for the area and that the applicant provided a robust landscape plan.
The commission approved rezoning Lot 183A in Country East Estates Phase 7 from Agriculture to Single-Family 3 (Lot 183A, 1.187 acres at the termination of Lynn Penny Lane) by a 7-0 vote. Staff said the property can meet single-family 3 development standards and is consistent with the residential low-density future land-use designation.
Several larger rezoning and development items were continued at the request of staff or applicants: a Houston development on High Bridal Lane was continued to the June 17 meeting; one large zoning map amendment (50.958 acres out of the Jay Coleron survey) was continued to July 15; and another large development case (73.94 acres in the Radford Berry survey) was continued to June 17. The commission opened and continued the public hearings per procedure.
Other routine matters: the consent agenda (approval of minutes from April 15, consideration of preliminary plat for Hawkins Run, and extension for the preliminary plat of Redden Farms) passed 7-0.
Motions were passed by voice votes or the commission’s new electronic voting system; where the record shows a unanimous voice vote, staff recorded the tallies as 7-0.
