The Planning Commission deferred item 83 (Lazac Villas) after several neighbors testified that splitting a large lot into two home sites would be out of character for the neighborhood and could worsen parking and safety conditions.

Fernando Fuentes, who lives nearby, told commissioners that the neighborhood has limited street parking and that adding two large homes "is going to create an issue, is going to create accidents, and it's going to devalue the properties that are already there." He said the area already struggles with parked cars, boats and trailers limiting visibility and navigability.

Elizabeth Williams, speaking on behalf of residents and the Spring Branch Civic Association, told the commission the proposed subdivision would "change the fundamental atmosphere of our community" and pointed to deed restrictions that, she said, presuppose one house per original lot. Williams also said construction on the site had advanced (roofing and siding observed) and neighborhood members raised questions about whether all required permits had been pulled; staff said it would verify permit status and deed restrictions during the review.

Another neighbor asked staff to check if an existing driveway and parking arrangement would be altered by the replat. Staff confirmed legal and deed restriction review was ongoing; because of those unresolved issues the commission deferred the item to allow legal review and coordination with Public Works and neighborhood input.

Action taken: Item 83 was deferred; staff will verify permit status and deed-restriction applicability and return the item.
