Commission approves Jimenez final plat and subdivision variances for 2.17-acre tract
Summary
The commission granted final plat approval and two subdivision variances for a 2.17-acre tract off El Indio Highway to be divided into two lots; Community Development conditioned approval on compliance with Chapter 23 of the City Code and standard plat provisions.
The Eagle Pass Planning and Zoning Commission approved final platting for the Jimenez Subdivision on Oct. 24, allowing a 2.17-acre tract to be divided into two lots of approximately 1.086 and 1.085 acres. The application, submitted by Dirksen Engineering for owner Juan Jimenez, requested two subdivision variances to permit platting of property less than five acres that was conveyed prior to 1984.
Staff told commissioners the parcel—zoned B‑1—is presently vacant and proposed to be marketed for sale. The Community Development Department recommended the commission (1) grant a subdivision-variance from section 23‑36a governing preliminary-plat requirements, (2) grant a variance from section 23‑11d to allow platting of property less than five acres conveyed prior to 1984, and (3) grant final approval of the proposed plat subject to compliance with Article 3 of the City of Eagle Pass Code of Ordinances, Chapter 23.
After staff presentation and a brief opportunity for questions, a motion to approve the department’s recommendation was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote. The commission did not record a roll-call tally on the hearing record.
Next steps: the applicant must ensure the recorded plat complies with Article 3 and then pursue any necessary building permits or development approvals before development proceeds.
