Giddings conditionally approves Cibolo Trails preliminary plat with variances, grants 30-day extension
Summary
Council conditionally approved the Cibolo Trails preliminary plat after Planning & Zoning recommended a 40-foot Pine Street width and variances to allow narrower street and ROW standards; Council also approved a 30-day extension to prevent approval by inaction while an updated plat goes back to P&Z.
The Giddings City Council voted Jan. 27 to conditionally approve the Cibolo Trails preliminary plat following a Planning & Zoning recommendation that included a 40-foot street width on Pine Street and variances permitting 31-foot street widths and 50-foot right-of-ways elsewhere.
Interim City Manager Heather Garner said Planning & Zoning reviewed the submitted plat on Dec. 23 and recommended conditional approval. Council approved the conditional recommendation, with Council Member Kevin Rinn making the motion and Council Member Linda Pruitt seconding; the vote was recorded 4-0 (Ayes: Casey, Pruitt, Janda, Rinn).
Because the Planning & Zoning Commission acted on Dec. 23, staff received a 30-day extension request from the applicant to prevent the plat from being approved by inaction under Section 152.008 of the city code. Council approved the 30-day extension. Garner told council an updated plat that reflects the 40-foot Pine Street width will go back to P&Z on Feb. 5 and is expected to return to council on Feb. 9.
Council also reviewed the city's guidance about required plat application materials and confirmed that a completeness review can be added to the application materials but that statutory "vesting" remains the filing date; staff will pursue any changes to zoning and subdivision ordinances separately.
