Benbrook staff: replat RP2605 conforms to historical site plan, recommends approval
Summary
City staff told the Planning and Zoning Commission that the apartment use on the multi‑zoned parcel is a legal conforming use due to a 1979 site plan, that the proposed plat dedicates access easements, and that staff recommends approval of RP2605.
In its staff report on final plat RP2605, the City of Benbrook explained the parcel’s zoning history and recommended approval of the proposed replat.
Mr. Howard told commissioners the apartment complex was approved in 1979 as part of a planned development via a site plan, making the existing apartment use a legal conforming use in an area that is today zoned differently in other parcels. He said the proposed plat dedicates access easements and that the current shared drive functions consistently with the Benbrook Municipal Code’s requirement that lots front a dedicated public street, approved private street, or other approved access. "So as long as even if it keeps getting sold and sold, it has approved access, and those easements are in place," Mr. Howard said, and he recommended the commission approve the final plat request RP2605.
Mr. Howard also clarified the address reassignment process: once the plat is recorded the city updates plat information and sends address changes to Tarrant County 911, the fire department, utilities and other interested parties; staff stated this is an automatic, staff‑handled follow‑up rather than a separate step for the applicant.
