ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to subdivide approximately 16.17 acres into 57 single family residential lots and 3 common areas. The applicant has indicated that lots will be used to construct single family residential uses.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the front yard setback of Lots 21 and 22, Block GG to be 30 feet. The governing zoning ordinance, “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 2016-12-095, states:
“The front setback for each block shall be set by the developer. Deviation of more than two (2’) feet from the established setback shall occur only for special conditions and are subject to City Planning and Zoning Commission approval.”
The front yard setback established for Block GG is 13 feet, allowing for a deviation of two feet by right to a setback of either 11 feet or 15 feet. The applicant is requesting to increase the front yard setback on two lots by seventeen feet to a setback of 30 feet in order to meet the minimum lot width requirement of 50 feet, as the lot width is measured at the front yard setback. Lot 23, immediately to the west of Lot 22, is approximately 66 feet in width at a setback of 13 feet, while Lot 22 is approximately 41 feet in width at a setback of 13 feet. Similarly, Lot 20, immediately to the east of Lot 21, is approximately 64 feet in width at a setback of 13 feet, while Lot 21 is approximately 47 feet in width at a setback of 13 feet.
On June 12, 2018, The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to table the item to the June 26, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting per the applicant’s request.
On June 26, 2018, The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0-0 to table the item indefinitely per the applicant’s request.
PLATTING STATUS: The subject property is currently unplatted. Subsequent to the approval of the preliminary-final plat, a record plat or plats, subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning, must be filed for recordation with the Collin County Clerk, prior to issuance of a building permit.
