ITEM NO.: 1
H. ANALYSIS:
FILE NO.: S-1877
The subject property is located at the southwestern corner of Interstate 30 and
Otter Creek Road. The property is zoned "C-4" Open Display District. The
property is currently vacant and undeveloped. It was previously occupied as a
gravel parking area for semi trucks and trailers associated with Cal Ark trucking
company.
The applicant proposes to subdivide the 16.12 acre property into three (3) lots.
The lots will range in size from 7.56 acres to 1.98 acres. A convenience store/truck
stop development is planned for Lot 1 (6.57 acres).
The proposed plat shows three (3) new driveways along the 1-30 frontage for Lot
1 and one (1) driveway each for Lots 2 and 3. Two (2) new driveways along the
Otter Creek Road frontage are also shown for Lot 1. A small lease parcel for a
billboard is shown on Lot 3.
The floodway extends onto a small portion of Lot 3 along its west boundary. The
applicant has shown an easement for the floodway, as well as a required 25 foot
maintenance easement for the floodway area. Minimum finish floor elevations are
shown for Lots 1 and 3, as required.
The applicant is requesting one (1) variance with the proposed preliminary plat.
Section 31-284(b) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance states that commercial lots
must have a lot depth which does not exceed three (3) times the lot width. The lot
depth for Lot 3 is slightly over three (3) times the lot width. Staff supports the
variance request as it is very minor in nature.
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues related to this preliminary
plat request. The applicant has done a good job in addressing issues as raised by
staff during staffs review of this plat. The subdividing of this property should have
no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat and lot width -to -depth
variance, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in
paragraphs D and E, and the staff analysis, of the agenda staff report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 24, 2020)
