BACKGROUND DATA  APPLICANT AND OWNER: Steffen Waltz, Lockhart QOZ Investments, LLC ENGINEER: Blayne Stansberry, P.E., Stansberry Engineering SURVEYOR: Jerry Hinkle, P.L.S., Hinkle Surveyors SITE LOCATION: 221V W. MLK. Jr. Industrial Blvd. PROPOSED SUBDIVISION NAME: Golden Eagle SIZE OF PROPERTY: 20.673 acres EXISTING USE OF PROPERTY: Vacant  NUMBER OF LOTS: 23 duplex-family residential lots, two multifamily lots, and two commercial lots ZONING CLASSIFICATION: RHD (Residential High Density District) and CMB (Commercial Medium  Business District)  ANALYSIS OF ISSUES  PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The Golden Eagle Preliminary Plat includes 23 proposed duplex-family residential lots, two multifamily lots, and two commercial lots. The public infrastructure will be developed all at once, without phasing. Sunset Drive and South Medina Street will be extended through the subdivision following the thoroughfare alignments shown on the Lockhart 2020 Thoroughfare Plan map. ASubdivision Variance is requested to the Collector Street designation for Sunset Drive on the Thoroughfare Plan, as detailed below. The South Medina Street name is proposed to be changed to Golden Parkway for that portion extending through the subdivision property. When new street names are proposed, we routinely consult with The Caldwell County Appraisal District and the County 911 Coordinator to make sure that it meets their standards. In a September 3rd e-mail to staff, Matthew Allen of the Caldwell County Appraisal District expressed opposition to the change, citing potential confusion in the event of an emergency. In addition, County 9-1-1 Coordinator Jaclyn Archer also had similar concerns, stating in a September 3, 2021 e-mail that "Per CAPCOG and Caldwell County 9-1-1 Addressing Guidelines, 'where practicable, each continual road shall have the same primary street name and street suffixt throughout its entire length, regardless of boundaries of local political subdivision." Section 52-72(n) of the Subdivision Regulations specifies that names of new streets being constructed as part of a subdivision are subject toa approval of the Commission, and that once a street is accepted by the City and the subdivision plat isre recorded identifying the name of such street, any subsequent change in the street name is subject to approval by the City Council. The plat identifies short 50-foot wide north/south rights-of-way on both sides of Sunset Drive, at the west end of the existing street, that are proposed to be vacated by separate instrument at some point in the future. When vacated, all or portions of those two areas will become attached to the subject property, at which point such vacation must clearly be shown on  the final plati if it occurs prior to the time oft final plat approval.    NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: The subject property is bordered to the west by an undeveloped property zoned AO Agricultural-Open Space District). The abutting property to the south, across West MLK. Jr. Industrial Boulevard, is also undeveloped and zoned AO. The properties adjacent to the east include the current Golden Age assisted living facility, the Caldwell County Justice Center, and commercial and residential uses. The properties to the north include the Hunters Pointe Subdivision and a vacant property zoned RHD. The proposed duplex, multifamily, and commercial uses will be located in an area generally transitioning from residential uses to the north and commercial uses to the south and east. According to the applicant, the two multifamily lots are each proposed to achieve a density above 12 units per acre which, according to Appendix lof the Zoning Ordinance, falls into the MF-2 residential development type requiring approval of a Specific Use Permit by the Commission FORM AND CONTENT: The plat complies with all minimum requirements for form and content. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS: The proposed development will meet all applicable subdivision standards, including construction of new streets where required, sidewalks, utilities, and stormwater drainage, except for compliance with the minimum Collector Street right-of-way width for Sunset Drive, for which a variance is requested. In addition, the plat shows a substandard 20-foot front building setbacki indiçated on the commercial lots (Lot 1, Block A, and Lot1, Block B). The setback line should be changed to 25 feet, and the part of Note 8 on the plat referring to the commercial zoning front building setback" being 20 feet should be deleted. As reflected in the attached letter dated September 14th, the applicant's engineer agrees to this change. A variance to building setbacks, which are a zoning standard, can only be granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The subdivision will be served by a regional stormwater detention area on the proposed multifamily lot identified as Lot 1, Block D. A fee in lieu of parkland dedication is proposed to be paid by the developer prior to the recording of the final plat. The final engineering design must be completed prior to the Commission's consideration of the final plat, which is the next stage after the preliminary plat CONCURRENT VARIANCE REQUESTED: A Variance is requested to the requirement in Section 52-72(a) that Sunset Drive conform to Thoroughfare Plan designation of Sunset Drive as a Collector Street. As provided in Section 52-72(1)(2), the minimum right-of-way width for collector streets is 60 feet, whereas the applicant proposes a 50-foot width, which matches the right-of-way width of the existing Sunset Drive. The applicant's justification is explained in the attached letter dated The criteria for granting variances is set forth in Subdivision Regulations Section 52-3(a), as follows: 1. Special circumstances or conditions affect the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of the Code would deprive the applicant reasonable use of the land; 2. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right 3. The variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, and will not be 4. The variance shall not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other lands in  for up to 24 units per acre in the RHD: Zoning District (Section 64-196(f(2)ld).  process.
