| ITEM SUMMARY: |
| The applicant is requesting to preliminary plat approximately 7 acres of land in order to establish two (2) commercial lots. The property is currently zoned General Business District (GB). Proposed Lot 1, Block 1 is approximately 2.660 acres and is proposed to be developed as a QT convenience store with gas pumps. Ordinance 22-S-15, approved April 12, 2022 authorized the proposed use via a Specific Use Permit. Proposed Lot 2, Block 1 is approximately 3.059 acres, at this time there is no proposed development on this lot. In addition to the two proposed lots there is a 1.129 acre Right of Way dedication included within the preliminary plat. |
| GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: |
| The subject property is located northwest of the intersection of IH 35 Access Road and Cibolo Valley Drive. |
| ACCESS AND CIRCULATION: |
The proposed preliminary plat has frontage along IH 35 access road. Per TxDOT, based on the combined frontages being 526.61 feet, the subdivision is eligible for a combined total of one (1) access point onto IH 35 frontage. Due to the limitation of one access point, the proposed preliminary plat identifies the location of the access and a proposed variable width access easement along Lot 2, Block 1 frontage. No additional right of way dedication is being provided along IH 35.
Per the Master Thoroughfare Plan there is a proposed Commercial Collector, more specifically the extension of Four Oaks Lane which is proposed as a 70-foot wide right of way with 42 feet of pavement width, 5 foot sidewalks on one side and a 10-foot hike and bike trail on the other side. The proposed preliminary plat is dedicating 1.129 acres of right of way along the northern plat boundary for this commercial collector. Lot 1 and Lot 2 both have frontage on the proposed collector. |
