GENERAL INFORMATION:
Owner: Joe Monroe
Applicant: YPR Consulting Engineers
Applicant: YPR Consulting Engineers
ITEM SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to preliminary plat approximately 22 acres of land to establish two (2) lots. The subject property is currently zoned General Business District (GB) and Single-Family Residential Agricultural District (R-A) and is located within the Joint Base San Antonio- Randolph Accident Potential Zone I and Accident Potential Zone II.
The proposed Monroe Subdivision consists of two (2) lots. Lot 1 is approximately 9.31 acres, is zoned General Business District (GB), and has direct access to Ware-Seguin Road. Lot 2 is approximately 12.39 acres, is zoned Single-Family Residential/ Agricultural District (R-A), and has access to Ware-Seguin Road via a 30-foot ingress and egress easement that runs along the western property line.
UDC Section 21.9.3.J requires that each lot be provided with adequate access to a public street, either by direct frontage or by public access easement approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Lot 2 of the Monroe Subdivision has access to Ware-Seguin Road through a non-exclusive 30-foot ingress and egress easement, which makes the preliminary plat subject to discretionary approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
