From:

Joni Van Noy, Development Coordinator, Development Services

Date:

February 10, 2015

Subject:

Consideration of a Minor Plat of Lots 1-3, Block 2, Wallace Estates located off of County Road 603 in the City of Burleson’s ETJ (Case 15-001)

Background Information: On January 5, 2015, an application was submitted for a Minor Plat for Lot 1-3, Block 2, Wallace Estates encompassing approximately 8.646 acres of land located off of County Road 603 in the City of Burleson’s ETJ. The applicant is requesting the minor plat so that a development permit may be granted by Johnson County to build a residential structure measuring approximately 3,100 sq. ft. on Lot 1 of the proposed minor plat. Lots 2 and 3 will remain vacant at this time; but the property owner intends to sale those for future residential homestead purposes at a later date. Fire protection services are provided by Johnson County Emergency Services District #1. Bethesda Water Supply Corporation provides water services to the property.

Planning Analysis: Minor Plat: The regulation of subdivision development is based upon government's legitimate interest in promoting orderly development, insuring that subdivisions are constructed safely, and protecting future owners from inadequate police and fire protection, inadequate drainage and unsanitary conditions. To achieve this goal, the Planning and Zoning Commission appointees and the City Council members have the legislative authority to adopt a subdivision ordinance. A plat cannot be denied for a

February 10, 2015 1B-2 reason other than failure to comply with applicable regulations. This plat conforms to the requirements of all applicable sections of the City of Burleson Subdivision Ordinance.

Board/Citizen Input: There is no public input required for this case.

Financial Considerations: There is no expenditure of municipal funds associated with this item.

Consideration of a Replat of Lot 23, Block 1, Burleson Commons consisting of approximately 12.058 acres of land located at 1631 SW Wilshire Blvd (Case 15-008)

Planning and Zoning Commission Action Requested: Recommend approval or denial of a Replat of Lot 23, Block 1, Burleson Commons consisting of approximately 12.058 acres of land located at 1631 SW Wilshire Blvd (Case 15-008)

Memorandum To:

The Chair and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission

From:

Shad Rhoten, Senior Planner

Date:

February 10, 2015

Subject:

Consideration of a Commercial Site Plan for a Golden Chick restaurant to be located at 1601 SW Wilshire Blvd. (Case 15-004)

Planning & Zoning Commission Action Requested: Recommendation of approval or denial of a Commercial Site Plan for a 2,993 square foot Golden Chick restaurant on Lot 7, Block 1, Burleson Commons located at 1601 SW Wilshire Blvd (Case 15-004).

Background Information: A commercial site plan application has been submitted whereby the applicant proposes to construct a 2,993 sq. ft. Golden Chick restaurant on 0.63 acres of land platted as Lot 7, Block 1, Burleson Commons. The site is an undeveloped lot that is located on the south side of SW Wilshire, in between Panda Express and Peter Piper Pizza. The subject property has a current zoning designation of Commercial; therefore, a restaurant with a drive thru is an allowed use by right.

Planning Analysis: Commercial Site Plan Request: The material on the building’s exterior walls is in compliance with the Masonry Ordinance. The building’s exterior walls will be constructed of 75-88% masonry (per elevation) utilizing a combination of brick and stone. The site is required to comply with the Landscape Ordinance as a result of the development of the site. Approximately 20% of the site must be landscaped with no more than 90% of that landscaping being grass. The applicant proposes 13% landscaping, but has achieved compliance with the landscaping requirement due to reductions available by planting additional large canopy trees and shrubs on the site.

February 10, 2015 3A - 2 The proposed site plan has been reviewed by the City’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and meets all the technical requirements of all applicable City of Burleson development ordinances. However, the traffic circulation as depicted on the applicant’s site plan has the potential for conflicting automobile movements along the northwest of the site. To clarify, one-way movement is proposed along the front of the site which intersects with an existing two-way drive constructed between Panda Express and the subject site (refer to Attachment 3: Site Plan). With the current and proposed drive configuration, there is potential for traffic traveling northwest between Panda Express and Golden Chick to make a conflicting right turn into the one way drive in front of Golden Chick.

Staff discussed possible alternative site layouts with the applicant during site plan review including utilizing a 24’ drive lane to the north of the site, adjacent to Peter Piper Pizza. The applicant did examine this alternative and states this was not a favorable site design. A response letter from the developer is attached to this report for reference (see Attachment 8: Comment Response Letter). A proposed access drive to the north of the site has been removed from the site plan as requested by City Staff to help mitigate potential traffic conflicts. Additionally, the applicant proposes to install no enter signs and driveway markings at this location to notify drivers of the one way traffic direction.

A tabulated listing of site plan requirements is presented below that reflects the level of conformance to city regulations as depicted on the applicant’s site plan submittal Applicable Ordinance Provision Credits required for reduction in total landscape area to 13% of site Landscaping required for 13% of total site area. 40% landscaping in front yard. Irrigation required.
