Resolution approving the Final Plat Revision for Lot 1 of the White Oak West Resubdivision and granting a Variance to the lot area for the vacant 8.42 acre property located at 2121 Diehl Road and 1954 McKesson Street (White Oak West TMG, LLC - AU12/2-13.321-Fsd/R/V - JR/ST - Ward 1)
body
PURPOSE:
The petitioner, White Oak West TMG, LLC is proposing a Final Plat Revision with Variance on 8.42 acres to consolidate Lots 1 and 2 of the White Oak Subdivision located at 2121 Diehl Road and 1954 McKesson Street.
BACKGROUND:
This Final Plat Revision with Variance petition, which is part of the V3 Molitor Special Use Planned Development, was referred by the City Council to the Planning and Zoning Division on August 27, 2013. A Final Plan with Variance petition (AU12/2-13.322-Fpn/V) is related to this petition.
Legislative History:
Date Review Body Motion Vote
10/16/2013 Planning Commission Approval unanimous
10/8/2013 Planning Council Forward unanimous
DISCUSSION:
Development Proposal:
The proposal consists of consolidating Lots 1 and 2 of the existing White Oak West Subdivision into one lot, being Lot 1. The proposed consolidated Lot 1 is 8.42 acres in size.
A variance to the Plan Description's maximum lot area requirement of 4.5 acres is requested, in order to allow for said lot consolidation.
Evaluation:
Staff has reviewed the Final Plat Revision with Variance petition submitted by the petitioner. Originally when the White Oak West's Preliminary Plan and Plat was approved in 2006, the City preferred that the Subject Property (Lots 1 and 2) be developed as office uses on smaller lots. However, a Final Plan for a small office use has not been submitted since 2006.
The proposal for a larger lot is consistent with surrounding warehouse, distribution and industrials uses that are located north and south of Diehl Road.
The Planning Commission recommended Approval of the Final Plat Revision and Variance petition.
Public Input:
Due public notice was given for the public hearing on this matter. No witnesses came forward at the hearing. As of the date of this memo, staff has not received any public inquiries regarding this petition.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This item will increase the tax base and overall viability of the City which will offset any incidental Department or staffing impacts.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission recommended APPROVAL of the Final Plat Revision with Variance on 8.42 acres to consolidate Lots 1 and 2 of the White Oak Subdivision located at 2121 Diehl Road and 1954 McKesson Street by White Oak West TMG, LLC.
