HISTORY:
• May 4, 2015: the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Preliminary Plat for Smith I-20 Addition, Lots 1-5, Block A (Case Number P150501).
• June 23, 2016: the Development Review Committee (DRC) approved a Final Plat for Lot 1 of Smith I-20 Addition (Case Number P160705). The plat was never filed and has expired. Since this property is now owned by a different property owner, it is not included in the Preliminary Plat that is under consideration.
• May 1, 2017: The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Preliminary Plat for Smith I-20 Addition, Lot 2 (Case Number P170403) which consolidated Lots 2-5 into a single lot.
• January 22, 2019: City Council approved a Site Plan for Texas Roadhouse (Case Number S190101) on Lot 1.
• The Final Plat for Lot 1 is currently being reviewed by DRC.
PLAT FEATURES:
The plat depicts the necessary utility easements and meets density and dimensional requirements in the Unified Development Code (UDC).
The plat depicts an access easement along IH-20, Sara Jane Pkwy, and Bob Smith Pkwy that will provide cross access and circulation. The access easement shows the location of two curb cuts on IH-20. The placement and spacing of the proposed curb cuts meet City standards but will ultimately require approval from TXDOT.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) recommends approval.
