Analysis
SUMMARY:
Zoning Change from A, Agriculture to PD, Planned Development and Concept Plan for creating two residential lots from one tract on 2.85 acres. Tracts 1A and 1B, Joab Watson Survey, Abstract No. 1632, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas. Generally located northwest of the intersection of Broad St. and Day Miar Rd. and addressed as 4665 E. Broad St. Zoned Agriculture (A) District (proposed Lots 1 and 2, Block A, Day Miar Broad Addition.)
ADJACENT LAND USES AND ACCESS:
North: Single-Family Residential, City of Mansfield zoning.
South: Broad St., City of Mansfield city limits.
East: Day Miar Rd./England Pkwy. Undeveloped land zoned A, Agricultural.
West: Broad St., Single-Family Residential, City of Mansfield zoning.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to create a Planned Development District for single family estate development on 2.85 acres. The applicant intends to create two (2) residential lots from one lot. The property is currently zoned Agriculture with an existing single-family house along with livestock and equestrian uses, including pens and the existing barn to be converted into a second house.
According to Tarrant County records, the existing house was constructed in 1968. The house will remain on the newly-created southern lot with a separate address and dedicated access from Day Miar.
The applicant proposes to continue the existing livestock uses on the proposed northern lot. All newly created structures intended for livestock must be set back a minimum of 100 feet from neighboring residences.
PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:
The proposed residential home will have a living area of 2,639 sq. ft. The proposed residential lot will use an existing driveway from Day Miar Road. The entry to the house will face south with a rear entry garage not visible from Day Miar Road. The existing metal siding will be overlaid with a 100% stone facade. The existing standing seam metal roof will remain. The house meets the minimum living area required in the SF-E district, along with the density and dimensional standars with the exception of front setback.
The applicant proposes to utilize well water and septic for the newly created lot. These facilities must be approved and permitted administratively prior to issuance of building permits.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this area as Single Family. Single family zoning includes residential development. The proposal is consistent with the FLUM.
DENSITY AND DIMENSIONAL IMPACTS:
The applicant proposes to develop the property as a Planned Development with a base zoning of SF-E, Single-Family Estate District. Table 1 summarizes the proposed density and dimensional standards.

REQUESTED APPEALS BY APPLICANT:
With the approval of the proposed Planned Development, the applicant will be exempt from Resolution 3924.
The applicant is requesting a 29'5" setback from Day Miar Road rather than the 40 foot setback required in the SF-E district. Because the structure and road alignment are existing, staff supports this appeal.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee recommends approval of the rezoning request while noting that further administrative permits are needed prior to installation of water and septic facilities.
