Executive Summary

The subject property is a vacant corner lot at the southwest corner of Lamar and N Palmetto Street. The property is within the original 36 square miles of the City of San Antonio but did not exist as a lot at that time, it was part of the public right of way. The lot was created arbitrarily before 1988, where it appears on a city map with a recorded dimension of 50' wide by ## ' deep. Today, according to the Bexar County Appraisal District, the lot is 30'. There is no record of a plat recorded for the property which would be required for building permits to be issued.

The applicant is under contract to purchase the property, pending the outcome of resolving zoning issues to allow for the development of single family homes. The applicant is also planning to purchase the adjacent lot (1000 Lamar) to develop a single family home. The applicant states he will be able to comply with the building setback requirements for the home on this lot, which he is proposing to be approximately 1,500 square feet. A survey of the property is being conducted. The applicant will be filing for a Certificate of Determination for the subject property to be able to obtain building permits and appears to meet the requirements except for the lot size.
