Military Awareness Zone:
The subject property lies within the Camp Bullis 5-Mile Awareness Zone. In accordance with the executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the City’s Office of Military Affairs and the Camp Bullis Military Installation were notified.
Staff Findings:
Within Planned Unit Developments (PUD’s) the only UDC-mandated setback requirement is a 20’ perimeter setback. The requested amendment to reduce the rear setback from 20’ to 5’ affects properties on the perimeter of the PUD, but also reduces the setback on internal lots where the restriction is not required.
The impact is unlikely to have a negative effect on nearby properties as most are included within the same development area. Furthermore, the 5’ rear setback is permitted in other zoning districts. A 5’ rear setback is allowed under the Fire Code.
Alternative Actions:
Pursuant to Unified Development Code Section 35-413, the Planning Commission may approve the Planned Unit Development plan as submitted, amend and approve the plan as amended, or disapprove the plan.
1. Approve: The Planning Commission may approve the PUD Plan in accordance with the requirements of Unified Development Code Section 35-344.
2. Amend: The Planning Commission has the discretion to amend a Planned Unit
Development by:
a) Approving lesser setbacks after considering physical features such as the location
of trees, waterways, steep slopes, other buffers and/or compatibility of the PUD with adjacent land uses provided such setbacks meet the requirements of the current adopted International Building Code.
b) Requiring dedication and construction of public streets through or into a PUD.
c) Approving a decrease in the amount of required parks/open space when the PUD
plan includes unique design features or amenities.
3. Denial: The Planning Commission may disapprove a PUD Plan that does not comply with the Unified Development Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff reviewed the request and does support the relief/adjustment for this PUD major amendment.
Should the Planning Commission grant approval of the PUD with the requested relief, the Planned Unit Development consists of 20.52 acre tract of land, which proposes sixty-four (64) single- family residential lots and one (1) non single-family residential lots and approximately five thousand one hundred (5,100) linear feet of private streets.
