Executive Summary
The subject property is located on Wurzbach Road, north of Methodist Hospital. The area is surrounded by commercial and residential structures. The applicant is requesting variances to develop a vacant lot and construct a commercial structure. The proposed commercial structure is abutting a multi-family residential property on the southeast and southwest sides. The proposed site plan meets both front and rear setback requirements.
