Title
Approving a Preliminary Plan for Huntington Park; a 10.126 acre tract of land out of the Jacob Casner League Survey No. 9, A-2753, in Pflugerville, Texas. (PP1310-01)
Summary
The proposed subdivision is within the City of Pflugerville limits and consists of two, five (5) acre tracts located north of Rowe Lane, between the Rowe Loop intersections. The property is zoned Single Family Urban (SF-U) which allows for a mix of residential land uses with non-residential that serves the immediate neighborhood. The proposed Preliminary Plan establishes Lot 1 as an 8.432-acre residential lot and Lot 2 as a 0.923-acre commercial lot. A residential condominium project is planned for Lot 1, consisting of approximately 128 single-family attached units internally arranged with two private drives accessing Rowe Loop from the east and west. Lot 2 is planned as a commercial land use. The layout of the townhome project and the commercial use including access points and development standards will be reviewed through the site development process. Right of way dedication is proposed along the extent of Rowe Lane (25 feet) and Rowe Loop (5 feet on each applicable side).
As a condominium project, no additional public streets are required. Internal drives will provide access to the development from Rowe Loop and no access points are proposed at this time off of Rowe Lane. As a single-family residential development planned to consist of 128 residential units, a total of 2.56 acres of public parkland is required. For parkland to be dedicated, it is required to meet the minimum 200-ft width and depth requirements and is preferred to be contiguous to other public parkland when less than five acres in size. The development is limited in developable acreage and is not contiguous to existing public parkland. On November 21, 2013, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval for a fee in lieu in the amount of $96,000 for the proposed development. The fee in lieu will be provided at time of final plat.
Staff Recommendation
The subdivision meets the minimum state and local requirements and therefore Staff recommends approval of the Huntington Park Preliminary Plan.
