ITEM NO. 15. APPROVED GRANTING AN EXCEPTION TO SECTION 84-411 OF
THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins presented the case to the City
Council. He advised that the applicant, Mr. Chris Lyons, owns a preliminary platted 6.1715
acre parcel located on North Industrial Boulevard, immediately to the south of the
Professional Turf Products. The preliminary plat was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on September 17, 2013. City regulations require that before subdivided parcels
are purchased, a final plat is required, and before a final plat is filed, site plans and public
infrastructure must be installed. A buyer desires to purchase 1.17 acres out of this tract of
land with the intent to construct a medical office building in the future. Section 84-411,
Conveyance Plat, paragraph (b) Applicability,, ,requires a minimum of five acres for a
conveyance plat without having to complete public improvements. Consistent with this
Council Minutes Page 12 of 16 November 12, 2013
regulation, the purchaser cannot close the sale without a recorded plat and the City will not
record the plat until the public infrastructure is in place. With Mr. Lyon's property, the
required infrastructure is in place to support the parcel's development. Staff is
recommending that an exception be granted by the City Council to allow a conveyance plat
to be applied, approved and filed for a tract less than the required five acres. The granting of
an exception by the City Council is a process that is established in Section 84-26, Platting
regulations; general. If the City Council grants the exception, it can be certain that the City's
interests are protected. The purchaser of the property will be required, prior to the issuance
of a building permit, to follow the final platting and site plan process that would lead to the
construction of the public improvements and other infrastructure necessary to support the
development of the property.
Senior Planner Stephen Cook outlined the boundaries of Mr. Lyons property and the
proposed 1.17 acre parcel.
Council Member Porterfield inquired if Super Value Pharmacy was to the south of the
property.
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins confirmed that it was.
Council Member Stinneford motioned to approve granting an exception to Section 84-411,
Conveyance Plat, paragraph (b), Applicability, to allow the filing of a conveyance plat for less
than the required five (5) acres for a portion of a 6.1715 acre tract of the Harwood Plaza
Addition within the J.P. Halford Survey, Abstract 711, within the 900 block of North Industrial
Boulevard.
Mayor Pro Tern Hogg seconded the motion.
Ayes: Mayor Saleh, Mayor Pro Tern Hogg, Council Members Stinneford, Eilenfeldt,
Porterfield, and Bynum
Nays: None
Mayor Saleh declared the motion carried.
Council Member Bynum stated that the process seems to be a burden on the property owner
and inquired if there was a way to lessen the burden for future requestors.
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins stated that the City Council may
remove the requirement, through the appropriate procedures, of the five acre minimum. He
added that in his 12 years of service, this is the first property owner to request the exception.
