Background Information:
San Marcos Development Code Section 3.6.3.1.B states severely elongated lots (in excess of a three to one (3:1) length to width ratio) shall not be permitted except for use as dedicated parkland lots, or for use as townhome or zero lot line building type lots. The intent of this requirement is to ensure uniformity of lot configuration, uniformity of the arrangement of buildings, and to deter lots from taking access solely from a long and narrow strip of land. Nonetheless, the constraints of the subdivision’s configuration, specifically it being best described as elongated itself, the presence of an existing single-family development to this subdivision’s south, and the typical minimum 475’ spacing requirement between 2 intersecting streets along a major thoroughfare, the layout of the proposed subdivision is therefore both logical and maximizes lot count and thus staff recommends approval of the request as presented.
