Background Information:
San Marcos Development Code Section 3.6.2.1.B, Table 3.1 establishes the maximum length for a dead-end street by zoning district. The subject property is zoned Character District 2.5 (CD-2.5) and per Table 3.1 the maximum dead-end street length is 250’. The intent of this requirement is to reduce the number of lots and their corresponding occupants so that in the event of emergency, fewer occupants are impacted, and to ensure that the terminus of a dead-end street is visible from the intersecting street to thus limit pass-through vehicular trips. Like the preceding application, the constraints of the subdivision’s configuration, specifically it being best described as elongated itself, restricts its configuration options. With the objective of maximizing lot count, in staff’s opinion, the subdivision’s proposed configuration with Street B extending 361’ is the lone viable option and staff thus recommends approval of the request as presented.
