Background Information:
This property is located within the Dunbar neighborhood. It is a currently vacant lot that the owner is proposing to re-zone to ND-3, which would allow them to divide the lot into two smaller lots. The applicant is proposing that each lot will have one primary residence, and one lot will have an Accessory Dwelling Unit.
According to Section 4.1.2.5(D), this property is subject to the Single Family Preservation Buffer analysis requirements. After review of the analysis, it has been determined that the surrounding property within the buffer is primarily Single Family - 6 (SF-6), with approximately 59% of the surrounding property zoned SF-6.
The applicant is proposing to divide this lot into two smaller lots. These proposed lots are similar in size to the existing lots behind them, facing Centre Street. However, while the proposed lots meet the minimum lot width requirements for the proposed zoning district, ND-3, they exceed the maximum 3:1 depth to width ratio platting requirement. In order for these lots to meet City of San Marcos requirements, an Alternative Compliance request must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
