C. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
10. 17-0200 Ordinance Amending the Urban Transportation Plan (UTP) Map:
Deletion of Coverdale Street (Widgeon Drive) between the proposed
extension of County Road 52 and Starlite Lane.
Annika Yankee, Development Services, presented item"10"as shown above.
This item was tabled from the December 14,2016, Planning Commission
meeting in order for Staff to look further into the Comprehensive
Plan/Transportation Plan of the subject area. She informed the Commission
that in 1963,the UTP map did not include the Coverdale Street/Widgeon Drive
Corpus Christi Page 3 Printed on 2/23/2017
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 9,2017
segment that is north of Haven Road and in 2003 it was added to the UTP map.
The proposed amendment has been brought forth due to a property owner's
request to develop an unplatted tract of land for his private residence. One of
the platting requirements is the dedication of right-of-way and subsequent
construction of the extension of Coverdale Street,in accordance with the
City's UTP Map. The northern portion of Coverdale Street extended from the
proposed extension of County Road 52 to Starlite Lane would cut through a
relatively narrow tract of his property.
Provided that the owner dedicated and improved the street,the remainder of
land would be two tracts, one of which would only have a depth of about 30
feet by a length of 1,000 feet. The Staff position is that this extension would
place a disproportionate burden of right-of-way dedication and construction.
Staff feel that deleting the proposed extension of Coverdale Street/Widgeon
Drive is not detrimental to the area and the neighborhood to the south already
has two exits to Violet Road.City Staff(Traffic Engineering, Development
Services)recommends the deletion of the proposed extension of Coverdale
Street/Widgeon Drive. Deleting this segment will not negatively impact mobility
in the area.
After Staff's presentation,Chairman Ramirez opened the public hearing.With
no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. A motion to approve
Staff recommendation for item "10"was made by Commissioner Crull and
seconded by Vice Chairman Villarreal. The motion passed.
