ACRES)
Located east of CR 73 and south of Northwest Boulevard (FM 624).
Bill Green, Assistant Director of Development Services, presented item “2“ for
the record as shown above. Puerto Los Caballeros, LLC, is required to install
approximately 3,200 linear feet of 6-inch waterline extension to provide
adequate water service to the proposed commercial development of 39.75
acres. Per UDC Section 8.1 Puerto Los Caballeros, LLC is obligated to construct
waterline public improvements. Mr. Green presented an aerial view of the
subject property to show the location and the boundary of the River Acres
Water District. River Acres Water System, the utility provider, has authorized
service to the property. River Acres Water System will approve plans for
construction and inspect and accept the public improvements. Approved
construction drawings must be provided by owner for review and acceptance
by the City’s Development Services Engineer. Since the subject property is
being served by River Acres Water System, and the City will not be accepting
the infrastructure, the owner requests deferment of the public improvements
without a financial security. Staff confirmed that the subject property is not in
the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. Staff recommends approval of
the proposed Deferment Agreement as the requirements are in compliance
with the UDC Section 8.1. The approval of the Deferment Agreement is
expressly conditioned upon the Owners’ compliance with the following
requirements:
a.Public improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the River
Acre Water System engineering standards in effect at the time of construction
and in accordance with the construction drawings. Detailed construction
drawings must be provided by the Owner for review by the City’s Development
Services Engineer.
b.No building permit for vertical structures shall be issued for all or any
portion of the real property that is subject of the Plat until the Deferred
Improvements are constructed, installed in working order, and accepted by the
River Acres Water System in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
After Staff’s presentation, Chairman Villarreal opened the floor for
Commissioner comments/questions. Discussion took place regarding the layout
of utilities in the subject area and fire protection. After comments/questions
concluded, Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing. With no one
coming forward, the public hearing was closed. A motion to approve item “2”
as presented was made by Commissioner Baugh and seconded by Vice
Chairman Crull. The motion passed.

Mr. Collins read items “3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8” into the record as shown below. Mr.
Collins stated the plats satisfy all requirements of the Unified Development
Code (UDC) and State Law; the Technical Review Committee recommends
approval. After Staff’s presentation, Chairman Villarreal opened the public
hearing. Diane LaRue at 426 Cape Lookout Drive addressed the Commission
and stated that she owns property adjacent to the subject property. She is
concerned about an increase in property taxes and the decrease in the value
of her property with the future proposed construction for item “3”. She felt that
the proposed platting will change the configuration of the neighborhood. She
said that her property is currently for sale, below market value. With no one
else coming forward, the public hearing was closed. A motion to approve
items “3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8” was made Commissioner Baugh and seconded by

9.18-1385 Public Hearing - Rezoning Property at or near 10001 and 10009
Compton Road.
Case No. 1018-04 - MVR Construction Company:
Ordinance rezoning property at or near 10001 and 10009 Compton Road
(located on the south side of Compton Road, east of Flour Bluff Drive,
and west of First National Drive) from the "RE” Residential Estate District
to the “RS-15” Single-Family 15 District.
Andrew Dimas, Development Services, read item “9” into the record as shown
above. He presented several aerial views of the subject property along with
the Existing and Future Land Use maps. He stated the purpose of the rezoning
request is to allow for the construction of single-family homes. He informed the
Commission that zero public notices were returned in favor or opposition of the
change of zoning request. He went over the zoning patterns for the
surrounding area along with the UDC requirements for the change of zoning
request. He also discussed municipal facilities that are available to the subject
property. He presented a preliminary site plan. The proposed development is a
5.269-acre tract with a proposed 11 units which is below the maximum
recommended density of 15.8 units. Staff recommends approval of the
requested change of zoning.
After Staff’s presentation, Chairman Villarreal opened the floor for
Commissioner comments/questions. Discussion took place regarding the width
of the lots and drainage right-of-way. After Commissioner comments/questions
concluded, Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing. Richard Bell at
10014 Compton Road addressed the Commission to state his opposition. He felt
that the property should remain the “RE” district because that is the aesthetic
of the neighborhood. The applicant, Victor Nazari at 4105 Rayado Creek,
addressed the Commission in support of his request. He stated the proposed
development will add value to the area as the homes to be built will be
high-end and fit the aesthetics of the nieghborhood. With no one else coming
forward the public hearing was closed. A motion to approve Staff’s
recommendation for item “9” was made by Chairman Villarreal and seconded
by Vice Chairman Crull. The motion passed with Commissioner Schroeder
voting “no”.
