District. The proposed development will create 34 lots for single family residential use. It is intended that the houses built on the--e lots be sold at a price point commensurate with existing property valuations in the immediate vicinity and which will provide "first home" opportunities for families whose children will be attending the adjacent elementary school. Property Vicinity and 1 ()cation The property is located north of the intersection of Rockford Drive and Darcey Drive in the western section of the City of Corpus Christi_ It is a platted lot with the street address 5040 Rockford Drive. Existing and Adjoining Prooerty Land Use and Zoning The property is currently vacant and zoned for single family residentiat use under the City of Corpus Christi RS-6 Single Family Residential zoning district. The requested zoning for the proposed use is a Planned Unit Development under the RS-6 Single Family Residential zoning district regulations (RS-6 PUD). The adjoining properties north of the proposed development support single family residential use and fall within a RS-6 single family residential zoning district. The adjoining properties east of the proposed development support single family residential use and fall within a RS-6 single family residential zoning district. The adjoining property to the west of the development is used as an elementary school facility within the West Oso Independent School District and falls within a RS-6 single family residential zoning district. The adjoining properties to the south also fall within a RS-6 single family use district. Land use in this area includes the City's Westhaven Park facility to the southwest and single family residential use to the southeast. Master Plan Considerations The property is located within the boundaries of the City's Westside Area Development Plan. As the property was previously owned by the West Oso Independent School District, the Area Development plan shows its future land use as "institutional". The Area Development Plan designates the limits of Westhaven Park to the south of the property as "permanent open space". The Area Development plan shows the future use of all other surrounding properties as "medium density residential'. Now that the property has been conveyed to private Page 4 of 7 ownership, future land use designation of the property should change to "medium density residential" to match that of adjacent properties. The proposed RS-6 PUD zoning district meets the requirements and expectations of the Area Development Plan "medium density residential" designation. The proximity of the West Oso ISD elementary school to the west and Westhaven Park to the south also contribute to creating a "walkable community" environment for the proposed development. Site Plan and Lot Layout A Master Site Plan is attached to this summary which illustrates the proposed lot layout for the development, including the proposed completion of Darcey Drive. Extension of City water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure will also be included with the public improvements to be constructed as part of the development. The extension of Darcey Drive and associated utilities will meet all requirements of Article 8 of the City of Corpus Christi Unified Development Code without exceptions. Zoning Deviations Requested Deviations from the RS-6 Single Family Residential zoning requirements are as follows: 1. The minimum tot area for single family residential lots shalt be 4400 square feet. 2. The minimum tot width for single family residential lots shall be 40.0 feet. 3. The minimum street yard requirement for single family residential tots shall be 20.0 feet. No other deviations are proposed. Development Deviations Requested No deviations are proposed.
