STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
Planning:
1. Staff supports the variance request, provided that traffic calming devices are installed at street segments of 450 to 650 feet with minimum number of speed tables as per Section 3-2 N. 3 of the Subdivision. Should the variance not be granted, revise the street and block layout to comply with Section 3-2 N. 2. and Section 3-2 N. 1. of the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. The proposed subdivision does not comply with the Future Thoroughfare Plan in that St. Luke Boulevard is to extend as a collector in a southerly direction followed by a westerly connection towards Ejido Avenue. Revise accordingly.
3. The westernmost entrance of Phase I (Street F) creates a street jog with the westernmost entrance of Phase II (Street A). Revise the layout accordingly.
4. Provide street names.
5. Provide lot dimensions for all lots.
6. Provide a Lot Summary Table.
7. Provide a scale on the vicinity map and ensure the scale is 1” = 2000’.

11. Identify the purpose of the line running in a north-south direction traversing Block 16.
12. Label Lot 13, Block 8 to reference Plat Note 12, identifying it as a drainage easement and unbuildable.

14. The subdivision identifies TDB World Industrial Park, LLC as the owner within the title block. Update the owner/developer as TDB Land Holdings, Ltd as per the application and deed.
