BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNERS: Drew & Joanna Johnson
APPLICANT: Simmons Estate Homes
PROPERTY SITUATION: 921 S. White Chapel Boulevard
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tracts 5C1 & 5D, H. Granberry Survey, Abstract No. 581
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential with a Rural Conservation Land Use Designation
Overlay Option
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District
REQUESTED ZONING: “RE” Single Family Residential Estate District
HISTORY: There is no development history on this property.
TRANSPORTATION
Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan
ASSESSMENT:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends S. White Chapel Boulevard to be a
2-lane, undivided arterial roadway with 88 feet of right-of-way adjacent to this
site. Adequate right-of-way dedication will be required with the plat showing.
Street typology designation for S. White Chapel Boulevard is a ‘boulevard’.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The lot has direct access onto S. White Chapel Boulevard.
Currently, S. White Chapel Boulevard is a 2-lane, undivided roadway. The
capacity of the existing roadway is approximately 8,400 vehicle trips per day.
Under this condition, the roadway would be considered to operate under a level
of service ‘D’. Completion of this development will add approximately 10
vehicle trips per day to this section of S. White Chapel Boulevard, bringing it to
8,139 vehicle trips per day.

PATHWAYS
MASTER PLAN: The Pathways Plan does not call for a sidewalk or trail adjacent to this property
(the Plan calls for a sidewalk on the west side of White Chapel Boulevard).
Since this is a single residential lot that is over 1500-feet from a public or
private school, a sidewalk is not required.
WATER & SEWER: There is an existing 12” water line along the west side of White Chapel to serve
this property. There is an existing sanitary sewer that was extended to the
property line of the Timarron subdivision to serve this lot and the lots to the
north.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: Drainage from this site is generally to the south.
P&Z ACTION: May 3, 2007; Approved (5-0) subject to the staff report as presented.
STAFF COMMENTS: No plan is required to be submitted with a request for “RE” Single Family
Residential Estate zoning. However, a single-lot plat showing has been
submitted for administrative review and has been included in Attachment C,
Page 1 of this report.
The proposed lot width (200.22-feet) is less than the 300-foot lot width
minimum allowed in the “RE” zoning district. On April 26, 2007, the Zoning
Board of Adjustment approved a variance request for a lot width of less than
the 300-feet required.
