Carol Bruse, Senior Pastor of West University Methodist Church presented the initial request. She explained they are requesting the replat to be approved in order to relocate the property line to create a large building site and a small residential single-family lot. The property fronting Mercer Street would be sold and have a house built on it. The other section would become part of 3611 University Blvd and will be used as green scape. Staff did not receive any correspondence in favor or against the application. Citizens speaking against the application were: Kenneth Brooks; 6325 Mercer(future development), Brandy Wolf; 3515 University(parking/driveway area) and Dale Johnson; 6344 Mercer(parking requirements). Citizen speaking for the application was: Mario Colina; Probstfeld&Associates. Citizen speaking not for or against the application was: Alida Drewes; 6112 Fordham. Debbie Scarcella gave staff's presentation. The property is in a Single-Family Detached 1 (SFD-1) zoning district at the southwest corner of University Boulevard and Mercer Street. Although the property is zoned SFD-1, the site called 3611 University Boulevard, houses the Methodist Church buildings, which include the sanctuary, offices, day school and a parking lot. A special exception for church and parking use was granted in the 'TOP WORK PLACES 3800 University Boulevard West University Place, TX 77005 www.westutx.gov The City of West University Place A Neighborhood City forties by City Council and a special exception authorizing those uses and related ancillary uses was authorized by the ZBA in 2004. At the same time, a variance was granted to allow reduced setbacks for the existing structures and a proposed addition that was subsequently not built. A few years ago, the property located at 6330 Mercer Street was purchased by the church board of trustees. A replat was approved by the ZPC in 2013 for the back portion of 6330 Mercer Street to become part of the larger church tract and the front portion to remain a lot for use as a single family residential building site. The church is using the rear portion as a play yard of sorts for the day school housed on site. A second lot at 6338 Mercer Street was purchased in 2016 and a replat is being sought to add the rear portion to the larger church building site(Lot 1) leaving the front residential 50' x 150.25 lot(Lot2) for possible future single family purposes. The property owner has indicated the desire to obtain preliminary and final approval of this replat. Chapter 74 of the Code of Ordinance and the Texas Local Government Code Section 212 sets out the minimum technical requirements for preliminary and final plat approval. The proposed plat meets those technical requirements. The plat has been reviewed by staff, the Public Works Director and a third party reviewer. There are no increases in the number of lots or city services. The Public Works Director does not require any additional easements. These types of lot combinations are generally allowed through a building site designation affidavit filed in accordance with the zoning regulations. Staff required a replat of this property because of the relocated property line between the properties located on Mercer Street. The Public Works Director elected to obtain approval from the Zoning and Planning Commission and hold a public hearing to solicit any public comment regarding this replat. Staff recommends preliminary and final approval of the replat. Mimi Tsai moved to close the public hearing and incorporate all testimony into the records of the hearing. Seconded by David Kuykendall.
