City of West University Place
Zoning and Planning Commission Meeting
DATE: September 10, 2020
Agenda Topic: Through lots and rear setbacks.
SUMMARY: City Council has requested the Planning and Zoning and Planning Commission to
examine through lots on major thoroughfares. The City f West University Place has a few lots
that have double frontages on major Thoroughfo
areitho.roughfares. These lots have typically
been developed with a rear-yard setback on the frontage facing the major thoroughfare. This item
is largely to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow any already occurring development pattern for
double frontage roads on Major major Thoroughfares thoroughfares (See Exhibit 1 & 2). This
proposed modification does not address through lots not on thoroughfares,,in order to allow for a
more consistent frontage.

PROPOSED REDLINE:
Note 1. Through Lots or Building Sites or Rear Through Lots or Building Sites. If a lot or building site
extends all the way through a block so that the front and rear both abut a street area,there is no rear yard.
The site is a "through" or "rear through" lot or building site, and is considered to have two front yards,
one at each street frontage. Front yard(setbacks)shall be as provided in Table 7-2. Exceptions: If the site
is"flag" shaped or irregular,the"flag"portion shall have the same setback as the adjoining building sites
fronting that street. Through-lots on r major Thoroughfares thoroughfares are permitted to have only
one front yard located on the local street or minor street.
Staff Recommendation: Consider recommending approval of this proposed amendment.
