SUMMARY: This agenda item is for the Zoning and Planning Commission to enter its final report to City Council for the first reading of this proposed ordinance amendment. The City Attorney has provided slight modifications to the original redline for this item for clarification purposes,which has been included as an attachment in this packet. The City of West University has several areas that have residential homes that are considered through lots.A through lot has two street frontages, which by the City's Ordinance requires two front-yards. This rule is primarily to ensure consistent building setbacks, and fence lines (See Exhibit A). This item is to provide relief for through lots that the strict enforcement of two front yards that does not serve the City or the property owners.

Through lots on Bissonnet and Bellaire Boulevard: The proposed amendment modifies the list of exemptions lots on these major corridors that are on blocks that are one lot in depth. These properties are already orientated this way, and have front yards located on the local street. Approval of the proposed amendment would no longer classify these lots as through lots, and these properties would have a defined front-yard and rear yard. 2. Through lots on Auden Street: This amendment would exempt properties on Auden Street that have a rear-yard on a dead-end street. This would allow the rear-yards to operate as most of these properties have been with the rear-yard oriented to the dead-end street. This does not include parcels that have a flag type through lot, as the intent would be for this lot to have two front yards on the street frontages. Staff Recommendation: Provide a final report for City Council for adoption of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance for through-lots and rear setbacks. Attachments: 1.
