The area specifically included in the preliminary plat is all the land on the <br /> east side of Old Highway 8 NW, north of I-694, west of I-35W, and south of 14th Street NW. <br /> The land would be assembled into four separate outlots and approximately 5.6 acres would be <br /> dedicated for roadway purposes. <br /> The Planning Commission is being asked to consider the preliminary plat at this time in an effort <br /> to clear title and assemble land in preparation for future development. Final plat consideration <br /> will follow preliminary plat approval, where the lots will legally be created into four outlots. <br /> Once development opportunities arise within this area of the Northwest Quadrant, interested <br /> developers will process a final plat and"carve" off the portion of land that they would develop. <br /> Preliminary plat approval is an important step to clearing title and is occurring in conjunction <br /> with a title registration process(which is s separate County action). <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> A—Resolution Approving the Preliminary Plat <br /> B—Project Location Map <br /> C—Zoning Map <br /> D—Aerial Photo Map <br /> E—Neighborhood Notification Map <br /> F—Certificate of Survey(3 pages) <br /> G—Preliminary Plat(2 pages) <br /> FINDINGS <br /> Section 26-32: Data Necessary for Preliminary Plat. <br /> Section 36-33: Qualification Governing Approval of Preliminary Plat. <br /> SITE CHARACTERISTICS <br /> Location: Northwest Quadrant(east side of Old Highway 8 NW) <br /> Lot Size: Preliminary Plat=45.45 acres <br /> Topography: Varies <br /> Comprehensive Plan Designation: City Center—Mixed Use <br /> Zoning: NWQ,Northwest Quadrant <br /> Surrounding Land Uses: <br /> North: AAA Cooper Trucking Terminal <br /> South: I-694 <br /> East: I-35W <br /> West: Old Highway 8 NW <br /> PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS <br /> Section 26-32 establishes the data necessary for preliminary plat submittal and the procedures <br /> under which the City shall review the plat.
