STAFF REVIEW

 

The subject property is located south of W. 6th Street and west of George Williams Way. It abuts a platted subdivision to the north and east (Diamondhead Subdivision) and K-10 Highway to the west.

 

The subject property includes the extension of the local street network and provides connections to the north and south areas. Pedestrian connections are included to the undeveloped multi-family lot to the north (north side of Troubadour Place) and a connection to the K-10 recreation path from Renaissance & Palisades Drive. Streets are also stubbed to the south to allow for future connections to the abutting undeveloped area.

 

The proposed Final Plat as conditioned is in conformance with subdivision regulations and the approved Preliminary Plat. As a residential collector street, sidewalks are expected on both sides of Renaissance Drive as part of the public improvement plans.
