TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Lety Hernandez, Director of Community Development Services
SUBJECT: Case No. 452
Public hearing, consideration, and action regarding the request of Lyndsay A.
Thorn of Thorn Architects, applicant, representing SNB-Limited Partnership
LLC, owner, to replat the property identified as CB 4024 BLK 52 LOT 8, also
known as 1009 Townsend Ave.
DATE: October 14, 2025
SUMMARY
The applicant is seeking to replat the property into four separate properties in conjunction with
the construction of four (4) townhomes on the site.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Townsend Ave and Cambridge Oval
and is zoned Multiple-Family Dwelling District (MF-D).
POLICY ANALYSIS
Chapter 3, Zoning Code
o Sec. 3-42. - Lot area.
o Multiple-family dwelling up to thirty-five (35) feet: Nine thousand (9,000) square
feet for first four (4) units plus one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet for
each added unit.
o Sec. 3-43. - Lot width.
o One-family dwelling attached: Twenty-five (25) feet. (The required lot width of
twenty-five (25) feet is for a one-family dwelling attached unit facing the street
from which the address is derived. Units to the rear of the initial unit do not add to
the required front yard width. This does not avoid the necessity to meet other
requirements of the zoning code and other codes and ordinances.)
The proposed replat meets the minimum site requirements established in the City’s Zoning Code.
Approval of the proposed replat by CPS, SAWS, and Public Works is required in evaluation of
the potential impact on utilities.
On October 06, 2025, the Planning & Zoning Commission considered the request and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the replat as presented.
FISCAL IMPACT
No projected fiscal impact from this project has been calculated.
