VIII. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 22-01 — 1514 Britain Street:
Consider taking action on a conditional use to allow for the development of
a two-family home in a Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning district.
Applicant/Owner: Morris Stone
Location: 1514 Britain Street
*It is noted Vice Chair Woodward stated Staff would be presenting the next 3
identical cases together. Motions, questions and votes would be made for each
individual case after the staff presentation.
Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case and stated staff was presenting multiple
petitions from Mr. Morris Stone who is the property owner and applicant of all 3
properties. Mr. Stone met with staff regarding the developmental guidelines for all
3 identical properties having two-family developments on each of the 3 properties.
Mr. Medellin advised a two-family dwelling was essentially the same as a duplex,
Planning and Zoning 3 January 12, 2022
only the two-family dwelling units are not adjacent to each other. The units will not
share a party wall but will have adjoining carports for the vehicles.
The subject properties are all located in the central area of Wichita Falls, near
Zundy Elementary and Wichita Falls High School. All 3 properties are within the
same zoning district of Single Family-2 and all are surrounded by residential uses.
The property on Britain Street is completely surrounded by residential uses, the
property on Polk Street does have Zundy Elementary across the street (Avenue G)
and the Fillmore property has Zundy Elementary to the east as well as a few
commercial uses to the rear of the property along Kemp Boulevard.
Mr. Stone's proposal is for two, one bedroom, one bath units each one totaling 432
sf. for a combined total of 864 sf. for both units. The layouts of the units show they
would meet development guidelines and set back requirements of 25 ft. along the
frontage as well as 15 ft. along the side.
All properties are vacant lots ready for development. Mr. Medellin stated 1514
Britain Street was surrounded by single family uses in a Single Family-2 zoning
district. The subject property, 1800 Fillmore, is primarily surrounded by residential
uses, however, there are some abutting Commercial Corridor (CC) districts to the
rear, as well as some commercial uses along Kemp Boulevard and Zundy
Elementary to the northeast. The 3rd property located at 1614 Polk Street is
surrounded by residences as well as Zundy Elementary across the side street.
Mr. Medellin advised staff had notified all property owners within 200 ft. of each of
the three petitions. The Britain property had 36 notified properties with 1 response
in favor. It is also noted there was one other duplex located in the immediate area,
but outside of the 200 ft, notification zone. For the Fillmore property, there was one
fourplex and two duplexes within 200 ft. of the property. Staff notified 21 property
owners and received one response in favor. The Polk Street property had one
duplex within the 200 ft. notification area. Staff notified 20 property owners and
received one response in favor of the petition.
With all potential impacts taken into consideration, staff recommends the approval
of the proposed duplexes at 1514 Britain Street, 1800 Fillmore Street & 1614 Polk
Street subject to the following conditions:
A. A total of 4 parking stalls be provided meeting the design standards of
Section 6200 — Off Street Parking Regulations.
B. Prior to the issuance of a building permit the property must be platted.
C. The development shall comply with all applicable building code
regulations, permitting, and inspections.
