If an owner of any tract of land in the City of Windcrest, Texas, desires to develop the property as a residential community unit that does not conform in all respects to the district regulations of the district in which the property is located, then in conjunction with the submission of a preliminary plat in accordance with chapter 111 of the Code, the owner shall submit to the city planning and zoning commission for its study and report, a community unit plan, specifically detailing therein how the plan meets the requirements of this subchapter.

(Ord. No. 189, 12-08-1986)

The recommendations and report by the planning and zoning commission shall contain specific evidence and facts showing whether or not the proposed project meets the following conditions:

(a)

The property adjacent to the area included in the plan will not be adversely affected. In this regard traffic and property values will be considered.

(b)

The plan is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Subchapter to promote public health, safety, morals, and general welfare.

(c)

The buildings will be used only for purposes provided for in "R-1" and "R-2" districts.

(d)

The area of the tract is to be of sufficient size to permit effective common or coordinated planning with respect to street design, building placement and grouping of green or open spaces, as distinguished from conventional, unrelated, single lot development. In the absence of special factors, any tract considered for community unit planning should be large enough to avoid creating an unreasonable number of widely diversified areas of residential development within the city or any portion thereof.

(e)

If the city council approves the plan in conjunction with the platting process set forth in chapter 111, building permits may be issued even though the use of the land, the location of the buildings to be erected, and the yards and open spaces contemplated by the plan do not conform in all respects to the district regulations of the district in which it is located.
