REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 2/23/2026 <br />Item No.: 7.c. <br />Department ApprovalCity Manager Approval <br />Item Description:Hold a public hearing and consider a request to approve a minor plat (PF26- <br />002) <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 General Application and Site Information <br />4 Property Owner and Applicant: Cara Builders, LLC <br />5 Location: northwest corner of Brenner Avenue and Chatsworth Street <br />6 Application Submitted: December 30, 2025 <br />7 Application Complete: January 2, 2026 <br />8 City Action Deadline: May 2, 2026 <br />9 <br />Land <br />Use Existing Land UseGuidingZoning <br />Context <br />SitevacantLRLDR <br />Northdetached dwellingsLRLDR <br />Westdetached dwellingsLRLDR <br />Eastdetached dwellingsLRLDR <br />Southdetached dwellingsLRLDR <br />10 The subject site is approximately 22,000 square feet in size, and the proposed Brenner Villas plat would <br />11 create two nearly identical lots, both measuring about 108 feet in width, 100 feet in depth, and just under <br />12 11,000 square feet. Plans submitted in support of the proposal are included with this RCA in Attachment <br />13 3. Subdivision proposals resulting in three or fewer lots are considered minor plats, requiring the City <br />14 Council to hold the public hearing (unlike a major plat that requires the Planning Commission to hold the <br />15 public hearing). <br />16 <br />17 Legislative Authority <br />18 When considering subdivision requests, the role of the City is quasi-judicial; to determine the facts <br />19 associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards contained in the <br />20 ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the application meets the relevant legal <br />21 standards and will not compromise the public health, safety, and general welfare, then the applicant is <br />22 likely entitled to approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to a subdivision approval to <br />23 ensure that potential impacts on parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on <br />24 and around the subject property are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be modified to <br />25 promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to provide for the orderly, economic, and <br />26 safe development of land, and to promote housing affordability for all levels. <br />27 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />Qbhf!45!pg!2:7 <br /> <br />
