Total acreage change The master plan proposes a 2.81 acre decrease in the residential land use, an increase of 0.46 acres in the commercial land use, a 0.74 acre increase in parks/landscaping, an increase of 1.99 acres for thoroughfares and a decrease of 0.38 acres for the proposed school site with a net change of 0. The applicant indicates the changes were made to clean up errors in the layout of the development. Residential Lots The master plan shifts 4 residential lots from Section 5 to Section 3 with the overall number of lots remaining at 1,297 lots. Neighborhood Commercial Tracts The neighborhood commercial tracts are centrally located in the development and are proposed to increase by approximately.48 acres to 3.96 acres. However, the zoning map shows the tracts to be a total of approximately 2 acres. While the master plan is not required to conform to the Zoning Map, these tracts will be required to conform with the zoning map prior to their development. Roadway Connectivity The roadway network has been revised in Sections 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. While it is intangible to measure (Master Plan Revision) Westwood Subdivision, Rev. 3 Page 2 of 3 March 21, 2016 P&Z Meeting

3 the affects of changes on a roadway network, the Westwood Design Standards have included benchmark requirements for connectivity, known as the Roadway Connectivity Index (RCI). The Roadway Connectivity Index measures the ratio of links (roadway segments) to nodes (cul-de-sacs, knuckle bends and intersections). The proposed master plan meets the 1.4 RCI as required for the Westwood Subdivision. Parkland Areas for parks decreases by approximately 0.36 acres to acres. Since the proposed parkland continues to exceed the 9.75-acre minimum requirement, Parks Board approval is not required. Recommendation Recommended Motion Given that the proposed master plan meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Westwood Development Standards, staff recommends approval subject to the condition that a note be placed on the master plan that the applicant must rezone additional land for the neighborhood commercial tracts along League City Parkway, prior to their development. Motion to approve the Westwood Master Plan, Revision #3, subject to the condition that a note be placed on the master plan requiring the commercial tracts to being in conformance with the zoning map prior to their development.
