OR09-2025 — Combine two lots and construct a detached garage on the property at 1708 Shawnee Drive in Cleburne, TX
This is a minor replat combining two lots (0.624 acres) at 1708 Shawnee Drive and 501 N. Nolan River Road into a single RC-zoned commercial lot, with the applicant seeking a variance from the required additional right-of-way dedication along N. Nolan River Road (a minor arterial requiring 105 ft ROW). Staff does NOT support the ROW variance and instead recommends a joint ROW use agreement, which would allow interim continued use of the existing parking lot but preserve the City's ability to expand the roadway in the future. Developers should note the unresolved ROW dedication issue, as future roadway improvements could eliminate more than half of the site's parking and materially impair commercial use.
