A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY GOVERNING VEHICULAR
CROSS-ACCESS BETWEEN SUBDIVISIONS; PROVIDING FOR A
FUTURE AMENDMENT OF THE COLLEYVILLE LAND DEVELOPMENT
CODE TO CODIFY THE FOREGOING POLICY; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, the Colleyville Comprehensive Plan identifies the preservation of
high-quality, low density residential neighborhoods is essential
to preserve the unique character of Colleyville; and
WHEREAS, the vast majority of residential subdivisions within the City of
Colleyville ("City") were designed and developed as independent
neighborhoods over time and not as a part of a master planned
community; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan further identifies arterial streets as the
primary means of vehicular access to and from neighborhoods
and the need for strategic regulation of vehicular traffic
traveling through neighborhoods so as to provide minimal
disruption to the unique character and safety of each
neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the Land Development Code does not
currently contain adequate regulations governing vehicular
cross-access between subdivisions, particularly with regard to
platted lots that have public street frontage within two or more
independently platted subdivisions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby desires to adopt a policy prohibiting
vehicular cross-access between platted subdivisions, including
prohibiting driveway access on platted lots having street
frontage within two or more subdivisions, until such time as the
City Council amends the Colleyville Land Development Code to
codify regulations governing the same; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the following action is in the best
interests of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of
Colleyville as well as the general public.
