Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Bannister Engineering for a Final Plat of Lots 1X through 29, Block 1, Benson Manors being 3.57 acres located at 708 East Broad St. (SD#26-028)

Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The subject property is approximately 3.57 acres addressed at 708 East Broad Street. The property is currently zoned D, Downtown District. A site plan for this property was approved on August 1, 2025, for 24 townhome lots, two mixed-use lots, and three open space lots. The final plat substantially complies with the approved site plan. Staff Analysis This request is for approval of a final plat. A final plat is the subdivision document that creates the individual lots, rights-of-way, easements, and open space lots needed for the project to proceed in accordance with the approved zoning and preliminary plat. This item is not a request to change the zoning, land use, or development standards previously approved for the property. The Development Review Committee reviewed the final plat and provided written conditions that must be addressed before the plat may be filed of record. The conditions are shown in Exhibit A. Next Steps If the Planning and Zoning Commission approves the final plat with conditions, the applicant must revise the plat to address the written conditions provided by the Development Review Committee. Staff will review the revised plat for compliance before it is released for signatures and filing with Tarrant County. Once the plat is filed, the lots and easements shown on the plat will be legally established. Approval of the final plat does not authorize building construction by itself. Building permits, civil construction, infrastructure installation, inspections, and any required acceptance of public improvements must proceed through the City’s normal review and permitting processes. Building permits must comply with the Mansfield Code of Ordinances, and all applicable engineering, building, fire, utility, and development requirements.
