26-022 — Residential subdivision in Galveston, TX
This preliminary plat request proposes an 11.4-acre residential subdivision in R-1 zoning east and west of South Sonny Lane, which will require reconfiguring the existing street to connect to Stewart Road. The project includes proposed blocks and lot configurations that exceed some subdivision standards, including maximum block length and double-frontage lots, but staff recommends approval with conditions related to infrastructure, easements, open space maintenance, and design compliance.
