MEMORANDUM
FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: October 1, 2026
SUBJECT: PLAT26-0119 Consideration of a request from Neel-Schaffer Inc. for
a preliminary plat of Smithfield Terrace, being 7.494 acres located
at 6821 Smithfield Road.
PRESENTER: Cori Reaume, Director of Planning
SUMMARY:
On behalf of multiple owners and Sandlin Homes LLC (developer), Neel-Schaffer Inc. is
requesting approval of a preliminary plat of Smithfield Terrace. The 7.494-acre site is
located in the 6800 block of Smithfield Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property is generally located on the west side of Smithfield Road between Cortland
Drive and Odell Street. The site includes several parcels of land extending between
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street. It is partially developed with single-family residences
and commercial property and includes vacant tracts as well. The property is zoned RI-PD
(Residential Infill Planned Development), which was approved by City Council on August
10, 2026 (Ordinance 3969).
The proposed development includes 33 single-family residential lots and one new street
that connects Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street. The lot sizes range from 7,000 to 12,030
square feet, with an average lot size of 8,109 square feet. The typical lot is 50 to 60 feet
wide and 120 feet deep, with the 50-foot wide lots located on the east side of the
development nearer to Smithfield Road. The density is 4.4 dwelling units per acre.
Access to the development is from Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street. A new street,
Terrace Drive, would be constructed between the two roads, similar to Cortland Drive
immediately south of the project. Lots would be located on both sides of the new street.
The project incorporates approximately 7,818 square feet (0.179 acres) of open space,
which makes up 2.4% of the site. The four open space lots would be located adjacent to
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street and provide areas for landscaped entries and signage.
The developer indicates that masonry screening walls would be constructed along
Smithfield Road and Hewitt Street.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned RI-PD (Residential Infill Planned
Development), which was approved by City Council on August 10, 2026 (Ordinance
3969).

DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The following comments represent suggested modifications to the plat drawing based on general NRH
design principles and standard practices in city planning. While conformance to these principles is not
required by the subdivision regulations,the applicant is encouraged to include these modifications as part
of the revised plat.
1. Add the City case number near the bottom right corner of the drawings (Case PLAT26-0119).
2. Prior to submitting the final plat application, public infrastructure plans must be submitted for
review to the city engineer. A final plat application cannot be accepted until final construction
plans are approved.
3. Since the owner of Lot 1 Block 1 Miranda Addition is part of the plat and zoning application,
consider including this lot as part of the preliminary and final plat.The proposed plat would leave
a remainder portion of the lot, and the owner may have to replat in the future depending on any
proposed construction.
