The Park Place Subdivision is a single-family residential development located on the south side of Zipp Road approximately one mile east of FM 1044. The project is located primarily within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), with the exception of approximately 35 lots on the northeastern side of the property which are within New Braunfels and zoned ZH-A, Zero Lot Line Home District. The approved master plan for the Park Place Subdivision consists of a total of 9 units, 196.28-acres, and a total of 754 residential lots.

Pursuant to the City’s RTP, the approved master plan for the Park Place Subdivision specifies that right-of-way for the east-west extension of W. Zipp Road (minor collector) be constructed along the northern boundary of this unit.
Havisham Pass and a portion of Clarisse Street are designed as 60-foot-wide residential collector sections. All other streets dedicated and constructed within the subdivision and are proposed to be local streets that are 50-feet in right-of-way width. Street names have been approved by Comal County and are indicated on the plat.

This proposed plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan. No off-street trails are proposed within the vicinity of this subdivision.
Sidewalks
Four (4) foot wide sidewalks will be constructed by the developer per city standards at the time of street construction, adjacent to the curb along common area lots. Four (4) foot wide sidewalks will be constructed by the home builder per city standards adjacent to the curb at the time of building construction along all other street frontages.
Roadway Impact Fees:
