The Sunnyvale Planning and Zoning Commission convened on June 18, 2025, to discuss significant developments in the Saint James Park area, focusing on the approval of a preliminary and final plat for two residential lots.

The meeting began with a proposal for a preliminary plat concerning Lot 1 Block A and Lot 10R Block B in Saint James Park, covering a total of 9.942 acres located at 636 East Tripp Road and 657 Saint James Alley. The property is zoned for single-family residential use (SF1). The owners aim to plat an unplatted tract of land to enlarge an existing lot, facilitating the construction of a new home on the St. James Alley property while planning to sell the northern lot.

The commission reviewed the proposed changes, noting that the new lot lines would be clearly defined, with the original lot line marked in gray and the new line in turquoise. The staff recommended approval, emphasizing that the plat meets all necessary requirements.

Following the preliminary discussion, the commission moved to a public hearing regarding the final plat and residential replat for the same properties. This step is crucial as it formalizes the changes with the county. The staff explained that the residential replat process involves notifying nearby property owners, which was done effectively, ensuring community awareness.

After a brief discussion, the commission unanimously approved both the preliminary and final plats, marking a significant step in the development of the Saint James Park area. The approval reflects the town's commitment to orderly growth and adherence to zoning regulations, paving the way for future residential development in the community.
