Items for Individual Consideration:
REGULAR AGENDA:
1. Discuss agenda items on the August 20, 2024, Planning & Zoning Commission
agenda.
Mr. Hoover answered questions pertaining to the multifamily amendment proposal and how it
differed from the previous amendment, which had been considered by the Commission in
November 2023 and was tabled indefinitely by the Town Council in January of 2024.
Discussion Item #1 (Changes from Previous Amendment)
There was discussion regarding the removal of a specific density requirement and language
pertaining to approved Planned Developments with multifamily entitlements that did not
provide a specific number of allowed units. The proposed languages states that for any
Planned Development District approved by the Town prior to the adoption of this Ordinance,
and for which there is no number of multifamily units stated therein, then the permitted number
of multifamily units is the number of multifamily units authorized by the Town's Zoning
Ordinance on the date of adoption of said Planned Development District.
Discussion Item #2 (Differences from Zoning Odinance)
There was discussion regarding the allowance of multifamily developments only in the areas
designated for that use in the Comprehensive Plan, compliance with the Dallas North Tollway
Design Guidelines, increasing the maximum height from three stories (50 feet) to eight stories
(110 feet), establishing a building configuration for multifamily structures that requires a wrap-
around configuration with a central garage surrounded by the residential units, and the
removal of multifamily design and development standards since that criteria will be addressed
in the Planned Development standards.

Discussion Item #3 (Enforcement of Regulations vs. Existing Entitlements)
Jeremy Page discussed that new standards can be enforced for properties that have existing
multifamily entitlements with nothing currently constructed; however, multifamily projects
currently in review or with building permits issued would be grandfathered under the previous
regulations.
Discussion Item #4 (Multifamily in Planned Developments)
There was discussion regarding the requirement of a Planned Development for any
multifamily project. Where the Planned Development was silent regarding certain standards,
the development would have to comply with the regulations of Zoning Ordinance.
Discussion Item #5 (Garages)
There was discussion regarding the proposal to wrap garages and provide cladding to match
the attached multifamily units. Additionally, if the building was between five to eight stories
and constructed so that the garage was the base of the building, it would need to be cladded.
Adjourn.
The worklesdiop was adjourned at 5:58 p.m.
