Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to remove Items 4, 5 and 6 from the table. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Harris. The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 6-0.
Mr. Hicks provided an overview of the items and introduced the applicant who was present to
provide information pertaining to the site layout and uses proposed on the site plan.
Mr. Shipp from Blue Star Land and Rachel Korus with Kimley Horn answered questions of the
Commission. Mr. Shipp explained that this site is a vacant area between two developments, and
it was determined to construct this site without having particular tenants. Mr. Shipp mentioned
that here has been interest from banks and retail users. Ms. Korus presented a simplified site
plan to better show the layout and traffic flow on the site.
Commissioner Blanscet discussed with the applicant the drive -through locations, stopping points,
grade changes, and the proposed pass -through lane between Preston Road and Craig Road.
Mr. Shipp stated that if a user does not need the drive -through, it could be closed off or taken out.
He indicated that the use of the building to the left on the site plan would not be for food, unless
a Specific Use Permit were approved.
Chairman Daniel asked about the possibility of eliminating the drive -through. Commissioners
Carson and Furay had a discussion with the applicant and staff about the operation of the drive -
through and canopy or service location with an opposite flow of traffic. Commissioner Carson
asked if the parking requirements for a restaurant had been considered for the building to the right
on the site plan. Staff confirmed that it had been.
Commissioner Blanscet made a motion to approve Items 4, 5 and 6. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Furay. The motion was approved by a vote of 4-2 with Commissioner Carson
and Commissioner Hamilton in opposition.

acres, located on the north side of Richland Boulevard and 680± feet east of La Cima
Boulevard. (ZONE-24-0018)
Mr. Hill presented this case and answered questions from the Commissioners.
Mr. Tristan Poore, with Spiars Engineering, spoke on behalf of the Developer and provided
information about the proposed zoning case. Mr. Poore answered the Commissioners' questions
regarding the proposal.
Chair Daniel opened the public hearing.
Sherell Conde, 1911 Cypress Lake Lane, spoke in opposition to this item stating that it would lead
to a loss of economic benefits, increased traffic and infrastructure strain, its incompatibility with
surrounding development and community needs, and precedent for future unchecked
development.
Bradley Hampton, 1140 Amistad Drive, spoke in opposition to this item indicating that the
neighborhood needed non-residential services that would benefit this area, and that the
development is very dense and has an incompatible height and scale compared to the residential
homes.
Cad Alvarez, 1150 Amistad Drive, spoke in opposition to this item referencing that offices and
non-residential would have less impact due to hours of operation. Ms. Alvarez expressed she
believed the proposal to be like a multifamily development. Ms. Alvarez also indicated that many
Page 2 of 3
of the residents heard about the proposal from the Homeowners' Association the day of the
meeting.
Vanessa Manley, 1440 Amistad Drive, spoke in opposition to this item concerning the potential
increase in crime and the potential impact on the safety of the area.
Chair Daniel closed the public hearing.
The Commissioners discussed the project and raised concerns regarding the reduction of the
Town's typical Townhome development standards, the proximity of townhomes siding to the
adjacent residential subdivision, unusable open space, the building materials on the fagade, the
height and size of the townhomes, lack of adequate parking, and traffic. The Commissioners
expressed that they wished the developer was present at the meeting and would have reached
out to the adjacent residents prior to the meeting. Additionally, the Commissioners expressed
their appreciation for the residents who attended the meeting and voiced their opinion.
Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to deny Item 7. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Harris. The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 6-0.
8. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.

Council and Planning & Zoning Commission consideration. The Commissioners and Staff
discussed plans for future work sessions and the review of the Unified Development Code.
