REGULAR AGENDA
4. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to rezone 357.3f acres from
Planned Development-14 (PD-14) and Planned Development-43 (PD-43) to Planned
Development -Single Family/Retail/Commercial (PD-SF/R/C), located on the north side of
U.S. 380, 3,800f feet west of Dallas Parkway. (Z13-0011).
Summary
Copple: Summarized the zoning of surrounding properties and future thoroughfares in the area. In
briefing on the request to rezone, compared the number of existing residential units versus the number of
proposed residential units, retail acreage in the existing planned development (herein called the PD)
versus the proposed PD, and commercial acreage in the existing PD versus the proposed PD. Described
the location of the residential area, which has three types based on lot size, the retail area, the commercial
area, and the location of parks. Noted the fencing and architectural standards exceed the standards set
forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Explained the Future Land Use Plan's (herein called the FLUP)
recommendations for the area and why the proposed PD generally conforms to the FLUP. Listed the three
conditions of approval set by the Parks and Recreation Board as a recommendation for the Commission
and Town Council. Informed notification was provided in accordance with state law, and the Planning
Division received one public hearing notice reply form, not in opposition. Recommended approval

subject to the applicant revising the proposed PD to address the Parks and Recreation Board's
recommendation.
Discussion with Staff
Craig: Asked for clarification that, with a few exceptions, the development standards for the proposed
PD's commercial area generally follow the same standards permitted in the Town's Commercial Corridor
and Commercial Districts.
Copple: Provided confirmation regarding the development standards for the proposed PD's commercial
area, noting the main difference is the height restriction for hotel, office, and hospital uses — which is
eight stories, no greater than 100 feet — while the height standards for the remaining uses are two stories,
no greater than 40 feet.
Motioned by Carlin, seconded by Turner to open the public hearing. Motion passed 6-0 at 6:11 p.m.
Public Hearinm Discussion
Clint Richardson (applicant): Briefed on the proposal's past and recent history, noting the reduction in
commercial acreage and single family lots. Noted their progress in conforming with the FLUP. Regarding
the parks, conveyed their intent to utilize the floodplain area in the community park for sports uses,
though it will also provide traditional uses.
McClung: Asked applicant if he would accept the Parks and Recreation Board's recommendation and
revise the following in Exhibit C: 1) Add Type C single family lots to Section 1.6.3.4, 2) Delete
Recycling Collection Point in Section 2.2, and 3) Delete Recycling Center and Recycling Collection Point
in Section 3.2.
DeMattia: Asked applicant if he would remove Major Equipment and Machinery Sales and Rental and
Commercial Antenna and/or Antenna Support Structure uses from the permitted uses list for the
commercial area.
Turner: Asked about the location of single family Type C lots.
Carlin: Asked applicant what the average home sales price will be and who the builders will be.
Richardson: Responding to McClung, agreed to revise Exhibit C to reflect McClung's suggestions. With
regard to the parks, informed of discussions with staff on how to calculate the money in lieu of land, but
with intentions for the neighborhood park to function as a community park, preferred to receive park land
credit for the neighborhood park. Addressing DeMattia, agreed to remove Major Equipment and
Machinery Sales and Rental from the commercial area's permitted uses, but before agreeing to remove
the Commercial Antenna and/or Antenna Support Structure use, confirmed with staff that the Stealth
Antennas use is not included in that use. Confirmed for Turner that larger lots were spread along the
northern and eastern boundaries of Tract 2 as a concession for reducing the amount of small lots north of
Prairie Drive. Answering Carlin, estimated the average home sales price to be in excess of $400,000 and
that Coventry Homes may be one of the builders.
Copple: Informed the definition for the Stealth Antennas use differs from that of Commercial Antenna.
Motioned by Turner, seconded by Moody to close the public hearing. Motion passed 6-0 at 6:21 p.m.

Discussion
McClung: Voiced support for the request, as the applicant has worked in good faith to conform to the
FLUP, has reduced the commercial acreage, and the building standards exceed those in the Zoning
Ordinance.
Senkel: Voiced support for the request, as it conforms to the Commission's preferences for new PDs.
Noted his experience of parks being located away from floodplains; therefore, favored utilizing the
natural amenities the floodplain offers for parkland use.
Moody: Preferred large lots, but understood the proposal is a substantial improvement from the existing
zoning. Voice support.
Turner: Voiced support, as the proposed PD conforms to the FLUP.
DeMattia: Voiced support subject to the Parks and Recreation Board's recommendation, as the proposed
PD conforms to the FLUP, the existing commercial area won't immediately be built and its uses are more
restrictive than the existing PD, it generally complies with park land dedication requirements, and smaller
lots are closer to the commercial section along U.S. 380.
Motioned by McClung, seconded by Moody to approve a request to rezone 357.3f acres from Planned
Development-14 (PD-14) and Planned Development-43 (PD-43) to Planned Development -Single
Family/Retail/Commercial (PD-SF/R/C), located on the north side of U.S. 380, 3,800f feet west of Dallas
Parkway subject to the following conditions: 1) Parks and Recreation Board's recommendations, 2) add
Type C single family residential lots to Exhibit C, Section 1.6.3.4, 3) delete Recycling Collection Point in
Exhibit C, Section 2.2, and 4) delete Recycling Center and Recycling Collection Point; Antenna and/or
Antenna Support Structure, Commercial; and Equipment and Machinery Sales and Rental, Major in
