Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/40088/2-11-20_P_Z_Work_Session_Agenda.pdf
The purpose of this work session is to discuss potential changes to the make up of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee, which was discussed at the Council work session last week. The short of it, involves appointing the P&Z Commission to that board, along with a few added positions.
This meeting will not be live-streamed by the City, but it is open to the public.
=================================
6:15 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/40089/2-11-20_P_Z_Briefing_Agenda.pdf
This informal meeting is to discuss items for the 7:00 PM Regular Meeting. It will also not be live-streamed by the City, but I highly encourage anyone able to attend, to do so, because there is often a lot of back and forth discussion regarding the meeting agenda items.
=================================
7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/40090/2-11-20_P_Z_Agenda_Packet.pdf
14 & 15 - Public hearing for a specific use permit (SUP) for a Mc Donald's Restaurant/Drive Thru at FM 66 and Interstate 35E
***16 & 17 - Highly contested case for Zoning Change from Planned Development Commercial to Planned Development Multi-Family 2, located at the SE corner of Bessie Coleman at Highway 77. The proposed use is a 275 unit apartment complex consisting of 1 & 2 bedroom apartments. While staff does have some concerns and has certain stipulations, which you can view in the above agenda packet, staff is currently recommending approval UNLESS, the applicant doesn't receive approval from Texas Power & Light Electric company by February 11th to create a landscape buffer within the easement, adjacent to Country Meadows Phase 1.
I have a great deal of concern about this property creating more traffic flow on 77, especially in an area that has a high amount of congestion. ***
