unobstructed approach with a 90° turning radius, and shall be screened in conformance
with Section 3.07 of this ordinance.
2. 2F District density was discussed and should remain as is
3 MF3 District density was discussed with regard to the suggested requirement for open
space. Consensus was to maintain the 24 units per acre in MF3 and remove the open
space requirement in each MF district.
4. Off-street Loading Requirements, Section 3.04 - Staff should revise this section so as to
not exceed the requirements of the City of Plano.
5 Performance Standards, Section 3.12 - The standards for the LI and GI Districts are
sufficient; however, the HI District should be added. Reference to the Ringle Man chart

should be removed because this chart is no longer in use. Reference to TNRCC should
replace the current reference to TACB in Paragraph 2.
6. Definition of Specific Use Permit - It was determined that it would be appropriate to
include a definition of Specific Use Permit as proposed by staff. The definition should be
worded similar to the following: SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (SUP): An SUP is a zoning
designation on uses that are allowed in designated zoning districts and requires site plan
approval and a public hearing by the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City
Council. The City Council may attach terms and conditions indicating such additional
requirements and safeguards as deemed necessary to assure general conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan and protection of adjoining properties.
7 Retirement Center - It was determined that a definition be included for Retirement Center,
and the use should be allowed in MF3, CBD, and PD The definition should read similar
to the following: RETIREMENT CENTER: A retirement center is a planned community
which offers independent living, congregate care and/or assisted living with a central
services facility on site which can provide food service, personal grooming care, arts and
crafts and recreational activities. The density will be regulated by the developable area.
8. House sizes: It was determined that the house size in the R4 District should be changed
to 1600 square feet and in the R-5 District 1500 square feet. The area regulations defined
in R-6 and R-7 were reviewed and determined to be sufficient.
9 Site Plan Approval, Section 2.09, paragraph IILC,10 - remove the text "typically located
on the property line."
10. Administration Section - In order to insure that the existing Planned Developments
maintain their original district regulations, the following text should be added to Section
5.08: "The densities and development requirements existing in any Planned Development
Districts at the time of the adoption of those ordinances shall be maintained in their
original form."
11. Planned Development Site Plan Public Hearing Process - It was determined that this issue
was of sufficient importance that it is appropriate to leave the current language in tact and
discuss the issue during workshop sessions with the City Council.
12. Clarification of Upholstery Shop and whether it should require an SUP in the SC District -
The consensus was to not require a SUP even if the upholstery shop is for automobiles
since this is consistent with the regulations for other automobile uses.
The consensus of the Commission was to forward the proposed document to the Development
Subcommittee.
