(Agenda Item VI)
Mr. Petty indicated that staff has noted a clerical error in the recently adopted Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance regarding building materials. It appears that the text allowing metal buildings
in the commercial and industrial districts was accidentally eliminated. Mr. Petry has clarified with
the City Council that it was their intention that this text remain in tact when the heavy timber text
for restaurants was changed. Mr. Petty questioned whether this was the intention of the
Commission as well.
It was the consensus of the Commission that this was their intention and staff was requested
to correct the clerical error in the published document.

Center Addition to the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas; further described as being located at
the northwest comer of Allen Heights and F.M. 2170."
Mr. Tom Keener presented the plat to the Commission The purpose of this plat is to separate the property
into two lots for construction of the recently approved Texaco Service Station and convenience store. The
Technical Review Committee has reviewed the plat, and staff recommends approval.
The Commission discussed the possible need for a cross -access easement between the two lots, and Mr.
Keener agreed that this would be appropriate. The Commission further discussed the parking requirements
within the shopping center since the site plan recently approved included shared parking with the center.
The Commission further discussed the possible need for reconsidering the parking requirements within a
shopping center when uses change, such as multiple restaurants
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Heller and a second by Commissioner Kelley, the
Commission voted 5 For and 0 OPPOSED to table this plat until a cross -access easement
