1982 (Emergency Agenda Item)
Chairman Pendleton read the agenda item into the record as
follows:
"Discussion item - Joint City Council and Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting of November 1, 1982."
The Commission discussed the Joint Meeting at some length.
Some of the items discussed during this meeting include what a
Comprehensive Plan is; whether a new Comprehensive Plan is needed;
what criteria to use in considering new developments that may
come into the City of Allen; Generally how the city should develop
in the future; ranch estates; and the policy statements as presented
by the City Council.
The Commission recommended the following percentages for
development of single family dwellings to be considered at the next
Joint Workshop Session with the City Council as based on the report
concerning the 855* acre development request by Willard McDaniel, Inc.
It was the concensus of the Commission that the percentages should
read as follows:
Greater than 2000 Sq. Ft. 10%
Between 1,800 Sq. Ft. and 2,000 Sq. Ft. 20%
Between 1,600 Sq. Ft. and 1,800 Sq. Ft. 15%
Between 1,400 Sq. Ft. and 1,600 Sq. Ft. 15%
Between 1,200 Sq. Ft. and 1,400 Sq. Ft. 25%
Less than 1,200 Sq. Ft. (Including
Apartments, Townhouses, etc.) 15%
It was also the concensus of the Commission that there is no
need for Ranch Estate zoning in the City of Allen because of a
concern that design standards may be compromised.
It was pointed out that with the above exceptions the Commission
generally agreed with the other policy statements as put forth by
the City Council
No action was taken on this item.
