MARCH 14, 1985 Recommendation Comprehensive Plan 1985 (Agenda Item No. VIII) Chairman Glass read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Consider action on the recommendation of the adoption of the City of Allen, Comprehensive Plan for 1985." Jon McCarty, City Manager, presented the agenda item. He passed out the suggestions that were brought up at the two public hearings. Jon requested a reply to submit to the City Council. He separated the comments into three categories. The first category, in Mr. McCarty's opinion, had already been addressed successfully at the public hearings. He felt no further comments were needed. The second category was informational items that staff will take forward to the City Council. The final category, being the third, are those items that Mr. McCarty feels that the Commission should address. The two items which fall in this category were Kitty Hawk and the Buckingham Polo Estates. The Commission had no additional comments to add to the response to the residents of Buckingham Polo Estates. The Commission shared the concern with Mr. Rushing, of Kitty Hawk, concerning the designation of the airport on the land use map. Commissioner Pennington stated that the airport could be put on the proposed land use map, and taken off later if the airport no longer exists. Chairman Glass suggested showing the airport on an existing land use map. Bill Petty stated that the development is addressed in a number of documents. Commissioner Braun made a motion to designate the airport on the proposed future land use map. The motion failed for a lack of a second Commissioner Wilson stated that there should be some additional wording in the existing and committed land use. Certain existing land uses should not be included in the future land use plan, but should be recognized by future development. Mr. Petty stated that this is covered in the present Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. C ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 14, 1985 Recommendation PAGE 7 Comprehensive Plan 1985 (Cont.)
