district boundaries, and the proposed land use plan. Other

The City Council's discussion covered the following topics:
1. Distribution of development in the City of Allen
as it pertains to the east and west sides of the
city, including costs of development, the economic
situations existing today, and various types of
housing.

negotiation of the planned development districts
with the developers by the City and the final
site plan approval.

i zoning and using those types of items to insure

5. The use of density and the need to establish the
densities for each existing planning district in
the City.
