The Workshop Meeting of the Allen Planning & Zoning Commission
was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Chairman Glass in the
office area of the Allen Municipal Annex, One Butler Circle,
Allen, Texas.
Presentation of Revised
Zoning Analysis
(Agenda Item II)
Chairman Glass presented the revised zoning analysis that had been
prepared by staff and reviewed by subcommittee at an earlier
meeting. Sections I and II are issues and questions that would
be reviewed by city staff. Section III would be for the Commiss-
ioner's use as a checklist. These and additional questions would
be included to help the Commission present their findings and
recommendations to the City Council. Pages 7 and 8 would remain
the same.
Mr. Tom Keener stated that Section I was revised and consolidated
in order for the Commission to make better comparisons between
the Plan and the application. The mathematical process in Section
II would be excluded because the subcommittee was more interested
in the final conclusions; however, staff would retain the algebraic
equations in the office for Commissioner's review if needed.
It was the consensus that question No. 3 in Section III should be
included in all three portions ... A, B, and C. Engineering questions
need to be addressed in a separate section entitled "D -Other
Considerations."
The revised analysis will appear on a future agenda to be considered
for approval by the Commission.
