Survey, Abstract No. 990, Collin County, City of Allen, Texas; located at
700 Rivercrest Blvd.
Ms. Bailey presented the request to the Commission. She stated that the request is for an
existing use that is currently a nonconforming use. There are no changes to the development
requested. The zoning change is strictly "housekeeping."
Chairman Wendland opened the public hearing.
Mr. Robert Reeves spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Reeves represented the applicant and
provided a brief history of the project. The Harvest of Collin County purchased the property last
summer. At that time, they realized the development had not been zoned for CF Community
Facilities, nor had the development been platted. They approached the City and asked for the
zoning change and to plat the property
Chairman Wendland also read into the record a response that was received prior to the meeting.
Ms. Denise Sharp of 709 Rivercrest indicated support for the project.
The Commissioners had no questions, and agreed the request met all requirements provided in
the Allen Land Development Code

worked with the adjacent property owner to coordinate the placement of median openings and
driveways.
Commissioner Rushing stated he had some concern with the amount of retail in one location.
Commissioner Cocking stated that buildings 13 — 17 caused him some concern. With the 1 acre
lots, he felt there was no cohesiveness. Commissioner Shaffer had some concern with the
number of curb cuts off U.S. Highway 75. All of the comments were for informational purposes
to be addressed as the future development on the site was finalized.
