Ogden "Be" Bass, Director of Community Development, presented to the Commission. The property is
located south of Stacy Road and west of E. Kittyhawk Drive. The current zoning is Agriculture -Open
Space AO. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning to Single Family Residential R-5
Kittvhawk Estates Lot 2 is not a part of this zoning change at this time; however this property can be
rezoned in the future.
Mr. Bass stated that with this traditional zoning case the applicant will be required to go through the
development process; providing more detailed plans at a later date. For this request the Commission
should evaluate whether the property is better suited as Single Familv Residential or remain Agriculture -
Open Space AO A conversion to Single Family Residential zoning is consistent with the Future Land
Use Plan. The surrounding properties are zoned Single Family Residential R-3 and R-5. The proposed
rezoning to Single Family Residential R-5 is compatible with surrounding property
Mr. Bass addressed some citizen concerns that the department had received. He stated that he discussed
the proposed rezoning with Allen School District administration. The school district has used the Future
Land Use Plan to calculate district capacities. Therefore, the school district has already planned on this
property converting to a Single Family Residential zoning district.
Staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Kizer stated that one of the citizen response letters referred to the surrounding zoning as
Single Family Residential R-4 He asked for clarification. Mr. Bass specified the surrounding zoning as
Single Family Residential R-5. lie reminded the Commission that the typical Single Familv Residential
in Allen is R-5 zoning.
