Ogden "Bo Bass, AICP, Director of Community Development, presented to the Commission. The
property is located south of Exchange Parkway, west of Watters Road, and east of Bray Central Drive.
He explained that Planned Development No. 108 was adopted in October of 2011 and that it created
various districts with unique development standards for each district The subject property falls within
District D of PD No. 108 District D was intended to create a unique development for Allen; providing
for a mix of housing types, diversity of housing sizes and architectural styles, strategically located civic
space, streetscapes with urban character and pedestrian oriented streets and walkways.
Director Bass described the proposed residential development as being a 76.4± acre portion of District D.
The Concept Plan shows a total of 352 front and rear entry lots, of various lot sizes integrated within the
development. He explained that the density of the development falls within the permitted density range of
3.8 - 6.2 units/acre for PD 108 District D. The Concept Plan shows a total of four (4) access points along
the perimeter arterial roads and provides approximately 16.0± acres of open space; which is distributed
throughout the development as community parks, mews space, passive open space and periphery
landscaping.
He explained that the existing development regulations for PD No. 108 are being modified to
accommodate the proposed development in the following ways:
• The existing regulation to deed restrict the property to individuals 55 years and older is being
removed.
• Design standards and exhibits are being incorporated and/or modified to establish the various
housing types and lot dimensions, architectural styles, streetscapes, parking provisions, entryway
signage and screening, open space areas and maintenance of common areas.
Director Bass explained that due to the Boor plan designs, size of private open space on each lot and
anticipated housing price points the target market for this development will be young professional and
older active adult/empty nester. The target market does not generally produce a large number of school
aged children. Therefore, impact to the school district will be minimal. Director Bass stated that this has
been confirmed through meetings with City staff, the developer and senior officials at the Allen
Independent School District. The position of the superintendent's office is that the project will not
generate a quantity of students that places a burden on the school district or adjacent school sites.
Director Bass stated that staff believes the proposed development meets the purpose and intent of Planned
Development No. 108 District D.
He recommended approval of the request.

that there are a couple of those lots that exist within this development and that at a minimum the
streetscape will be consistent to the rest of the development.
Director Bass stated the applicant has been very Flexible to address all the concerns voiced within the
development.
2nd Vice Chair Mangrum inquired about widths of the streets in comparison to other subdivisions.
Director Bass stated the streets within most of this development show the typical street width of 31 feet,
which is consistent with the ALDC single family residential subdivision regulations. All of the streets that
are narrower than the typical 31 feet provide dedicated parallel parking spaces along the open space areas
instead of the traditional on -street parking.
Chairman Wendland added that he was supportive of the project and how it embraces the changing
housing demand and can add a lot to the City of Allen.
