IN A MUNICIPAL COMPLEX - COUNCIL CHAMBERS LOCATED 120 WEST 7TH STREET, TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON AN OPEN SESSION AGENDA ITEM, PLEASE FILL OUT THE SPEAKER REGISTRATION FORM.

TURN IT INTO THE CITY STAFF. ITEM 1. CALL TO ORDER.

ROLL CALL. ESTABLISHMENT OF QUORUM. WELCOME TO THE CITY OF ANNA.

PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING FOR AUGUST 4TH, 2025.

TIME IS 6:00 PM. COMMISSIONER WALDEN IS NOT PRESENT.

ALL OTHERS ARE PRESENT. QUORUM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I WANT TO WELCOME TO NEW COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSIONER STEWART AND COMMISSIONER DEJOHNETTE.

GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. SO WELCOME. ITEM 2. INVOCATION, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

ALL RISE FOR THE INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE GATHER HERE TODAY IN SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY TO GUIDE GROWTH, PRESERVE WHAT MATTERS, AND PLAN WISELY FOR THE FUTURE.

MAY WE APPROACH OUR DISCUSSION WITH OPEN MINDS, RESPECTFUL HEARTS, AND A COMMITMENT TO THE GREATER GOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AMEN. AMEN.

ALSO, AT THIS TIME, ANY PERSON MAY ADDRESS A COMMISSION REGARDING AN ITEM THAT, REGARDING AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THIS MEETING AGENDA.

EACH PERSON WILL BE ALLOWED UP TO THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. NO DISCUSSION OR ACTION MAY BE TAKEN AT THIS MEETING ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA, OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A NEIGHBOR'S INQUIRY, OR TO RECITE THE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.

DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? ANY SPEAKER? NOPE. ALL RIGHT.

[4. Planning Manager's Report.]

ITEM 4. PLANNING MANAGER'S REPORT. LAUREN. GOOD EVENING, PLANNING MANAGER LAUREN MECKE.

SO I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO UPDATE YOU WITH. OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGEST ONE BEING THAT MISS SCOTT-SIMS HAS LEFT US.

WHILE WE'RE SHOCKED BY HER SUDDEN DEPARTURE, I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT ASSISTANT DIRECTOR NADER JERI, AS WELL AS MYSELF, ARE COMPLETELY INTEND TO KEEP THE DEPARTMENT OPERATING WITH BUSINESS AS USUAL.

IT'S NOT OUR FIRST GO AROUND WITHOUT A DIRECTOR.

AS SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER. AND WE WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON.

AND VICE CHAIR VOLLMER HAS BEAT ME TO OUR NEW COMMISSIONERS.

CITY COUNCIL TOOK ACTION ON THE MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX THAT YOU MADE A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL.

COUNCIL DENIED THE ITEM. THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HISTORIC NATURE OF DOWNTOWN, AND I DO THINK THAT WE WILL NEED TO HAVE SOME FURTHER DISCUSSIONS TO HELP THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AS WELL AS STAFF.

AS FAR AS WHAT OUR DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN SAYS, AS WELL AS THE TWO ZONING DISTRICTS THAT APPLY TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

THERE ARE ALSO A FEW STATE LAWS THAT GO INTO EFFECT SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SO THE ONES THAT AFFECT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, EXCUSE ME, FOR ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, WE NOW HAVE TO POST THE AGENDA THREE BUSINESS DAYS, NOT JUST 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

SO WE WILL BE POSTING THE AGENDA. MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY THE WHOLE PACKET, BUT THE AGENDA WILL BE POSTED THE TUESDAY BEFORE.

ZONING SIGN SIZES ARE GOING TO BE CHANGING. THEY ARE LARGER THAN WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO THIS WILL REQUIRE A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

AND WE ARE GOING TO REQUIRE THE APPLICANTS TO START PROVIDING THEM, INSTEAD OF IT BEING CITY STAFF GOING OUT THERE.

THERE IS A CHANGE FOR WHENEVER A ZONING CASE WOULD RESULT IN A HIGHER RESIDENTIAL DENSITY.

AS FAR AS IT CHANGES WHEN A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE GOES INTO EFFECT, AS WELL AS THE RESPONSE THRESHOLD, AS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH, IF 20% OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES SUBMIT A OPPOSITION LETTER, THEN IT TRIGGERS A SUPERMAJORITY. WELL, NOW, FOR PARTICULAR RESIDENTIAL CASES, IT'S NOW 60% INSTEAD OF 20%.

SO A LOT MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO RESPOND. AND THEN ONE OF THE ONES THAT SHOCKED ME THE MOST IS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CAN NO LONGER ACT AS THE IMPACT FEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THE LAST TIME THAT P&Z MET AS THE IMPACT FEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS 2022.

[00:05:05]

SO WE'RE COMING UP ON NEEDING THAT PRETTY SOON.

BUT IT WON'T BE YOU GUYS. AND THAT'S THE END OF MY REPORT.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THAT? GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. CONSENT ITEMS. DO ANY COMMISSIONER WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA?

[6. Consent Items.]

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND.

AND I APOLOGIZE, WE CAN'T DO THE ELECTRONIC VOTING JUST WITH THE TURNOVER OF PEOPLE. SO WE HAVE TO DO A ROLL CALL.

COMMISSIONER MARTIN. YES, COMMISSIONER DEJARNETTE.

YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN. YES. COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE.

YES. I'M A YES. COMMISSIONER STEWART. YES. MOTION PASSES.

ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND PUBLIC HEARINGS AT THIS TIME, IN PLACE OF ANY PUBLIC HEARING HELD TO THIS MEETING,

[7. Items For Individual Consideration and Public Hearings.]

ALL PERSONS WHO DESIRED WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD IN OPPOSITION TO OR IN FAVOR OF THE ORDINANCE, APPLICATION, OR OTHER PROPOSED ITEM. A. CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RESOLUTION REGARDING WILLOUGHBY THREE CREEKS RANCH ESTATES, BLOCK A, LOTS 1-10, REPLAT. OWNER MICHAEL AND KRYSTAL WILLOUGHBY.

SOUNDS GREAT. ALL RIGHT. SO FOR THIS ITEM, THIS IS LOCATED IN OUR ETJ AS FAR WEST AS YOU CAN GO. IT'S ACTUALLY, LIKE, PARTIALLY OUT OF OUR ETJ.

THIS ITEM IS INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AS THEY ARE REQUESTED OR.

SO THIS IS THEIR PLAT, THEY'RE REQUESTING A WAIVER FOR THE LENGTH OF THE CUL DE SAC.

THEY'RE IN OUR REGULATIONS, CUL DE SACS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO BE 400 TO 600FT.

THIS EXCEEDS THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, THE REST OF IT IS IN CONFORMANCE.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE WAIVER. IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF THE WAIVER FROM COUNCIL.

WE ALSO DO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

APPLICANT, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY OR SHARE? NO.

GOOD. NOT UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US.

GOOD. COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? THOUGHTS? CONVERSATION. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO APPROVE, SECOND.

COMMISSIONER MARTIN YES. COMMISSIONER DEJARNETTE.

YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN. YES. COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE.

YES. I'M A YES. COMMISSIONER STEWART. YES. MOTION PASSES.

B. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING/CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RECOMMENDATION ON AN ORDINANCE REGARDING A REQUEST TO AMEND AN EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR AN INCREASE IN THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SF-60 LOTS IN THE AREA. OWNER TFCC COYOTE, LLC.

THIS ITEM IS AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROPERTY ENTERED INTO A PRE ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL BACK IN 2021, AND THEN IN JANUARY OF 2022, THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY WASN'T IN THE CITY LIMITS, WAS ANNEXED IN AND ALL OF IT WAS ZONED TO THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AS PART OF THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO RE PLAT SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY PLATTED AS SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED, WHICH IS A TOWNHOME PRODUCT TO CHANGE THEM TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED, OR THE SF-60 PRODUCT ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE IT WITH THE FOLLOWING ITEMS AFTER THIS ITEM.

AS FAR AS THE TEXT AMENDMENTS, IT WOULD JUST BE 2 OR 3 MINOR CHANGES.

ONE IS THE WORDING WITHIN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT HAS MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SF-60 LOTS IS 250.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS INTENDED TO SAY MINIMUM. AND SO WE WOULD BE CHANGING THAT.

AND THEN BECAUSE THIS AREA WAS PLATTED AS SF-TH, WHICH HAS A SMALLER LOT DEPTH THEY ARE REQUESTING TO AMEND THE LOT DEPTH, WHICH WILL AFFECT THE LOT AREA FOR SOME OF THE LOTS.

A MAJORITY OF THEM WILL STILL MEET THE 120 FOOT DEPTH IN 6000FT².

[00:10:01]

IT'S JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE STILL COMPLYING.

THIS REQUEST IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH BOTH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.

WE RECEIVE ZERO RESPONSES IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL ESTIMATED AND THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE.

I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:10 P.M. ANY COMMISSIONER HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. IN REALITY, THEY'RE ASKING TO JUST CREATE LESS SPACES AND MAKE THEM BIGGER.

CREATE BIGGER LOTS. BIGGER LOTS. YEP. SO IT'S A DECREASE FROM 93 TOWNHOME LOTS TO 49 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOTS.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? ABSOLUTLY. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT WAS SHOWING LAKE ALPINE TRAIL? JUST CURIOUS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK A ROAD OUT.

IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES OR EVEN.

SO, THAT ROAD WAS AMENDED DURING THE CIVIL PLANS.

OKAY. THEY ACTUALLY HAD PREVIOUSLY, DURING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, HAD REQUESTED A WAIVER FROM THE OVER LENGTH STREET.

AND SO WHAT THEY DID INSTEAD WAS REMOVE THE CONNECTION TO 2862 AND SHIFTED THE ROAD NORTH TO WHATEVER THAT EAST WEST STREET IS.

OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR THEM? NO. ANY SPEAKER CARDS? ALL RIGHT. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:12 P.M.

AND CONFINE COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION STAFF.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR ANY MOTION. IT BRINGS THE DENSITY DOWN, WHICH I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE.

SO I'M FOR IT. I AGREE COMPLETELY. MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COMMISSIONER MARTIN.

YES. COMMISSIONER DEJARNETTE. YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN.

YES. COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE. YES. I'M A YES. MR. STEWART. YES. MOTION PASSES. ITEM C. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING/CONSIDER/DISCUSS/ACTION ON A RESOLUTION REGARDING COYOTE MEADOWS, PHASE 1C, REPLANT. YES.

THE REASON WHY THIS ONE REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING IS BECAUSE THE PLAT HAD ALREADY BEEN RECORDED.

IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ZONING REQUEST. THIS PORTION IS ALREADY PLATTED.

THEY ARE CHANGING THE PLAT FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED PRODUCT.

I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:13 P.M. ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS? MISS MARTIN. THIS IS JUST CONTINGENT UPON THE LAST.

RIGHT. OKAY. ANY SPEAKER CARDS? CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:14 P.M.

CAN FIND COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION STAFF. WE HAVE A MOTION.

ALL MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER MARTIN. YES. COMMISSIONER DEJARNETTE.

YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN. YES. COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE.

YES. I'M A YES. COMMISSIONER STEWART. YES. MOTION PASSES.

ITEM D. CONSIDERED/DISCUSS/ACTION ON RESOLUTION REGARDING COYOTE MEADOWS, PHASE 2B, PRELIMINARY PLAT.

THIS ONE DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING SINCE THE PLAT HAD NEVER BEEN FILED.

THEY ARE CHANGING IT FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED.

ASSOCIATED WITH THE ZONING CASE. DO WE HAVE A MOTION CONTINGENT ON THE SAME? MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER MARTIN. YES. COMMISSIONER DEJARNETTE.

YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN. YES. COMMISSIONER LONGMIRE.

YES. I'M A YES. COMMISSIONER STEWART. YES. MOTION PASSES.

[00:15:05]

ITEM 8. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. AT THIS TIME PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MAY IDENTIFY ISSUES OR TOPICS THEY WISH TO SCHEDULE FOR DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE MEETING.

[8. Future Agenda Items]

I KNOW WE HAD DISCUSSION BRIEFLY AROUND NEXT MEETING BEING SEPTEMBER 3RD.

OKAY. DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT MOVING IT LIKE TYPICAL TO THE WEDNESDAY INSTEAD? ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY. THE 3RD IS WEDNESDAY.

IT'S SEPTEMBER 1ST IS THE SCHEDULED MEETING. SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SO WE'LL MOVE IT TO THE 3RD. GOOD ON THAT. I'LL MOVE THAT TO SEPTEMBER 3RD.

IT'S ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR. OFFICIALLY. PERFECT.

THAT'S, YEAH. WE USUALLY POST THE CALENDAR A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

WE COULDN'T REMEMBER IF WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE OR NOT. I THINK ORIGINALLY WE HAD IT POSTED FOR THE NINTH, AND WE REALIZED THAT THAT WAS INCORRECT. GOTCHA.

THAT WORKS. WE'RE AHEAD OF ANY OTHER ISSUES TOPICS CONVERSATION TO HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW I'D LIKE TO WELCOME BOTH OF OUR NEW COMMISSIONERS.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. YEAH. GREAT. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL ADJOURN AT 6:16 P.M.
