Change. Commissioner Sherrouse stated she felt the PUD
document was too vague. Commissioner Fuentes felt that it
matched the area. He felt the market would fit the area and size,
but maybe should go to smaller lots. He was in favor of this Zone
Change.
Commissioner West asked Planning Director Krishnarao if staff has
made a final recommendation on this. If Staff's comments are
taken into account and addressed, they could be in favor.
Vice -Chairperson locco's concern was if Mr. Pollak sold this
property. Commissioner West felt that the PUD's are being
submitted in order to go around the zoning.
The vote was called, and was denied 2-3. Those voting against
and their reasons were: Commissioner Sherrouse, who felt the
PUD was too vague; Chairperson Sandars, due to density and
landscaping in the front; and Vice -Chairperson locco because the
original zoning in the area has no bearing in this case, and the
future land use plan shows 10,000 square foot or greater lots.
C. CONSIDERATION & POSSIBLE ACTION — Zone Change
Application No. 1248
A request by C. Davis Wilson, applicant for Texas Heritage Village,
LLC, owner, for an amendment to the Land Use and Urban

wrong location.

Reasons given were: the document is not in a PUD document
format, the zoning is not in conformance with the Comprehensive
