Chris Patterson stated this property is 370 acres, a very large scale tract of land.

' Mayor Pro -Tem Moore stated he has also been concerned regarding the school districts and would like to see that resolved before it comes back in July for the second reading. Page 5 of 10 — 5/8/2017 Councilmember Ordeneaux stated his biggest issue is density, he truly believes if the City , keeps going down this road it will affect every study and plan the City has. Taking Single - Family Estate (R -E) and commercial property and rezoning it, basically becoming a Single - Family Residential District (R3) or a Single -Family Residential District (R4) type density development. He cannot support this. He further stated he does agree with getting the school district issue resolved before Council approval. Councilmember Perez stated regarding the school district issue he feels comfortable tonight voting yes, but getting the issue resolved before the second reading. He further stated his concerns regarding the lack of detail of the Planned Development (PD). The lack of clarity in the Planned Development (PD) early on prevents the City from being able to enforce what the Developer promised. He will feel comfortable in voting yes tonight, but until the Planned Development (PD) has more detail and the school district issue is resolved he will not vote yes on the second reading. Ron Cobb Developer of Massey Oaks stated it is his full intention to do what is right. He totally accepts Staffs language regarding the school district to not be split.
