A. WORKSHOP
1. Review of proposed citywide re-zoning.
Council reviewed the following properties where zoning disputes were questioned and
recommended the following reclassifications:
Property located at 7527 Mansfield Highway described as Jesse Russell Survey,
Abstract 1361, Tract 13A02 be reclassified from "R-3" Single Family District to "C-
2" General Commercial District;
2. Property located at 3917 S. New Hope Road described as Robert C. Richey Survey,
Abstract 1327, Tract 2H and Tracts 2, 2C, 2M, 2F, and 2G, as well as, R C Richey
Survey, Abstract 1395, Tracts 1, lA, 1B, 1C, 1D, and lE be reclassified from "C-2"
General Commercial District to "R-2" Single Family Residential District.
Discussion continued on various other properties and it was the consensus of Council to
keep the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation.
In addition, it was noted that the property located in the 700 block of Mansfield Cardinal
Road identified as Jesse B. Renfro Survey, Abstract 1260, Tracts SA and SB, containing
71.700 acres, would not be considered during the citywide zone change, as the property
was omitted from the hearing process due to a zone change request from the property
owners, which was later withdrawn.
2. Review of Planned Development District.
Council discussed the concept of planned development and decided that the district
carries a broad classification, which they would like to shy away from unless a plan is
received from a developer and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
Council. It was noted that a zone change request could be applied for to allow for this
type of classification when a developer proposed a planned development district.
3. Review of proposed sign ordinance.
Council reviewed a billboard reflecting 72 non-compliance signs in the Business 287
Overly District. Discussion followed with the various sign types and restrictions of such
in the overlay district.
2553
Additional discussion took place on the time frame for compliance of the proposed
ordinance. It was again noted that the proposed sign ordinance did not vary much from
the existing Highway 287 Overlay District already established. With this in mind,
Council requested a comparison between the two ordinances and that the differences be
highlighted.
Attention getting signs were briefly discussed and the liabilities of such, as well as, the
need for appropriate addressing on all buildings along Business 287.
Council having no further discussion, Mayor Wright entered into executive session at
8:34 p.m.
B. EXECUTIVE SESSION
