Okay.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Uh please silence your cell phones or other devices.

I call this meeting to order at 7 09 p.m.

This is the December 2nd, 2021 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Carrollton.

This commission consists of nine members, all of whom are present tonight.

This commission has final authority on certain items and an advisory role on others.

In the case of advisory items, the commission's recommendation for denial will be considered by the city council if the applicant makes a written request in accordance with city ordinance.

The commission conducts its business in accordance with the posted agenda, copies of which are in the lobby outside these chambers.

In accordance with the state open meetings act, the planning and zoning commission is restricted from discussing or taking action on items not listed on the agenda.

The public may comment on all items listed on the agenda for planning and zoning commission consideration except cases under the heading public hearing.

All of the items on the agenda under the heading public hearing will be considered individually, beginning with the case presentation.

After any questions from the commission of staff

and

the applicant, the commission will ask if there is anyone present who would like to speak on the case, will be given an opportunity to do so.

When it is your time to speak, please come forward to the podium.

Give your name and address for the record and make your comments to the commission.

When everyone has had the opportunity to speak, the applicant will be given an opportunity to make any closing comments.

At that time, there will be no further opportunities for public testimony on that item.

The public testimony portions of the cases considered tonight are intended to be an opportunity for the public to be heard by the commission.

It is not an opportunity for the commission to respond to public testimony or answer questions from the public.

After the case presentations and public testimony period is complete completed, the commission will conduct any discussion and action as appropriate.

Alright, the first item of business is the consent agenda.

Does anyone have anything to discuss on the consent agenda?

If not, we will move to a vote.

And motion passes unanimously.

All

right, now we will proceed to the public hearing portion of the agenda, starting with item number four, presented by case coordinator Lauren Shapiro.

Good evening, Commissioners.

Lauren Shapiro Development Services.

Currently, the view multifamily mixed use developments being constructed on the west side of the property.

Overall, on the site, the city had once owned property that extended from where Trinity Mills is, and then along the north side of Rayford, and then extending along the east side of Old Denton.

There was

a

plan that was completed called the Rayford Plan.

And one of the elements of that was to create a more urban environment along that north side of Rayford Road, including the view that's currently under construction and this subject property.

So

what the applicant's proposing to do is they're modifying the concept plan that's currently in place.

And instead of having more of a townhome appearance, they're wanting to come in and have more of a two units per building.

So it would be single family in that sense, but it would be multifamily in that it's going to develop on one single track that will not be these simple.

The

applicant's continuing the streetscape along the south side along Rayford Road, rear access will remain in the back, where their garages will be.

Kind of see the viewpoint from Rayford Road 3D rendering streetscape in the front along Rayford, the spine road providing access to rear entry driveways and garages in the back, and then view corridors of the creek and connectivity to the trail.

As I go through the slides, the what the other change they're making is increasing the minimum unit size from 1,200 square feet that's currently in place to 1900 square feet.
