Uh let the record show that all commissioners are present except for Commissioner Ellis and Rowe and Sabree.

All in favor.

Can I get a motion on that?

Commissioner moved to approve the minutes as presented.

All in favor?

Motion passes unanimously.

Uh next item is PH one hold a public hearing and consider a request submitted by Quintero Engineering LLC on behalf of Atkinson Home Inc.

case number Z twenty five-25 to rezone approximately nineteen point five six acres out of the T Arnold survey, abstract number fifty-five, and J H Lewis survey, abstract number five thirty-six from A agriculture district to PUD Plan Unit Development with RT1 residential town house single family district.

All units will have to have fire suppression systems.

So this is our layout.

So the primary modifications uh include reductions to uh the side yard setbacks, rear setbacks, and a private yard area.

Uh the PUD also proposes zero lot line construction and allows for reduced separation between town home groups as well as fewer units per group.

Visitor parking is reduced.

Um the landscape standards are modified to permit shorter canopy trees, smaller shrubs, and a broader range of ground cover materials.

So the architectural standards that are not specified in the base code.

They are included.

There are some included in this.

They have masonry uh for a requirement, um, architectural design elements, uh, restriction on elevation repetition, um just to promote visual variety.

Additionally, the timing of the common area amenity installation is adjusted to coincide with the issuance of certificate of occupancies.

The property is located in the controlled growth area on the growth sector map and designated as residential mix on the future land use map of the 2040 comprehensive plan.

This gives you the approximate location, it's just uh due north of the uh Killeen uh Fort Hood Regional Airport, um just east of uh Clare Creek.

This is an aerial overlay uh view of the property.

So a view from Pauline Drive of the subject property.

This is looking towards Clear Creek from uh Pauline Drive itself, and then this is actually looking back towards Mitchell Farms, and then looking across the street to give you kind of a what's around it.

So this is a notification map that steps in out this 200 and 400 foot buffer.

We did notify 50 surrounding property owners.

Uh we did receive one response in opposition to the request.

Uh it is in there uh in your packet for you to read.

So what we found when we were looking at this is that there are no parks or trails that were proposed on this property.

However, the applicant is a proposing amenities, uh, two gazebos, one playscape, one dog park, uh, one half-court basketball court, two pickleball courts, four picnic tables with grills.

So tonight the planning zoning commission has uh three options here.

Recommend disapproval of the applicant zoning request, recommend approval of the applicant's zoning request with conditions, or recommend approval of the applicant's zoning request as presented.

Staff recommends approval of the applicant zoning request as presented.

Do I have any questions?

All right, I guess no questions.

Moving on.

Thank you.

Oh, oh, public hearing, sorry.

Who's uh here to represent this case?

Come forward, state your name.

Good evening, Pedro Quintero with Quintero Engineering.

There's no sign in sheet.

Yes, ma'am.

Um we're excited about this project.

It brings a new product to the uh city of Killeen.

Um while you may hear town homes, we are looking it's almost like a private time home development where we really come in here, and as you turn into our townhomes, there's gonna be a really nice entry with the masonry fencing uh is contained within itself.

Um part of this development, which in coordination with staff was Miss Wallace did a great job making us nail down our amenities and providing uh uh those amenities and assurance to it, and we're and we have a client that's willing to do all these things.
