Van Alstyne's Planning and Zoning Commission picks up its work on the zoning changes that will carry out the city's Comp Plan 2035 at a work session at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall, 152 N. Main Drive.

The agenda lists one topic for the session: the Comp Plan 2035 Implementation Plan, "including but not limited to various Zoning Ordinance amendments and related regulations." No action is listed.

Tonight marks at least the third meeting since early September at which the commission has taken up the plan. Minutes in tonight's packet show that at a Sept. 2 work session, members and staff went over the process, the timeline and community engagement, along with rules for the historic district, corridor districts, land use and area standards.

That session ran about an hour and 40 minutes. On Sept. 22 the commission heard another update on the process, timeline and public engagement. No action was taken at either meeting.

A townhome pitch

The Sept. 22 minutes also record a presentation from Roger Boyd and Ram Peddineni on a possible townhome development along future Dumas Street. The minutes give no size, layout or schedule for the project, and the commission took no action. No application tied to it appears on tonight's agenda.

Tonight's regular meeting

The commission's regular meeting follows at 6:30 p.m. Two plats in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction are up:

  • Hudson Estates replat: Lots 7, 8 and 9 of Hudson Estates, on 3.1 acres on the east side of County Road 830 north of Winding Creek Lane, would become four residential lots. Because it is a replat, the subdivision ordinance requires a public hearing. Staff recommends approval, subject to the city signing off on engineering plans and to Collin County's approval where it applies.
  • Yowell Addition: A final plat on the consent agenda would create one residential lot on 4 acres on the north side of Durning Road, west of FM 3356, and dedicate right-of-way for Durning Road. Staff recommends approval subject to Collin County's review.

The commission will also hold a public hearing on changes to its own membership rules, which would go to the City Council as a recommendation.
