COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Future Land Use Plan (FLUP): Suburban Living (SL)
Suburban Living neighborhoods consist predominantly of single-family housing
on detached lots. Home sites are in platted subdivisions with connections to
public utilities, residential streets and sidewalks, open space, parks and
amenities. This PlaceType is found near neighborhood commercial and
commercial centers. Suburban living provides the population necessary to
support the nearby commercial and professional office uses within the
surrounding corridors. Residential uses are typically self-contained with a buffer
from non-residential developments through transitional uses and landscaped
areas. Lot sizes in Suburban Living are typically less than 1 acre.
Primary Land Use: Single-family detached homes, parks and open spaces,
neighborhood -serving amenities.
Secondary Land Use: Civic and institutional uses
Downtown Master Plan: Transitional Development within the Downtown
Neighborhood District
The following primary building types are appropriate in the Transitional
Development areas: Mixed -use, office, storefront retail, restaurants, urban
attached residential, detached residential, cottage residential.
Thoroughfare Plan: Major Arterial
E. White Street (Farm -to -Market 455) is a Texas Department of Transportation
(TXDOT) right-of-way
CONCLUSION
The purpose of the Regional Commercial (C-2) District zoning is for the
development of larger retail and office uses along Major Arterials to service the
greater region. Although C-2 District zoning would typically not be appropriate
within the Suburban Living classification, the property's location is on the fringe
of the Downtown Neighborhood District along a Major Arterial road and therefore
conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
At the June 2, 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, the Commission
voted 5-0 (unanimous) to recommend approval to the City Council.
Mayor Cain opened the public hearing at 7:16 PM
No comments were made.
Mayor Cain closed the public hearing at 7:16 PM.

COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Future Land Use Plan (FLUP): Community Commercial (CC) and Urban Living
(UL)
Community Commercial development is typically characterized by small,
freestanding buildings containing one or more businesses. Unlike larger
shopping centers that may attract regional customers, Community Commercial
developments primarily provide services for residents of surrounding
neighborhoods. Business types may include restaurants, local retail, medical
offices, banks and other retail and services.
Urban Living are high density neighborhoods that support a variety of different
housing types in a walkable development pattern. Urban neighborhoods are
composed of a relatively compact network of streets that are easy to navigate by
car, bike or on foot. They may contain one or more of the following housing types:
Small lot, single-family detached, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums or
apartments. In an urban neighborhood, housing is located within proximity to
local retail and services that serve residents and surrounding neighborhoods.
This PlaceType typically includes a higher intensity of uses developed in an
urbane style that is supported by nodes of activity.
Thoroughfare Plan: Major Arterial (W. White Street)
Physical Features of the Site: The southeastern corner of the property contains
a significant grade change between the site and Oak Hollow, Phase 4 to the east.
A portion (12.6± acres) of the Planned Development on the west side of
Persimmon Drive was deeded as parkland earlier this year. A Hike & Bike trail
meanders through the park and will connect to the commercial tract along W.
White Street.
AMENDMENT
The applicant requested the following
• Rezone the frontage along W. White Street from Local Commercial (C-1) to
Regional Commercial (C-2) to allow for three restaurant tracts and a tract with a
retail building, a childcare building and an auto repair/oil change building.
• Maintain Tract 5 as Regional Commercial (C-2) to accommodate four office
buildings;
The current planned development zoning allows 90 single-family detached
dwellings on 6,000-square-foot lots on Tracts 6 and 7. This request modifies the
existing concept plan by:
• Rezoning the northern part of the Single -Family Residential (SF-6.0) tract to
Regional Commercial (C-2) to accommodate five, 1-story flex space/office
buildings (shown as Tract 6 on the Concept Plan).
• Rezoning the southern part of the Single -Family Residential (SF-6.0) tract to
Mixed Density Residential District (MD) to accommodate 93 two-story single-
family attached dwelling units. (Shown as Tract 7 on the Concept Plan).
CONCLUSION
The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, increasing the
commercial footprint of the site, and increasing the single-family residential
component by three units.
At the June 2, 2025, Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, the Commission
voted 5-0 (unanimous) to recommend approval to the City Council.
Mayor Cain opened the public hearing at 7:19 PM.
