located at 111 North Powell Parkway (Hwy 5), to consider the following items.

Miller and Tiffany Burleson were absent. Staff present was Maurice Schwanke and Tana

2. Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance.
Mr. Schwanke gave the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
3. (a) Public Hearing: To consider public comments on a request by Bloomfield
Homes, owner of property, requesting an Exception to the Residential Architectural
Standards by the approval of a Specific Use Permit from Section 35.04 (c) of the
Anna Zoning Ordinance which sets the distance from front elevation to the garage
front to a maximum distance of 10' to a requested distance of 13' on Bloomfield
Bluebonnet Home model. The parcels are location in portions of West Crossing
Phases 1, 2, 3 and future sections of West Crossing subdivision and part of Willow
Creek Addition. The property is currently zoned as Planned Development Single
Family Residential.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:06 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and
answered questions from the Commission. He noted that in October of 2012 the City
Council passed an ordinance concerning residential building standards. One of the
provisions goals was to eliminate snoot/garage construction where the garage sticks out
15' to 20' in front of the remainder of the structure so that when you drive by all you saw
was the garage. Bloomfield homes has a home model called "Bluebonnet" which front
elevation sets back 3 feet further than the 10 foot allowed. The front of the building is
covered by an integrated front porch that serves as an outdoor living area and does not
give the appearance that the garage is the dominant element on the lot. The areas in the
request are areas that the Bluebonnet model could be used, however, the units cannot be
placed side by side or across the street from each other but must be used within the
parameters of the existing non repetitive standards, therefore, the staff is recommending
approval of this Specific Use Permit.
Tim Stewart, representative for Bloomfield Homes was present, and gave a brief
presentation and answered questions from the Commission. The Public Hearing closed at
7:11 p.m.

have specific recognizable facades that may be desirous, however, not allowed because of
the masonry requirements. The final aspect of this ordinance addresses the requirements
for masonry requirements on municipal governmental buildings. The staff is

Corporation is interested in rezoning the property in line with future residential densities
that are defined in the "Anna Comprehensive Plan" (Plan) so that when a potential
purchaser buys the property they will know what kind of densities and standards we
would anticipate on the tract of land and they would not need to go through another
rezoning request. This would allow a prospective purchaser to know what they are buying
and they can make their decisions accordingly.

feet. The ordinance addresses several other factors as shown in the attached ordinance
for the Commission's consideration. The staff recommends approval of this ordinance.
