Development Zoning to Planned Development (PD) Single Family Zoning. The

The Public Hearing opened at 7:10 p.m. Commissioner Lee Miller excused himself
regarding this agenda item.
Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and answered questions from the Commission. This
48 acre tract is owned by the Anna Economic Development Corporation. The
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.
This request is for 7,200 square feet minimum lot size with an average of 8,400 square
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.
The Public Hearing closed at 7:18 p.m.
(b) Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding request by owner(s) of
property, to change from Single Family Estate (SF -E) and existing Planned
Development Zoning to Planned Development (PD) Single Family Zoning. The
subject property is located west of CR 427 and south of CR 376. The tract is
approximately 48.004 acres of land in the

Ordinance), Section 35 by adding Section 35.04(f)5) (Masonry Content).
The Public Hearing opened at 7:20 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and
answered questions from the Commission. The front elevations of residential structures
masonry content is already controlled by our zoning ordinance. However, on double
frontage lots or in areas that visually abut thoroughfares rear elevations need to be
addressed. Making rear elevations match the front elevations in these instances will
improve the overall appearance of our City when traversing through the City along
thoroughfares. The Public Hearing closed at 7:22 p.m.

Anna Code of Ordinances by amending Part III -C (Zoning Ordinance), Section 35
