Planning & Zoning Commission
November 6, 2023
Zoning: Anna Ranch, Phase 2, 3, Commercial, Multifamily, & Industrial
Applicant: Harlan Properties, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:
Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on a recommendation to amend
Ordinance No. 333-2021 & Ordinance No. 323-2007 on 205± acres consisting of multiple
tracts of land generally located at the northeast, southeast, and southwest corners of
Leonard Avenue (CR 422) and E Foster Crossing Road (CR 421).
177 Single-family dwellings, detached lots, 129 single-family dwellings, attached lots,
park lot, two vacant commercial lots, vacant multi-family dwelling lot, and vacant industrial
lot on 205 acres, generally located on the northeast, southeast, and southwest corners
of Leonard Avenue and E. Foster Crossing Road.
REMARKS:
A Planned Development (PD) is intended to provide for combining and mixing of uses
allowed in various districts with appropriate regulations and to permit flexibility in the use
and design of land and buildings in situations where modification of specific provisions of
this article is not contrary to its intent and purpose or significantly inconsistent with the
planning on which it is based and will not be harmful to the community. A PD district may
be used to permit new and innovative concepts in land utilization. While great flexibility
is given to provide special restrictions, which will allow development not otherwise
permitted, procedures are established herein to insure against misuse of the increased
flexibility.
The subject property is currently undeveloped. A concept plan, Anna Ranch,
accompanies this request as Exhibit A.
History
The current zoning as adopted by Ordinance No. 323-2007 and amended by Ordinance
No. 333-2021 originally included 737± acres north and south of Collin County Outer Loop.
Under the 2021 zoning amendment, the property owner modified the zoning of 205 acres
north of Collin County Outer Loop to better align with the Master Thoroughfare Plan,
increased the nonresidential land areas, and adjusted the zoning designations.
Page 2 of 8
The Planned Development language and Concept Plan from 2021 included detailed
regulations pertaining to required park land dedication. On July 17, 2023, the applicant’s
representatives gave a presentation to the Parks Advisory Board. At that meeting, the
Board recommended that only one of the two proposed park land dedication sites should
be required due to recent park land improvements that are part of an adjacent
development.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning
North Single-Family lots in the ETJ north of E Foster Crossing Road and
Single-Family Residential (SF-60) zoning (Anna Ranch, Phase 1;
Ord. No. 323-2007)
East (north of E.

Road)
Across CR 418 is vacant land zoned Planned Development for multi-
family dwellings (Skorburg Anna Ranch; Ord. No. 1054-2023-06),
residential lots within the ETJ, a concrete batch plant within the ETJ,
and a concrete bath plant, permanent zoned Light Industrial District
(I-1) with Specific Use Permit for permanent concrete batch plant
(Ord. No. 843-2020)
South Collin County Outer Loop
West Vacant land zoned Planned Development owned by Holt-Cat (Ord.
No. 743-2017 & 1029-2023-01)
Proposed Changes
•Modify the location and amount of park land dedication based on the construction
of Anna Ranch, Phase 1, amenity center and Parks Advisory Board
recommendation.
➢Previously, two park land tracts were identified on the Concept Plan and
within the Planned Development stipulations.
•Update the Planned Development districts’ stipulations to align with the newly
adopted Zoning Ordinance districts.
➢Under the previous Zoning Ordinance, single-family, attached was within
the SF-TH Townhome District. In August 2023, the Zoning Ordinance was
repealed and replaced including removing the SF-TH district and adding the
Mixed-Density Residential (MD) District.
•With the removal of one of the park land tracts, the applicant is proposing to shift
the MD District (Phase 3) to the east in order to provide a Regional Commercial
(C-2) District lot at the southeast corner of E Foster Crossing Road and Leonard
Avenue.
Page 3 of 8
•Modify the Planned Development to allow both the C-2 and MF tracts to develop
as Light Industrial (I-1) District.
➢Change the I-1 District land area from a maximum to a minimum
allowance of 85 acres.
➢Add additional landscaping requirements if industrial uses are developed
adjacent to the MD district.
•Clarify the language pertaining to sidewalks.
➢Provide greater details associated with the construction of the required
sidewalks and hike & bike trail.
•Allow for a 50-foot extension to the maximum 600-feet cul-de-sac length for the
street closest to the Anna Ranch, Phase 1 drainage and detention easement.
➢The street has not changed from the previously approved concept plan.

Please note I am AGAINST any rezoning to allow MORE multi-family! You are surrounding us with apartments in Anna Town
Square, which doesn’t even have the streets to provide for the additional traffic. Please allow us the green space of two parks and light
commercial and the existing single family and townhouse zoning.

Thank you Ms. Mecke,
As you will notice below I request this zoning request be denied until improved to better quality and aesthetic standards for our
community and city.
In a quick review of this zoning change request I have a question and opinion to register.
Question:
What is the requirement for posting a request to change zoning and when we’re these signs posted?
The zoning change re: one new city park makes sense given the one approved East of there on EFC.
Many other requests however diminish the living environment for residents in Anna some of which include:
Lowering buffer between Single Family and Multi Family from 60ft to 20ft.
Do not agree with allowing plank fence along Leonard and EFC when adjacent to Single Family lots. (Leonard should maintain
wide vegetative buffer with trees and plants from road to fence, and masonry fences all the way to outer loop. EFC should
maintain masonry fences).
Do not agree with removing/reducing requirement for trees in common areas.
Just a few examples. I request this Zoning Change be denied until amended to be more aesthetically pleasing, contributes to
enhancing Anna as a desirable place to live (respecting need for attractive buffers along Leonard & East Foster Crossing. Attractive
and welcoming entrance into Anna on Leonard at the Outer Loop. Increasing trees in common areas and between streets and
developments in landscape buffers, larger space/buffers between residential lots and Multifamily/Commercial/Industrial, etc.

All:
As a home owner and resident of Anna,
I request 33-2021 and 323-2007 change requests be denied
until they more fully realize the quality and aesthetic compatibility of
the standards in force within the local community and city.
Decreasing buffers, and substituting wood for brick and mortar fencing are key issues,
as well as building the infrastructure BEFORE building more multifamily dwellings.

Dear Ross, Lauren, and my Anna neighbors,
Context matters.
In the consideration of the several changes to be considered at tonight's P&Z meeting, context
is necessary.
Even though these changes being requested by nearby developers may not be directly linked to
the history that homeowners in Anna Town Square (ATS) have experienced with past city
planners and developers affecting our neighborhood, I believe it is important enough to
mention once again here.
The following information can shed light on the mood of homeowners in ATS. In this, I
sincerely hope that our city and the developers will work to not only understand, but to give
credence to our concerns, as well as make all reasonable effort to accommodate them.
In summary, I have considerable concerns about the infrastructure, safety, and quality of life
in our small corner of Anna being degraded with the projected population load.
Therefore, I am opposed to any proposed modifications that would not directly or indirectly
increase or maintain our homeowners' satisfaction, value, and/or safety.
Sincerely,
David Bergthold

Good a;ernoon Ross and Lauren,
I am kindly reques5ng that you deny zoning changes on all property located at East Foster Crossing and
Leonard.
I feel it is important to provide as much green space, and maintain quality building materials as much as
possible.
The homeowners within ATS have beau5ful stone and brick homes as well as brick walls separa5ng their
proper5es from main roads. It would benefit the neighborhood greatly to maintain this quality.
Thank you for your considera5on.
