IV. REPORT ON STATUS OF ZONING CASE 202, (JACK BROWNE 'S PROPERTY) Chairman Weber read a letter from the City Secretary, advising him that the Euless City Council recently referred Zoning Case No. 202 back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further consideration because additional information has been furnished concerning the routing of S. H. 360. Mr. Bullard reported that more complete plans concerning the development of the subject property were presented at the public hearing before the City Council than when the case was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Therefore, the City Council is of the opinion members of the Commission should be made aware of all information available. Mr. Bullard stated further that recommend- ed zoning, to be indicated on the Future Land Use Map, is dependent upon the location of the extension of S. H. 360, and the corridor route for this highway has not definitely been determined. Mr. Bullard advised that the City 's Consulting Engineer, Mr. Bill Ratliff, has been working on the routing of this highway. He reminded Commission Members of the proposal to extend the highway up the western perimeter of the airport property, ending up at Fuller-Wiser Road, and advised that another proposal is to extend the highway through the airport area designated for the V/Stol Terminal Complex, rather than going around it. Mr. Bullard advised that this information will have some bearing on Zoning Case 202, and the matter will be placed on the Planning and Zoning Commission Agenda, as soon as definite informa- tion concerning the highway is obtained. (Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, August 4, i970) V. REPORT ON STATUS OF MULTI -FAMILY ZONING AMENDMENTS Mr. Bullard reported that density require- ments for multi -family developments have been considered by" the City Council , which has tentatively recommended maximums of twelve (12) , sixteen (16) and twenty (20) units per acre. He advised that this matter will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission again, however, information has been requested concerning the requirements of Federal Housing Administration, which may have some bearing on the density requirements adopted by the City. Mr. Tench stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission gave much thought and study to this matter and recommended maximum densities of ten (10) , fourteen (14) and eighteen (18) -- that, in his opinion, the Commission should stick with their recommendation. Chairman Weber advised that, in his opinion, FHA requirements should be considered. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission has made a recommendation, as requested by the Council , and if the Council desires a higher density, it should proceed -- that he sees no reason for sending it back to the Commission. Members of the Commission briefly dis- cussed existing density and off-street parking facilities in apartment developments. r VI . RECOGNITION CF MR.
