HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CASE NO 21-04-PD AND RECOMMENDED AN ORDINANCE Vice Chairman Portugal opened the public hearing on Planned Development Case No 21- 04-PD at 7:07 PM. Stephen Cook, Consultant, gave a brief description of the case on behalf of the City of Euless. In 2011, the City Council approved a Planned Development zoning district for property located northwest of State Highway 360 and State Highway 183 to allow a project that included single family residential, urban loft residential, commercial and mixed -use commercial development. In the intervening years, three hundred seventy-eight (378) single family units and five hundred (500) urban loft units have been constructed. Commercial development has been limited to retail, restaurant, and convenience store uses on the south side of E. Harwood Drive. A remaining sixty-three (63) acres along the southeast portion of the development remains to be constructed. In 2021, the remaining property to be developed was acquired by Centurion American. Centurion American developed the Founders Parc project in Euless east of S. Industrial Boulevard and north of W. Euless Boulevard. The zoning case for this planned development intends to rezone the undeveloped sixty-three acres into a mix of single-family (SF) attached and detached homes, urban lofts (Multifamily [MF]), commercial development, and public amenities which reflect much of the original zoning ordinance's intentions while maintaining a development style that has shown to be successful in the Founders Parc development. The Development Services Group has reviewed the plans and conditions of the Planned Development Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development Ordinance.

Vice Chairman Portugal asked to hear from any proponents/opponents who wished to speak. Lance Ellington is the owner of a neighboring property and spoke in favor of this project. Seeing none further, Vice Chairman Portugal closed the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. Commissioner Brown asked if construction is going to be simultaneous or in phases. Mr. Cook replied all of the single family residential infrastructure will be constructed in one phase. The commercial, single family residentials, and water feature are all intended to be built at the same time. Commissioner Owens asked about the detention pond on the north east corner part of the property. Mr. Cook replied that it is a detention pond for this project. There will not be standing water. It will be a grassy area when empty and maintained by the new Homeowners Association. Vice Chairman Portugal asked if there are tenants in place for the commercial spaces or if the spaces would be built once there are tenants. Mr. Cook replied that the master developer is working closely with City Staff and City Managers to ensure there will be tenants in the initial phase of commercial development. Additional building space will be built as tenants join the development. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner C. Brown made a motion to approve Case No. 21-04-PD input regarding a request for a Planned Development to change the zoning of 32.863 acres in the A.
