Heritage Avenue, and south of the Heritage Towne Crossing Development. This
property is currently zoned "TX-121" the 121 Gateway District.
Mike stated the applicants representatives, Kent Donahue and Terry Belcher, were
available for any questions.
Terry Belcher, 200 E. Abrams Street, Arlington, Texas, stated this is a great
development for the City of Euless and would stand by for any questions.
Chairman McNeese asked Mike Collins to explain the process that would follow the
Land Plan for this development.
Mike Collins stated if the Land Plan gets approved tonight then this gives authorization
to the applicant to proceed with a Planned Development Zone Change for the land use
and lot layout. Concurrently a Preliminary Plat would be proposed involving the entire
site and then move for a Final Plat for Phase I.
Commissioner Bearden asked Mike Collins what a Planned Development does for this
project that they can not get thru the TX-121 zoning.
Mike Collins stated rather than going forward for the commercial development, which is
permitted by right, the Planned Development would specifically establish the land uses,
densities, as well as the specific development standards for the project, and establish
the phasing for the development.
Commissioner Bearden asked is Phase I residential necessarily part of Phase I
commercial.
Terry Belcher stated not necessarily
Mike Collins stated the City Council has provided policy direction to the applicant that
the commercial would be substantially completed before the residential would be
developed. The Planned Development would allow some details to be done to the
residential development.
Chairman McNeese stated he was excited about this development and looks forward to
the next phase in the process.

seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
