Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Gene Hill made the following statement:
Madam Mayor and Town Councilpersons:
Since the introduction of PD-30 to Town Council and Planning & Zoning in Joint Session on September 6,
2011, the Commission has studied and thoroughly reviewed the provided documentation in several
sessions. Our meetings included well-attended Public Hearings when appropriate to PD-30
considerations. The developer's representatives were present on occasions when the proposed PO -30
was discussed by the Commission.
Planning & Zoning Commission meetings in October and November examined proposed PD-30
documentation in great detail, recommending to developer's representatives the modifications and
changes deemed appropriate to Trophy Club's development standards and community desires. These
were documented to the developer's representatives following the November meetings.
The zoning change request for PD-30 that was resubmitted to the Commission by the developer's
representatives for consideration at our December 15, 2011 meeting did not include changes requested
by Commissioners during our October and November meetings.
