The apartment density is 13.85 units per acre (14 allowed Per Chapter 106), . The townhome density is 9.72 per acre (10 allowed per Chapter 106). Development in a PUD zoning district requires that a General Plan (for the entire proposed project) arid a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) be submitted and processed simultaneously. Upon approval of the General Plan and SCUP by City Council, the applicant would be authorized to proceed with the platting and development plans for the site. Section 106-659 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the following criteria for review of development projects within a PUD zoning district: . Uses - Review of the City's Land Use Plan indicates this 107-acre area was envisioned as developing as low density residential with a small comer for commercial uses. However, this proposed development is not considered to be low-density residential. In addition, Mr. Burchfield stated that the 77.5 acre Conservation Easement would serve as a buffer between their proposed development and surrounding properties. . Streets - The proposed development is located at the comer of SH 146 and McCabe Road The developer is proposing two points of entrance/exit off McCabe Road. The General plan needs to delineate internal streets. Further coordination with TXDOT for future plans for S.H. 146 is needed. The possible addition of turn lanes on McCabe road should also be considered. Traffic Analysis: The applicant has submitted a traffic analysis study report. The report previously had taken into account a full development of 418 apartments for a build-out in 2007. It also included the Commercial Strip Center and Nature Preserve as an estimate with no other detail of their nature. The current General Plan depicts less density.
