Planning staff said the proposal would reduce density in the affected area — from 93 townhome lots to 49 single‑family detached lots — by creating larger lots. Staff described three minor text amendments associated with the planned‑development change: correcting wording that currently reads as a \"maximum number of SF60 lots as 250\" (staff said the intent was to reference a minimum), adjusting lot‑depth standards (the area had been platted as an SF‑townhome product with shorter depth), and ensuring lot areas meet a 120‑foot depth and 6,000‑square‑foot area where required. Staff recommended approval of the ordinance amendment as submitted, and noted the request conformed to the future land‑use plan and the downtown master plan.

The commission opened the public hearing; no public comments or speaker cards were received. Commissioners asked technical questions about street connections and plan details; staff replied that a road connection to FM 2862 had been removed and a street alignment shifted during civil plan revisions, and that one of the previously requested over‑length street waivers had been handled in earlier civil plans.

Related plat items were considered in sequence. The commission held a public hearing for Coyote Meadows Phase 1C (a replat) because that plat had already been recorded; staff said it is associated with the zoning request and recommended approval. The commission also considered Coyote Meadows Phase 2B (preliminary plat), which staff said does not require a public hearing because it has not yet been filed; staff recommended approval contingent on the zoning amendment. Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the zoning amendment, the Phase 1C replat and the Phase 2B preliminary plat; roll‑call votes recorded support from the commissioners present and the motions passed.

Ending: Staff will forward the commission's recommendations to City Council where required for final action on zoning and any recorded‑plat corrections.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Anna - Planning and Zoning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 4 recommended approval of a planned‑development amendment for TFCC Coyote LLC to replace a portion of 93 townhome lots with 49 larger single‑family detached (SF60) lots and approved related replat and preliminary‑plat items for Coyote Meadows.","taxTitle","Anna, Collin County, Texas","taxId",61204,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6586408,"Commission approves waiver request for long cul-de-sac in 3 Creeks Ranch Estates; subject to council waiver",124,366000,490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528617-38c47423d2e179794c017bdd87faa85b&start=366&end=490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528617-38c47423d2e179794c017bdd87faa85b/thumbnail_366000.jpg","/articles/6586408/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/Commission-approves-waiver-request-for-long-cul-de-sac-in-3-Creeks-Ranch-Estates-subject-to-council-waiver","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586408-4f25c34b0e7b1d3d8b7c4b4087f1359b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770970460&Signature=UUScS-WSaHumuG5KTczZQhnWGZGc0cDUG0044BMsar5HgpIpmAuAWqH3EC55mMXlbhNW0qSIEu5hxZlI~JQm--m87wMo-DrWOalvjbU~LCX1qP~XU60RVfp8cmvSC38arM7EXmVSNXIWASTJHE7vr-qmOqviYVgKxn7wsKxBFiLY-YQyQJkelkGxtHa3l1CHT2zDTGhfCGc-cZUyABUKNlf19~iZeF0XVZB0tKNS8bMj4M73vwpI7xvPNGpijZQ1UACtkitxXeYWmmU5m4FQdcw500kB8s2MhAh2vYSmQSSlWXSUtiAXP87qVyl9hckiRQBz0Ad4ZuM9YbGltu3UJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 4 recommended approval of a replat for 3 Creeks Ranch Estates Block A, Lots 1–10, and recommended approval of a waiver for a cul‑de‑sac length that exceeds the city's 400–600‑foot limit. The property is in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction on the far west edge of the city's mapped area, staff said.

Planning staff told the commission the remainder of the plat conforms to city standards but that the cul‑de‑sac length exceeds the regulation. Staff recommended approval of the waiver \"subject to approval of the waiver from council,\" and noted that City Council must act on the waiver request.

Applicants Michael and Crystal Willoughby were present but did not make remarks. Commissioners asked no substantive technical questions of the applicant and moved to approve the replat and waiver recommendation.

A roll-call vote was taken. Commissioners Martin, Deidrenette, Herman, Longmire and Stewart voted yes; Commissioner Walden was recorded as absent earlier in the meeting. The motion passed and will be forwarded to City Council for final action on the waiver.

Mecke said recent action by the City Council also affected development work the commission had previously recommended. \"City Council took action on the multifamily complex that you made a recommendation for approval. Council denied the item,\" Mecke said, adding there had been \"a lot of discussion about the historic nature of downtown.\" She said staff and the commission will need to follow up to clarify how the downtown master plan and two downtown zoning districts apply to future proposals.

Mecke reviewed several state law changes she said take effect Sept. 1 and that will affect boards and commissions. She said the changes include a requirement to post meeting agendas three business days in advance (rather than a 72-hour rule currently used for some bodies), larger minimum zoning sign sizes that will require a text amendment to the city's zoning ordinance, and a change in public-response thresholds tied to supermajority voting for certain zoning cases. Mecke said that, under the new rules for particular residential cases, the response threshold cited in current city practice will change from 20% to 60%.

Mecke also told the commission the city will require applicants, rather than city staff, to post larger zoning signs when the new sign-size rules take effect. She said that change will require a text amendment to the zoning ordinance and staff will bring that amendment forward for commission review.

One change Mecke identified as notable was that the Planning and Zoning Commission can no longer serve as the Impact Fee Advisory Committee. Mecke said the last time the commission acted in that advisory committee role was 2022 and that the city will need to identify an alternate advisory body going forward.

Mecke closed by saying the department will continue normal operations during the staffing change and will coordinate follow-up briefings or policy amendments as needed.

Ending: Mecke invited commissioners to raise questions; none were raised that required action at the Aug. 4 meeting.","Planning Manager Lauren Mecke told the Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 4 that senior planner Scott Sims has left the department and summarized several state law changes and local procedural items that will affect the commission beginning Sept. 1.","actionData","errors"]
