HISTORY:
• April 21, 2020: City Council approved a zoning change and concept plan creating Planned Development-399 District for single family, multi-family, and general retail uses (Case Number Z200401).
DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS:
The 104-lot subdivision will be accessible from Davis Drive by two proposed roads, which will transition from public right-of-way to private streets just west of the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) easement. All internal roads will also be private. It will be the responsibility of a mandatory homeowner association (HOA) to maintain the private roads.
The subdivision includes two types of residential lots: single family-four and single family-six. Lots developed under the single family-six standards will have alley service with rear garage entry. Development is subject to PD-399 and Appendix W. The following table summarizes the development standards for both types of lots.
