Public Hearing Agenda
Public Hearing 1 — Herzog Development ZC 2017-01
Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding
an amendment to PD 2006-01 to allow R7.0 and R8.4 zoning categories for single-
family residential development on approximately 104.15 acres, generally located
between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway approximately 1200 feet south of
FM544. ZC 2017-01.
Staff Presentation
Mr. Haskins stated that the applicant is requesting to amend PD 2006-01 to allow
7,000 square foot (R7.0) and 8,400 square foot (R8.4) single family zoning categories
on approximately 105 acres of land. The land is generally located south of FM 544
between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway, directly south of the property that
includes Target and Kohl's.
The planned development initially envisioned a combination of retail, retirement
living, and a large sports complex. However, the sports complex portion of the
development never materialized.
The proposed revisions would add two single family categories to the PD and would
allow for lots sizes of 7,000 and 8,400 square foot minimums with minimum house
sizes of 2,000 and 2,200 respectively.
Mr. Haskins reviewed the significant differences from standard zoning, including lot
width, the size of the home; the lot depth; setbacks; and masonry requirement.
The Parks Board approved the park improvements which propose a new city park and
nearly 9,000 square feet of hike and bike trails through the proposed subdivision. The
hike and bike trails will connect to the trail in Murphy allowing direct pedestrian
access to Breckenridge Park in Richardson.
If this proposed Planned Development and a forthcoming Planned Development
amendment for property directly to the east are approved, in addition to the park
improvements, the developer will be required to construct Hensley Lane from Hooper
Road to McCreary Road.
Public comment forms were mailed to twenty-three property owners with no
responses returned at the time of posting.
Board Discussion
Mr. Don Herzog, Herzog Development Corporation, 800 E Campbell Road, Suite
130, Richardson, applicant, gave a presentation, noting the multiple newly adopted
Planned Developments that are 1400 feet away from the proposed development.
Mr. Herzog stated that Woodbridge Development is very successful with variety of
lot sizes and home sizes. A six foot masonry screen wall will separate the proposed

development and Hensley Lane. There is an existing wood screening fence adjacent
to the commercial sites to the north.
The Commissioners discussed the masonry reduction. Mr. Herzog clarified the I 1
plateline brick and that the planned development proposes to use hardiplank on
homes that are two stories.
Commissioner Owens questioned the wording on lot area as defined in the planned
development conditions for R7.0 Single Family. Mr. Herzog stated that the wording
should be seven thousand (7,000) and not seven thousand nine hundred (7,900).
Public Comments
Chair Smith opened the Public Hearing.
Ms. Rhonda Mcclure, 3303 Ellington Drive, Sachse, spoke in opposition of the
request due to high volume of traffic already on McCreary Road, and questioned if
Hensley Lane and Springwell Parkway will be expanded.
Mr. Porter, City Engineer, stated that there is no funding or plans to expand
Springwell Parkway.
Mr. Herzog stated that the south side of McCreary Road will be expanded in the
Third Phase of the development.
Chair Smith closed the Public Hearing.
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Owens and seconded by Commissioner
Meyers to recommend approval to the City Council regarding amendment to PD
2006-01, Zoning Case 2017-01, with correction to Planned Development 5.6.b Lot
Area — The minimum area of any lot shall be seven thousand (7,000) square feet.
