WHAT IS THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY STAFF? YES, SIR. MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THE FIRST THREE ITEMS TOGETHER. THEY'RE ALL SUBDIVISION PLATS WITH THE SAME RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS. SO I'LL GO THROUGH ALL THREE OF THEM, AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND VOTE ON THEM TOGETHER. SO THE THE THREE SUBDIVISION OF PLATS, THE FIRST ONE IS FINAL PLAT OF THE VILLAGE ADDITION PHASE FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS A THE FOURTH PHASE OF THE VILLAGE SUBDIVISION AND THE RITCHIE ROAD CORRIDOR. YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP THERE. IT'S AT THE. AT THE BACK OF THE SUBDIVISION OFF RITCHIE ROAD, AND COMES IN. IT'S A MAINLY A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION. THERE ARE SOME COMMERCIAL USES ALONG RITCHIE ROAD AND SOME TOWNHOUSES. THIS PHASE WOULD BE FOR 82 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, 100 100FT IN WIDTH PLUS, WHICH ACTUALLY IS A LITTLE LARGER THAN WHAT WAS FIRST SUBMITTED WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN. SO IT'S A LESS DENSE THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY APPROVED. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE LAYOUT HERE. [00:05:06] AGAIN, IT'S JUST SINGLE FAMILY LOTS THERE. THE SECOND ONE SECOND PLAT IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WILLOW BEND. ADDITION PART TWO, PHASE ONE. THIS IS A ANOTHER SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION OFF CHINA SPRING ROAD HIGHWAY IN THE WILLOW BEND ADDITION. THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE LAST VACANT TRACTS OF WILLOW BEND. THIS PART WILL BE IS MULTIFAMILY ZONING, BUT WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR SINGLE FAMILY. AND THERE'S STILL SOME COMMERCIAL. ALONG CHINA SPRING ROAD TO BE DEVELOPED. SO THIS WILL BE FOR 84 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS. AND THEY'RE 50 FOOT IN WIDTH. YOU CAN SEE THE LAYOUT THERE. AND THEN THE LAST PLAT IS THE AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE LARIAT. ADDITIONS LOTS ONE THROUGH 12 BLOCK ONE. THIS IS OFF OF NEW ROAD. YOU'LL HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS BEFORE. THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THAT HIGHLY DEVELOPED AREA ALONG NEW ROAD NEAR I-35. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE ZONING PATTERN OF IT, A MIX OF DIFFERENT DENSITY, MULTIFAMILY AND THEN COMMERCIAL ALONG THE FRONTAGE. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE LAYOUT THERE.

ORIGINALLY WHEN Y'ALL SAW THIS, IT WAS TEN LOTS. THEY'VE DIVIDED THE MULTIFAMILY LOTS IN FROM 2 TO 4. AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S COMING BACK TO YOU, AS I MENTIONED, ALL OF THESE PLOTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THERE'S JUST SOME ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED ON EACH ONE OF THOSE. THOSE CAN BE FIXED AND HANDLED THROUGH STAFF.
