Analysis of Proposed vs. Current Zoning
1.The development plan make a greater effort to avoid grading into the landmark land
forms and steep grades {over 10%) including the hill promontory points. When addressing
the landmark landform, structural retention should be avoided and grade transition
accomplished with stable slopes where possible.
2.The development should more clearly identify that portion of the "Cross Timbers
Community" being demolished/ preserved and identify clear areas of preservation ... a Cross
Timbers preservation plan.
3.The developer commit to elimination of small lot pads {even though these are smaller
lots) by requiring that the grade transitions between lots be accommodated within the
architectural envelope. This also complies with our Building Quality Manual and
accomplishes the "intent" of large lot zoning categories.
4.The developer illustrate how any portion of the City Open Space Plan is being
accommodated. Certainly any future site plan adva1nced by any other developer would be
subject to the same requirement. This is a quality of life, and therefore economic
development, issue.
