ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a concept plan for an approximately 40.5 acre tract of land, located on the north side of Bloomdale Road and east of future Hardin Boulevard. Per the governing zoning ordinance (“PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 1703), a Concept Plan is required prior to the platting of the first phase of a tract(s) and must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
PLATTING STATUS: The subject property is currently unplatted. Subsequent to the approval of a preliminary plat, a final plat must be filed for recordation with the Collin County Clerk, prior to issuance of a building permit.
CONCEPT PLAN: The subject property is currently zoned “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 1703. The zoning requires concept plans to be submitted for review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
The purpose of a concept plan is to set forth the development objectives allowed under zoning criteria in a graphic or specific written manner. The proposed concept plan shows the subject property can be effectively developed with basic access and circulation needs. The attached concept plan displays the proposed lot layout for the townhome development. With the development of this lot, a preliminary plat and a final plat is required to be submitted and approved.
