The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to approve the preliminary plat for Attaway Crossing (PZ‑24‑22), a mixed residential and commercial subdivision at the northwest corner of Hunt Highway and Attaway Road.

Project and approvals

Maricela presented the application and noted the preliminary plat covers roughly 47 gross acres and would create about 518 single‑family lots in the residential portion; the overall density reported for the full PUD was about 3.5 dwelling units per acre (4.06 du/acre for residential areas). Typical lot sizes shown in the packet are 45×115 and 50×115 feet.

Fire access and transportation changes

The applicant, Doug Chubin of Cohen Van Lieu Consultants, told the commission the design team revised the entry and moved a traffic circle farther north to increase separation from Hunt Highway following prior comments. To meet the fire department’s interpretation of a required second point of entry, the applicant extended Attaway Road northward to create a T intersection at the east side of the site; staff and the technical advisory committee confirmed compliance with access standards.

Chubin also said the team re-ran traffic counts using a February count (instead of summer counts) and adjusted the traffic impact study accordingly; the revised counts showed a slightly higher afternoon peak than the original summer sample but supported the proposed measures.

Votes and conditions

Commissioner Lehman moved to approve the preliminary plat with staff recommendations; Commissioner Proulx seconded and the commission voted 4-0. Staff will require standard roadway improvements, landscaping, civil plans and continued TAC review of technical issues.

Ending

Commissioners requested alignment checks where the plat abuts existing neighborhoods to improve pedestrian connections and police visibility; the applicant said final engineering will incorporate those details. Staff confirmed concurrence with the applicant on the final set of conditions.
