The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 20 voted to continue two agenda items related to a Carrollton–Farmers Branch ISD agricultural education project to the commission's March 20 meeting.

The items were a planned development rezoning request (PD-322-A) to allow construction of a new 14,000-square-foot education building and an approximately 21,800-square-foot metal barn and butterfly/education stations on about 41.63 acres along the north side of Sandy Lake Road, and the companion plat that would create the development lots. Mary Boswell, a community development staff member, told the commission the applicant requested the continuance and waived any platting time requirement for recordation.

The continuance gives the applicant additional time to finalize changes staff and the commission discussed in an earlier review. Commissioners opened the public hearing and then voted to continue rather than close the matter for decision.

Commission Chair Edmund Haas moved to continue both items to March 20; Commissioner Sue Blankenship seconded. The roll call showed the motion passed with all members present voting "aye." The commission recorded the continuance and will expect the applicant to appear on the March 20 agenda with updated materials.

No substantive public testimony or final action on the zoning change or plat was taken on Feb. 20; the hearing remains open and the record will carry forward to March 20.
