Director reports council approvals for Shirley Tract amendment; planning commission approves consent agenda

At the City of Anna Planning and Zoning Commission meeting July 7, Director Scott Sims reported on actions the City Council took at its June 24 meeting and the commission approved its consent agenda unanimously.

Scott Sims told commissioners the council approved a third amendment to the Shirley Tract subdivision improvement agreement (related to the Hurricane Creek development). Under the amendment, the developer’s obligation to construct a restaurant, water feature and other nonresidential improvements was deleted in exchange for constructing two lanes of Stanridge Boulevard from Stockport to Rosamond. Sims said the two-lane connection is intended to improve fire and public-safety access and that the road improvement will be built within 12 months after city approval of engineering plans. “That was a really important amendment,” Sims said.

Sims also reported that the council approved the rezoning for the property at 703 East White Street and approved a zoning amendment for the Villages at Waters Creek planned development. The council denied the rezoning of the Post at Anna (the property near the northeast corner of Highway 75 and West Outer Loop) and denied the development plat for Sir Dugan City, Sims said.

On procedural business, Commissioner Herman moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and commissioners voted unanimously to approve. The meeting record shows the consent motion passed without recorded opposition.

No additional council actions or timelines beyond those reported were detailed in the director’s comments at the July 7 meeting.
