Senior planner Troy Winn presented proposed corrections and targeted amendments to the Imagine Irving future‑land‑use map adopted in 2017. The changes are primarily to correct mapping errors and clarify long‑term intentions for several parcels.
Examples include reclassifying Gilbert and Good Elementary Schools (and La Vida Elementary and Kinkade pre‑K) as public/semi‑public school sites instead of traditional‑neighborhood on the map; changing small areas from traditional neighborhood to compact neighborhood where zoning is RZL; converting a small retail area behind a Target shopping center back to regional commercial; and reclassifying the Salvation Army and adjacent small retail from regional commercial to local commercial/traditional neighborhood to reflect local‑serving retail rather than regional retail.
Staff said most corrections are minor, administrative and intended to preserve existing school and multifamily sites and to avoid encouraging redevelopment where current uses are functioning. The presenter said roughly two dozen sites are under consideration across multiple rounds; the package discussed at this meeting contains about a dozen simpler corrections with additional, more complicated sites to be brought forward later.
Why it matters: future‑land‑use map corrections shape what zoning requests will be considered consistent with the comprehensive plan and guide long‑term development expectations for neighborhoods.
Ending: Staff said it will return the corrections to the commission for a recommendation at the next meeting and then forward them to City Council for final action. Commissioners thanked staff for the detailed, corrective work.
