At its Dec. 12 meeting, the Lucas Planning and Zoning Commission recorded unanimous votes on several items affecting development in and around Lucas:

- Code amendment (City of Lucas Code of Ordinances, Ch. 14 — zoning, impervious coverage): Staff reported City Council had already approved the amendment; the commission opened and closed the public hearing and voted to approve the presented amendments. Motion by speaker 5; second by speaker 3; vote 5–0.
- Final plat — Enchanted Creek Estates Phase 2A: Staff said outstanding items from a prior denial were completed; the commission voted to approve the final plat. Motion by speaker 5; second by speaker 10; vote 5–0.
- Final plat — Dean Farms (27 single‑family lots): Applicant presented the project and dedicated a street name honoring the Dean family; the commission voted to approve the final plat. Motion by speaker 4; seconded; vote 5–0.
- Planned Development overlay — Hunt Tract (Parker Road/Country Club Road): The commission tabled the PD initially to allow staff and the developer to incorporate negotiated edits, then later approved the PD as amended (motion by speaker 10; second by speaker 4). Key edits included landscaping spacing and species counts, limits on certain uses by lot, monument sign height exceptions, and an 8‑foot masonry wall along portions of the property.
All recorded votes on the evening’s agenda were unanimous (5–0). Items with specific follow‑up (noted in recorded motions) will return as PD language or plats are finalized for city council or administrative action.
