Summary

The commission recommended approval of an amendment to PDD-76 (Tract 3) to allow townhomes and patio homes; agent BJ Pritchard said the change is primarily about setback flexibility, and some neighbors urged preference for detached homes.

Adam Holland, planner, presented a request by EHT Engineering to amend the terms of PDD-76 to allow patio homes and townhomes within Tract 3. Adam said staff found the request consistent with planning principles and recommended approval.

Applicant agent BJ Pritchard told commissioners the amendment gives the developer additional flexibility on setbacks and could expand housing options near Dyess; several nearby residents spoke, asking for detached single-family homes rather than additional townhomes. Commissioners discussed the mixture of housing types in the area and ultimately voted to recommend approval.
