ITEM NO. 1: Joint public hearing of the City Council and the Planning and
Zoning Commission to consider amendments to the Basic Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Coppell.

corrections to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City. He then
declared the public hearing open and asked for those persons who wished to
speak for any proposed changes. There were none. He asked if there were any
persons who wished to speak against any proposed changes. Again, there were
none. The public hearing was then declared closed. Discussion was held by
the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission concerning the proposed changes
in the Multi -Family and Townhouse District classifications. Following dis-
cussion on this item, Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Ray Smedul asked
if there was a recommendation to be made to the Council. Commissioner Weaver
moved that if a developer uses the progressive element of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance, then the requirements of that classification that is to
be built will be used rather than the requirements of the zoned property and
furthermore, that if the progressive element of the Comprehensive Zoning Ord-
inance is used, that a site plan will be submitted at the same time as the
zoning change request; Commissioner Adams seconded the motion which carried 4-0.
Mayor Brown then asked for a motion from the Council on the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation. Councilman Thompson moved that the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission be accepted; Mayor Pro Tem Mayo seconded
and motion carried 4-0. Councilman White was not in the Council chambers at
