HISTORY: This property was zoned PD-Highway Commercial in the mid-
1990's as part of a 87 acre tract zoned for single family and flood
plain/park uses. The initial application for this PD indicated single
family for the areas adjacent to S.I-I. 121 and Denton Tap Road.
However, Highway Commercial zoning was ultimately established
on this tract to provide a buffer between the residential and the high
traffic intersections.
On May 9, 2000 the City Council approved a site plan, landscape
plan and elevations to permit the development of a 15,600 square
foot retail building on this tract.
