Park in 1986 and 1990, including the property currently requested
for rezoning. In connection with the annexation proceedings, the
City held public hearings to establish the existing zoning and
reinforced those decisions by adopting a new Official Zoning Map
in 1991 as part of Ordinance 91500, the current Zoning Ordinance.
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, a six-lane divided (120 foot r.o.w.);
currently, a two-lane roadway; the S.H. 121 Bylmss will be built

COMP~SIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows this property outside
the boundaries of the planning area.
DISCUSSION:
Action on the proposed preliminary plat is dependent upon the results of

Independent School District proposes to acquire is not rezoned, and if the
remaining property south of the Highway 121 Bypass is rezoned as
separate planned development districts, the proposed plat cannot be
approved. The area of 5000-square-foot lots will exceed 35% of the
property.

recommends disapproval of this preliminary pht and hter consideration
of a revised preliminary pht under the same application.
