Single Family-7) be granted on the south side of the 121 Bypass and denied, without prejudice,
your request to rezone Tract 5 from HC (Highway Commercial) to PD-MF-2 (Planned
Development, Multi-Family-2) on the property east of Denton Tap Road and north of the 121

apply to the PD-SF-7 zoning change:

There is a concern about the traffic impact that these developments may have on the
access road of S.H. 121 Bypass. Traffic signals may need to be provided to allow
vehicles to exit the subdivisions. In addition, a traffic impact analysis should be
provided to determine the impact on Denton Tap and MacArthur Blvd. by these
developments to determine if mitigation measures are required. (Note: A traffic
study has been provided and is currently being evaluated.)
