REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subject tract was
included in the recent exempt areas annexation that became effective on March 29, 2008.
The property began developing in 2006 as Creek Meadows subdivision and the approved
Master Plan shows single-family detached, duplex, commercial, and open space uses. City
Council approved the extension of sewer service to this area in 2005 to support the
proposed uses. The Planned Development designation is being pursued so that the owner
may rezone the property in compliance with his Master Plan and continue to develop.
2. Compatibility with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan: The dense, urban style
development is not compatible with the rural residential and large agricultural development
in the area, and with the Rural Residential designation. The City may also need to look at

upgrading the thoroughfare classification of Greens Prairie Road West and Greens Prairie
Trail to accommodate this density.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Because the subject tract has developed outside the City's land use control authority when it
was in the ETJ, and its proposed density and intensity of uses were accommodated by the
extension of sewer service by the City, Staff recommends approval
