Chairman Floyd closed the public hearing.
Chairman Floyd asked what the Commission's options are regarding this replat. Assistant City
Attorney Robinson stated that the Commission's decision is based on the same standard as with
platting. She explained that if the plat meets all the requirements, then it is the ministerial duty
of the Commission to approve the plat.
Commissioner White motioned for approval. Commission McMath seconded the motion.
Development Services Director Templin stated that the state is not obligated to approve any
number of driveways on the bypass because the Commission has approved it and neither Staff
nor the Commission has TxDOT's duties within their purview. It is Staff s perspective that this
replat has met the requirements for both the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance.
Chairman Floyd called the question. The motion carried 6-0-1, with Chairman Floyd abstaining.

Staff Planner Flanery presented the Staff Report. She stated that the applicant is requesting the
rezoning to allow for the construction of a project that will contain residential and commercial
uses. She added that Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Ms. Flanery explained that the
property is on the border between the NG-3 and NG-1 zoning boundary and currently has four
duplex dwellings on it that will be removed to allow for the new construction. Additionally, with
the encouragement of the Economic Development Department, Ms. Flanery reported that the
applicant has proposed a mixed used development with retail uses and residential uses in the
