Mayor Moore introduced a discussion regarding possible revisions to the PDD provisions of the adopted Sector Two Plan. Mr. Taylor explained the process the City has gone through for adoption of the Sector Two Plan. Mayor Moore stated Dr. Weatherford's request to change the PDD Zoning explaining he was having difficulty with the development of his property. Ron Patterson explained that very complex issues can be dealt with in using PDD zoning, which was agreed to as a result of the charrette process. Mr. Patterson stated PDD required a site plan up front which would allow minor administrative changes to occur. He explained any substantial changes would have to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Moore asked about a variance of PDD. Mr. Patterson explained the landowner is not the developer in this case. Jake Isaac stated he understood the entire tract was to be developed PDD and he was concerned with the Parkland. He said Dr. Weatherford agreed to the PDD zoning and felt he should stand by his word. He stated he would be willing to renegotiate so the area would all be "R-l" Zoning. Dr. Weatherford stated PDD Zoning was not listed as one of the Resolutions in the charrette process or he would not have agreed to the plan. Mr. Hart stated he understood conventional zoning was not going to get approved in the process; however, he felt an agreement had been met by all parties. Mr. Cox stated anytime a large acreage area wants to be developed with commercial zoning in a residential area it would raise concern. Dr. Weatherford stated PDD was not agreed to in the original terms of the charrette and feels there should be new resolutions. Mr. Hesalroad stated Dr. Weatherford agreed to PDD Zoning before the Council at the January 9, 1998, Council meeting. Mr. Hart stated he was not interested in sending the issue to the Planning and Zoning Commission and felt the case of the five acres currently zoned "R-l" should be dealt with by the Planning and Zoning Commission as a separate item. Mr. Taylor explained the Planning and Zoning Commission had the authority to move forward on "R-l" for the single family tract. It was a consensus of the Council not to send this item back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Moore introduced the City Manager's Report. Mr. Gilley had no report at this meeting. Mayor Moore introduced the City Attorney's Report. Mr. Taylor stated in regard to downtown parking, he is studying the possiblity of hang tags for visitors. He is working on possible ordinance provisions and will present information to the Council to make a determination. Mr. Mihalkanin stated the City of McKinney uses hang tags and suggested Mr. Taylor look at their
