Diane Johnson, Principal Planner
Diane Johnson presented the staff report.
Peter Verdicchio, Applicant with SEC Planning, approached the podium to address the
Commission and established that they had come before the Commission in 2020 and
were denied at their second reading at Council. Since then, ROW has been dedicated
for the expansion of Rabbit Hill Road to address traffic concerns. Townhomes have
replaced their original low -density MF plan to giver more of a transitional land use.
Chair Perthuis asked if the Applicant could speak to the public comments made
regarding runoff from the site. Verdicchio established that state law prohibits them
from increasing runoff from the site.
Commissioner Dickey asked what the future plans for Rabbit Hill Road are. Travis Baird
established that it is in active development, and our Engineering Department is working
on utility relocation in the area. The existing project is funded and in the early stages of
development.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Gwen Scott, 512 Clearview Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission and
established that her property is adjacent to the subject property, and her primary concern
is the powerline easement. Scott notes that there are seasonal springs in the area, and
her land has been flooded in the past due to a poorly designed culvert. She is concerned
that more development in the area would push more runoff onto her property.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.

zoning district to a Planned Unit Development with the base zoning districts of 18 acres of
the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district, 38.5 acres of the General Commercial (C-3)

(2022-13-PUD). Ryan Clark, AICP, Senior Planner
Ryan Clark presented the staff report.
Commissioner Dickey asked if the school district was consulted regarding this project.
Clark established that City staff does not require it, but the Applicant is able to reach out
to them. The school district will often proactively reach out to developing communities in
their jurisdiction.
Amanda Brown, Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and
spoke to the location of the property and the surrounding area, as well as transportation
plans for Sam Houston, Rockride, and Bell Gin Rd. The C-3 portion of the PUD was
placed on the east side since it is closer to IH 130 and the Lawhon PUD. Brown noted
that the park is the focal point of this PUD, and the MF design is mroe urban than garden
style. The MF-1 development standards reduce the density to transition from single family
to an increased density. Brown spoke to the potential park amenities, pedestrian
connectivity, and buffers.
Alternate Allen asked for clarification on where the 10 and 5 foot sidewalks are located.
Brown clarified that 10 foot sidewalks are along Ridgeline, while 5 foot sidewalks are
within the development.
Alternate Price asked if Rockride will be able to handle the increased traffic. Brown
noted that the site will be dedicating ROW, and a TIA and impact fees will be required.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers coming forth.
Moved by Stephen F Dickey; seconded by Travis Perthuis to Deny the request.
Chair Perthuis noted that he likes the spacing and deviations from the UDC, but he has
issues with the MF-2 portion. Commissioner Dickey echoed these comments.
