that is adjusted to more accurately reflect Colleyville’s targets.

There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Pro Tem Taylor closed
the public hearing at 9:27.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff if the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z)
recommendations have been incorporated for City Council’s consideration.
Director Nusser replied part of what could be considered are the 11
recommendations, but those have not been incorporated into the November 6
draft. She stated it is at the discretion of City Council whether those 11
recommendations are incorporated into the draft.
Councilmember Wollin stated she could be in support of some of the
recommendations, such as keeping the estate type lots to maintain the rural feel
and encourage redevelopment. She stated she does not support placing the word
“average” throughout the document where 1.8 dwelling units per acre occurs. She
stated 1.8 dwelling units per acre has been approved by the citizens since 1998.
She stated she wants to leave it the way it is.
Councilmember Coplen stated being opposed to placing the word “average”
throughout as well. Councilmember Wollin suggested not adding it, since it is
currently not already there.
Councilmember Putnam stated it is important to understand that was not a P&Z
recommendation, it was the consultant that explained to the P&Z that the 1.8
average was the historical interpretation of the 2004 comprehensive plan. He
stated there is nothing that rationally defends higher density.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about the current situation relative to density.
Director Nusser replied there are several methodologies that could be used, but
they were not spelled out in the 2004 Master Plan; however, staff has done some
calculations, but again the methodology has not been established. She stated staff
analyzed the land area to just include residential zoning districts and agricultural
districts, removing all school district parcels, church, and commercial properties,
and City parks, to get a very conservative density number of 1.505 dwelling units
per acre (d.u.a.). She stated with City parks density is 1.48 d.u.a. She stated
another methodology that could be used would be to use residential utility meters,
with using the same area, would be 1.34 d.u.a., without parks. She stated with
parks would be 1.31 d.u.a. She added a Citywide average, without subtracting
those commercial areas, it would be 1.03 d.u.a. She stated staff is open to
whatever methodology City Council prefers to use.
City Council Minutes November 17, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 9
Councilmember Mogged asked staff about what percentage of the City is on less
than 20,000 square foot lots. Director Nusser replied 47 percent of all parcels are
less than 20,000 square foot lots. She stated this rough calculation includes
parcels that are common areas, unusable for open space, including commercial
areas.
Councilmember Putnam stated he would like to look at the density numbers sited
in the comprehensive plan by each neighborhood sections. He stated on page 70,
the net residential density is noted at 1.91 net d.u.a.; page 73 it is noted at 2.2
net d.u.a.; page 76 it is noted at 2.4 net d.u.a.; page 80 it is noted at 1.46 net
d.u.a.; page 82 recommends to convert larger estate lots into smaller lot
configurations where appropriate; page 84 it is noted at 1.47 net d.u.a. He then
commended staff, the committee, and City Council’s participation on the overall
comprehensive plan. He stated there are some really good parts to the plan,
especially economic development, City facilities, and the transportation plan. He
stated his overall concern was that people did not understand the intent of this
document. He stated this plan is advocacy and rationalization for creating greater
flexibility in the Land Development Code (LDC), with no less than 20 references
about the intent to modify the LDC. He stated we do not have a 1.8 maximum
standard, in that we have routinely been approving against the plan with the
smallest of loopholes, such as the density bonus loophole. He stated if we are
going to discuss revising density standards, t he discussion should be had now. He
stated the Future Land Use map should plot appropriately and define those
transitional areas. He added this plan does not go above and beyond protecting
the character of the neighborhoods.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor expressed his appreciation to citizens, staff, and all
committee members for their work on the comprehensive plan.
Councilmember Wollin stated not being in favor of revising the density, and she
also would like the transitional areas identified.
Councilmember Mogged stated this was originally pulled together so that the
density was not going to change. He stated not being aware of the change in the
1.8 d.u.a.
Councilmember Wollin stated she would like the transition areas defined with more
than just the 1,000 feet to major intersections. She stated she believes this is a
subjective number rather than a hard number. She stated transition areas need to
be discussed more.
Councilmember Coplen stated there has been an issue because P&Z does not see
the way the citizens and the City Council view PUDs and the 1.8 d.u.a.
Councilmember Putnam outlined the areas of the comprehensive plan in which it is
intended to make regulatory changes: page 3, page 4, page 14, table on page 15,
City Council Minutes November 17, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 10
page 28, page 71, page 85, page 86, and page 153. He stated there are more but
encouraged people to make their own interpretations.
Councilmember Short asked Councilmember Putnam if he has suggestions for
cleaning up the document to be more in agreement with intent of the body and the
citizens. Councilmember Putnam replied to do that you would have to go through
the document, end to end, and remove any section that implies the intent to
revise the LDC to create more flexibility in the policy.
Councilmember Coplen asked Councilmember Putnam if those are the only pages
in the document as mentioned above. Councilmember Putnam replied there are
more references.
Councilmember Putnam stated the challenge is deliberately ambiguous because it
is foreseeing a policy change, as acknowledged by City staff that the intent of this
document is to revisit the LDC to amend it. He stated it would be great if a firm
statement could be put into this document that we will adhere to the existing
policy to approve developments at 1.8 d.u.a. or lower.
Councilmember Wollin stated she would like a copy of the 2004 comprehensive
plan. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that document is available online and has been
for years.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the impact of the 1.8 d.u.a. will have to be reviewed
to see what impact it will have on the PUD concept, and all of the existing
subdivisions that would not be in place if the 1.8 d.u.a. was adhered to strictly. He
stated citizens need to know all of the impacts, since they may be living in one of
those subdivisions. He agreed that the density bonus confuses everyone. He
stated this plan is an update to the 2004 comprehensive plan, and P&Z did what
they understood. He stated if we are going to make changes, this is the time to do
it. Councilmember Putnam agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he would like staff to look at the 2004 plan,
compared to the proposed plan, and how the existing subdivisions would comply.
He stated it may be that Subsection H, within the LDC, may need to be removed.
Councilmember Mogged asked why the section would be removed. Mayor Pro Tem
Taylor stated it does not comply with the strict 1.8 d.u.a.
Councilmember Putnam stated there are two options, based on this discussion,
first option would be to consistently reassert the intent of 1.8 as the target,
reinforce this is a maximum, and then revisit the variances to define appropriate
variances to exceed the 1.8 d.u.a; second, have a discussion about a different
maximum number and plot those areas on the Future Land Use map.
Councilmember Coplen stated she likes option 1 because it is more concrete to
keep to the 1.8 d.u.a.
City Council Minutes November 17, 2015
City of Colleyville Page 11
Councilmember Putnam stated he would like to have the policy discussion now
before material changes are made to the code.
Councilmember Wollin agreed with Councilmember Putnam and stated she would
like to look at the variances. She stated she would like to make sure it is more
concrete so that everyone can understand it, including citizens and the developers.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the comprehensive plan will be going to a second
reading on December 1, 2015. He stated if everything is in order, a vote will be
taken; however, City Council has the option to table it to another meeting.
This was a first reading, therefore, City Council did not take any action.
