TCAAP Zoning <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that at the November 3, 2014, City <br />Council work session, the Council discussed its vision for the Hill and Creek neighborhoods. <br />Specifically, the Council supported single-family housing with varying lot sizes on the Hill and <br />Creek neighborhoods with lot sizes increasing and density decreasing as development moved <br />away from the Town Center and water resources corridor. A limited amount of townhomes may <br />be acceptable in the Hill neighborhood in locations close to the water resources corridor or along <br />the eastern perimeter of the site. The City Council directed staff to revise the draft TCAAP zoning <br />to reflect the Council’s vision. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that two options have been drafted for <br />City Council consideration. In both options, new definitions have been created. Also, new <br />districts have been added to the Regulating Map with corresponding changes to the proposed land <br />use table.
