A request to rezone about 180.7 acres of agricultural land for single-family homes leads the agenda for Melissa's Planning and Zoning Commission when it meets Thursday, Oct. 8.
The land sits at the southeast corner of County Road 413 and County Road 471. The applicant is asking to change it from Agricultural District zoning to a planned development based on the city's SF-3 single-family residential district, according to the agenda posted Sept. 30. The agenda does not name the applicant or say how many homes are planned.
The commission will hold a public hearing and then make a recommendation; the City Council has the final vote.
Downtown lots
Two smaller cases are in the downtown overlay district, where the city has been planning a walkable mixed-use core and has started its District 46 street rebuild.
- 2802 McKinney Street: about a third of an acre would move from SF-3 residential to a planned development with General Commercial (C-2) zoning, still inside the Downtown Overlay District's Commercial Mixed Use area.
- 3311 Fannin Road: a 0.151-acre piece of the Melissa School Subdivision would get the same change, from residential to planned development with C-2 commercial zoning.
Both also go through public hearings before a recommendation to the council.
