The Planning Commission needed less than 30 minutes to conduct business Sept. 26 as discussion of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for low rent housing units on Passion Play Road was postponed. According to City Economic Development Coordinator Glenna Booth, the application “needs looking over.”
Commissioners agreed they need to know more about what City Code says regarding PUDs, and commissioner Tom Buford said the developer might want to turn the property into a subdivision at some point in the future, so the commission should be prepared. Commissioners asked what kinds of conditions could they impose, for example.
Chair Melissa Greene suggested they add PUDs to their homework list.
