1. Regular Item #2
13913 FM 2154
Comprehensive Plan Amendment

4. Estate
“Generally for areas that, due to public service
limitations or a prevailing rural character,
should have limited development activities.
These areas will tend to consist of low-density
single-family residential lots (average 20,000
square feet) clustered around open space or
large lots (minimum one acre).”
- Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2009

5. General Commercial
“Generally for concentrations of commercial
activities that cater to both nearby residents
and to the larger community or region.
Generally, these areas tend to be large in size
and located near the intersection of two
regionally significant roads (arterials and
freeways). It is preferred that in such areas
development be concentrated in nodes rather
than spread out in strips.”
- Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2009
