Planning Commission Considers Large Development Proposals

The commission also heard a proposal for a 233-lot PUD on 80 acres at Audubon Oaks and a prezone/annexation of 5.6 acres at Oak Place for single-family residential. Minutes have not yet been published, so no votes or decisions are available.
