SUBJECT:
A request to assign zoning to the proposed IH-10 East Limited Purpose Annexation Area
SUMMARY:
Public hearing and consideration of the proposed zoning (case #Z2015298 CD S) for the IH-10 East Limited Purpose Annexation Area.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On December 4, 2014, the City Council directed staff to prepare studies and bring forward the IH-10 East Area for Limited Purpose Annexation.
