date. Ms. Carson gave the Commission some documents and explained that the
documents are also available online. She also gave the background of the project.
This was started last June or July; a Steering committee was appointed. The committee
interviewed three consulting firms and hired MPRG. They prepared a plan, had public
meetings, did an online survey, there was news coverage, e-news and web information.
Through the process a set of goals was determined. Ms. Canon explained what a
comprehensive plan is. Goals were outlined: maintain atmosphere, encourage new
commercial, encourage preservation of downtown, improve mixed land uses, provide

development, encourage quality residential development, and Sanger parks and trails.

Brief Discussion.
Cecile indicated the work on the zoning ordinances will start in January, and a
workshop should be held after the first of the year.
7. Workshop: Discussion on SUP application on property located at 103 Bolivar Street.
Cecile spoke on the industrial prospect for this property. She indicated that 99.9°/4 of
the project are changes that you can not see. There is a new roof. There are no changes
to the exterior, only a wall sign will be used, if a sign is used. The City has asked for
an SUP because the defmition for the business is not clearly written in the zoning
ordinance.
Ms. Carson indicated this is for an organic fertilizer packaging facility. No ammonia
or chemicals will be used. The City would also like to limit access to the rear street. U
it used, it will have to be upgraded to current subdivision standards.
The business is currently operating in Frisco.
Russell Martin inquired if there was any way to start talking-to TXDOT about a light
at FM 45S and 2a11 Street.
Ms. Carson indicated that the City Engineer is looking at a way to handle traffic.
The details in the SUP Ordinance will outline the following: not allowing use of Elm
Street, indicate where any signs will be placed, dedication of R.O. W., and no outside
storage or display.
