Plano\u2019s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved rezoning for city land near Los Rios Boulevard to go to the Trails of Glenwood Homeowners Association<\/a> at a meeting July 20.<\/p>\n

City Planner Ti\u2019Ara Clark said the Trails of Glenwood plans to use the extra half-acre of land for a future private recreation facility expansion. Clark said the city\u2019s parks department currently has no plans to develop the land.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Two actions taken at the planning and zoning meeting have brought the Trails of Glenwood HOA a step closer to purchasing 0.5 acres of city land.<\/p>\n

One item approved the request to rezone a total of 0.9 acres of land from agricultural to single-family residence. The second item combines a total of 1.6 acres from two plots of land into one.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The land] has been underused since 1999. It\u2019s also isolated by Los Rios Boulevard and it does have a smaller size and unique shape,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

Clark added that nearby parks like Cottonwood Creek<\/a>, Timber Brook Park<\/a> and the future Moore Park<\/a> are still publicly accessible parks residents can use.<\/p>\n

The background<\/p>\n

The half-acre of city land was first annexed and zoned as agricultural in 1999, per city documents. The city acquired the land in 2003 as part of a 6.1-acre property and constructed Los Rios Boulevard in 2004 with a majority of the land.<\/p>\n

The current private recreational facility next to the land was also annexed and zoned as agricultural in 1999, per city documents, and was rezoned as single-family residence in 2005. The current amenity center was approved in 2007 and constructed in 2008.<\/p>\n

A portion of the city\u2019s land was used to construct a basketball court next to the facility with the agreement that the HOA would maintain the land, according to the Trails of Glenwood website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Future use of the land will be collectively decided by the homeowners of the community and purchased with $20,000 from the association\u2019s reserves, according to the Trails of Glenwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plano\u2019s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved rezoning for city land near Los Rios Boulevard to go to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[134683,19044,134684,101487,160,162,161,74725,134682,134680,134681],"class_list":["post-381435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-city-land","tag-city-of-plano","tag-construction-near-los-rios-boulevard","tag-los-rios-boulevard","tag-plano","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-plano-planning-and-zoning","tag-recreation-facility-trails-of-glenwood","tag-trails-of-glenwood","tag-trails-of-glenwood-hoa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
