Waxahachie Daily Light
A zoning change for a 209-home development at 401 Ovilla Road was unanimously approved with conditions during Tuesday night’s meeting of the Waxahachie Planning and Zoning Commission.
Following a lengthy public hearing, commissioners approved a planned development for a new neighborhood known as Dominion Park. The commission added the condition that construction styles should be a mix of no less than 15 percent contemporary, 15 percent modern farm, 15 percent traditional and 15 percent Tudor, with the market dictating the remaining 40 percent of homes.
Also, fences should be wrought iron on the west side of the subdivision with wood fences on the north and south lots. Another condition, suggested by chairman Rick Keeler, was added that specifies that no houses of similar architectural style be closer than six lots apart.
Planned development at U.S. 287, child care SUP get nods

In a very short meeting on Tuesday night, the Waxahachie Planning and Zoning Commission approved two replats, a special-use permit for an existing child care facility and a zoning change for a planned development.
In a matter that drew brief but pointed discussion, a replat of a 0.371-acre property into two lots at 604 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was approved. The former residence on that site has been demolished and no new development has taken place since. A right-of-way waiver of 10 feet was also granted.
Commissioner Betty Square Coleman objected to the small size of the two resulting lots, saying that one house on the larger existing lot would be more attractive. However, Chairman Rick Keeler said the construction on the two subdivided lots would match the homes that were across the street.
