Consider the application of the City of Garland, requesting approval of a Change in Zoning from Planned Development (PD) 99-44 District for Cluster and Patio Homes to Single-Family Attached (SFA) District (townhouses). This property is located at 2901 Arapaho Road. (File No. Z 18-49, District 7)
Being a tract of land situated in the FREDERICK MOSS SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 941 in the City of Garland, Dallas County, Texas and being a part of that land conveyed to William F.
