Colleyville City Council adopted Destination Colleyville, an amendment to the city’s previous comprehensive plan, at its regularly scheduled Dec. 15 meeting.

The updated comprehensive plan will guide development and provide a vision for the city until 2035.

The plan includes topics such as transportation, housing, land use, economic development, city services and character of the city.

At the meeting a third public hearing was held with residents speaking for hours about various oppositions they had with the plan, and hundreds of residents attended to see what the council would decide.

The council approved the amendment with a 5-2 vote, with council members Carol Wollin and Chris Putnam casting the dissenting votes.

During the three public hearings, which were held Nov. 17, Dec. 1 and Dec. 15, two issues were made prominent: residents did not approve of any language in the proposed amendment that would allow for more dense residential properties, and they were not in favor of extending McDonwell School Road.

At the Dec. 15 meeting there were more than 200 residents who were opposed and about 10 who were in approval of the plan.

The council decided to remove the section in the plan pertaining to McDonwell before it was approved.

Although all of the language in the plan that pertained to townhomes and increasing residential density was taken out, some residents think  even with the current ordinance the City Council will continue to approve projects that are higher than 1.8 units per acre in density.
