Nearly a dozen residents spoke out against a proposed mid-rise apartment development, the Astonia, at Spring Creek Parkway and Headquarters Drive at a regular city council meeting Monday night.
Councilwoman Andr Davidson originally voted against the item at a regular meeting on March 17, but said the next day she decided she wanted to bring the item back to the council for more thought and consideration.
"I though it was a very difficult issue, as many of us did," Davidson said at Monday's meeting. "I was very troubled with the vote that I had made and felt I had made the wrong decision on it."
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied a special use permit for the community, which would feature one-, two-and three-bedroom units. Pinnacle Housing Group applied for a 9-percent low-income tax credit for the Astonia with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs on April 15 and has until Sept. 1 to obtain the necessary zoning and special use permit in order for the state to approve the tax credit, said Shanette Brown, Plano community services manager.
