Several projects on UG Commission meeting agenda Thursday

Several planning and zoning projects are on the Unified Government Commission agenda for Thursday, Jan. 7.

One project on 98th Street will have 270 multi-family units. The project at 1111 N. 98th St. is asking for a change of zone from agriculture to a planned apartment district for 270 multi-family units. Also, there is a master plan amendment for this same address from entertainment to medium density residential.

Also on the agenda is the approval of a plat of Ruffins Lot at Kansas Avenue and I-635, which is being developed by Phillip G. Ruffin, the former Woodlands owner, who also owns Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and is a part owner with Donald Trump of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

The Homefields project, being built on the Schlitterbahn property near 94th and State Avenue, will be back on the agenda for the passage of an ordinance to issue sales tax special obligation revenue bonds. Although this already passed Dec. 17, it is back on the agenda because the electronic agenda Dec. 17 did not have the updated version of the ordinance.
