Density Residential on the northern portion of the property (approximately
1 acre) adjacent to Remuda Court. The southern portion would remain

than 1 acre adjacent to Remuda Court and one lot of approximately 1 acre
adjacent to Johnson Road.
C. Change the Low Density Residential land use designation to Medium
Density Residential on the southern portion of the property (approximately
