The Arlington Planning and Zoning Commission held a Plat Agenda session on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 5:38 PM in the City Hall Council Chamber. The meeting included a moment of silence for Dr. Clark, the Pledge of Allegiance, approval of minutes, and consideration of two consent agendas: plats to be approved with conditions and plats to be disapproved or denied. All items were approved unanimously with one abstention on a specific plat.
Note: Jorge Baragan was present and wished to speak in support of a replat, but the item had already been approved, so he did not address the commission.
But for me, I worked with Robert Ellerton Memorial Hospital delivering babies for decades. I knew him very well. I often tell people that Dr. Clark was one of my role models. He could be rough around the edges like I am sometimes, maybe. But I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and on uh prayers for his wife and his family. But please bow your heads for a moment of silence, please. Amen. Now, if y'all will please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, and Commissioner Blake will lead us. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Thank you very much. Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
