Clovis Planning Commission Regular Meeting - April 8, 2026
The Clovis Planning Commission met on April 8, 2026, with all seven commissioners present. The agenda was approved unanimously, as were the minutes from the March 11, 2026 meeting. Two subdivision-related requests were considered and both received unanimous approval.
Discussion Items
1. Request for Approval of Preliminary Plat – Subdivision in Section 13, Township 2N, Range 35E, TR NW 4, 45
Staff member Michael Perkins presented the request. The subdivision will include commercial, residential, and multifamily tracts. A stormwater management plan will be submitted during the building permit process. All roadways will be constructed to municipal standards and dedicated to the city. No protest letters were received from adjoining property owners. Janet Lidick, the engineer for the developer Dr. Gafari, testified that utilities are in place and that Delta Street will be extended through the subdivision to maintain open access to the adjacent city park. A commissioner asked a question about a retention basin from the Department of Transportation, but the response was not recorded in the transcript. The commission approved the preliminary plat.
2. Request for Approval of Replat – Morse Edition Block 8, Lot 13 (2516 East 14th Street)
Staff member Michael Perkins presented the request to split the existing lot (14,144 square feet) into two equal lots, each with an existing triplex. The property is zoned Residential Multifamily. All setbacks continue to be met after the split. Staff review required no changes, and no adjoining property owners protested. The commission approved the replat.
Key Outcomes

- Approval of the replat (motion by Commissioner London, second by Commissioner Garza; unanimous).
- The next regular meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

Subdivision, Section Thirteen, Township Zero Two North, Range Thirty Five East, TR Northwest Four, Forty Five. All roadways within the subdivision are to be constructed to the current municipal standards and are dedicated to the public once accepted by the City of Clovis. All public roadways and utility services are to be provided to each lot within the subdivision by the developer prior to sale. Stormwater management plan for each separate development within this subdivision will be submitted as part of the building permit process to the City of Clovis for review and approval. Final plates with sanitary sewer and street plans will be prepared as a part of each unit development and submitted to city staff for approval. This subdivision does not lie within a flip hazard area. A staff review was performed on February 12th, 2026, uh, in which requests were made and have been applied to this preliminary plat request. This request meets the standards of chapters 17.65, section 17.65.070, and appendix A of the city's unified development ordinance and is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. All adjoining property owners within 100 feet of the affected area were notified with zero responding in protest. There is no compelling evidence that there would be a threat to public safety, health, and welfare, which is or any that are unique to the proposed request. Also, uh several of the people in this area contacted me and asked if the uh developer was interested in buying their lots as well. Uh Mr. Leidick, is there anything you would like to add to this or talk about it? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll be brief.
