Summary of Proceedings

Killeen Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting – October 26, 2026

The Killeen Planning and Zoning Commission convened on October 26, 2026. A workshop began at 4:36 p.m., followed by the regular meeting at 5:16 p.m. in the Utility Collections Large Conference Room. The commission unanimously approved two zoning requests and reappointed Patrick Purifoy as Chairman and Andrew Giacomozzi as Vice-Chairman. New commissioners James Sills and Ken Wilkerson were introduced. Commissioners Pierfoy and Jones were absent from the regular meeting.

Workshop and Staff Training

  • Assistant City Attorney Dan Marasa provided orientation on legal standards for conflict of interest, Open Meetings Act compliance, and board procedures. New commissioners were directed to complete state training.
  • Staff reported on recent City Council actions: the adoption of the North Killeen Revitalization Overlay District (October 20) and approval of zoning cases Z26-16, Z26-17, and Z26-18 (October 8). Case Z26-13 was withdrawn and resubmitted.

Public Hearings

  • PH-1: 5505 Bunny Trail (Case Z26-21): The applicant requested a rezoning of 1.44 acres from R-1 to B-2 to allow for a bakery. Staff recommended approval, noting consistency with the Killeen 2040 Comprehensive Plan. No public comments were received. The commission approved the request unanimously (motion by Commissioner Alvarez, second by Commissioner Cooper).
  • PH-2: Featherline Road (Case Z26-22): The applicant requested a rezoning of roughly 1.117 acres from R-1 and B-3 to B-4 to increase marketability for a commercial tenant. Staff opposed the B-4 request due to conflicts with the comprehensive plan and nearby R-1 zoning. Staff recommended rezoning to B-3 with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a package liquor store. Agent Garrett Nordyke confirmed the property owner accepted the alternative. The commission discussed traffic ingress/egress concerns on Featherline Road and aesthetic considerations. The motion to approve the staff alternative (B-3 with CUP) passed unanimously (motion by Commissioner Wilkerson, second by Commissioner Cooper). An additional condition on window coverings was discussed but not adopted.

Key Outcomes

  • Officers: Patrick Purifoy and Andrew Giacomozzi were reappointed Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively.
  • PH-1 Vote: Passed unanimously to rezone to B-2.
  • PH-2 Vote: Passed unanimously to rezone to B-3 with a CUP for a liquor store.
  • Next Meeting: Scheduled for November 9, 2026, immediately following a workshop at 4:30 p.m.
