All right,

good evening.

It's 6 30 p.m.

and I call the Thursday, September 17th, 2026, Planning and Zoning Commission work session to order.

The quorum of the Planning and Zoning Commission is present,

and

the meeting has been posted in accordance to the Texas Open Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code.

Staff will discuss items on tonight's work agenda.

All right,

we're starting on time, and I'm gonna move through this as quickly as you all will let me, and we'll slow down if we need to.

Um before we get into the items uh for this evening, just a few community announcements, reminders.

I

brought this up, I think at the last planning zoning commission meeting.

We have a new award, the heart of NRH community award.

It's kind of a series of awards for

uh

Board and Commission member of the year, business of the year, volunteer, citizen of the year.

Applications are open for about another week.

That QR code will take you to the application or to the nomination, sorry, the nomination form, um, or you can visit the website to find more information.

Coming up here uh very shortly, we have the close of the summer season at NRH2O with the doggy beach bash.

Uh it's $20 for admission.

That's not for one dog, but even for two if you would like to bring two animals with

you

at NRH2O, and that is the QR code

to tickets.

The following weekend on October the third is the upcoming uh very large uh friends of the library book sale at the NRH library.

And later in October, this is a little bit further out, but just to put it on your radar in case you would like to sign up.

Um the fix it blitz and annual program that the city does and gets groups of people kind of from the city and throughout the community to go and work on projects uh for some of our residents who could use some assistance with minor repairs to fencing home projects, yard work, and that sort of thing.

Um it's open to everybody.

You can form a team or you can join a team and you can get more information by contacting NIP at NRHTX.com.

And

I think we will just jump right into the uh topics of the night.

Clayton talk about this one here on the residential zoning change, and then I'll get into the tax revision.

Yeah,

sure.

Um so the zoning case that's on tonight's agenda is a agricultural to R1 single family uh request.

This is almost an acre of property at 8701 Rumfield Road.

Uh

so this is on the north side of Rumfield, adjacent to uh Meadowview Estates uh between Davis and Eden Road, uh currently developed with a house.

Um the plans are for the house to be demolished, new house be constructed on the property, and in order to do that, they need to plat the property.

Uh and one of the conditions of the plotting the property is to change the zoning from agricultural to commercial.

Oh, I'm sorry, not to commercial, please not commercial, to a single family district to allow for that because the ag district is primarily a holding pattern holding zone until future development occurs.

And this is very similar to the case that we looked at a couple of uh meet meetings or so ago uh on uh Burcy Road, going from AG to R1 in order to plant the property for new construction.

Uh

all this area is uh low density residential uh on Rumfield between Eden area, uh Kirk Lane, etc.

Uh over here on the right, you can see the zoning map.

There's a lot of uh agricultural property still over in this part of town.

Uh this is the lot here in green that's uh under consideration.

Uh

number of years ago, I don't recall the uh the exact date, but if you're interested, I can look that up before the regular meeting.

Uh with the property next door uh also rezoned to R1 in order to plat the property for the construction of that new house on that site.

Uh

so this is a very common process, uh very common issue that runs across town.

Uh and that's all based on the the purpose and intent of the agricultural district and then moving those into residential districts where it's appropriate.

Um that should be it uh for the site.

Uh there will be a rest the current house built in 1966, just for informational purposes.

Uh the applicant uh and I believe the survey will be here tonight uh if there's any questions about the process project.

Um we have reviewed the plat previously.

Uh one of those conditions of approval on that plat was uh action on the zoning case in the future.

Um so depending on the action on this, uh ultimately when if this is approved, uh assuming it is, uh then we'll be able to finalize the plat and get that executed for recording so they can apply for building permits later
