Good evening.

It is 6 30 p.m.

and I call the Thursday, October 1st, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission work session to order.

Quorum of the Planning and Zoning Commission is present, and the meeting has been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code.

This time we'll have staff come and discuss the items on tonight's work session agenda.

All right.

Thank you all for being here.

We have a very short agenda with statutory timeline, so we appreciate you coming out for just this very short one.

Corey sends her regrets for not being here.

So she will uh see y'all next time, I suppose.

Um so for uh some announcement items.

Uh you probably when you came in the building saw that there was

a

um reception going on for the pop-up gallery that's running in the in the lobby through October 31st.

Um

so if you're interested in checking out the artwork that's down there, uh feel free to have a look.

All local local artists from our NRH community uh with the theme of um harvest hues.

So uh autumn colors and such.

Uh

then uh Saturday, October 3rd.

Uh Autumn Sounds out front.

Uh this is uh American Petty Tom Ped tribute band

uh

playing out on the front porch.

Uh

7 p.m.

gates open at 6.

And

then uh next week on October 8th, uh the community bike ride starts again, uh Northfield Park at 6 p.m.

on October the 8th.

If you are a biker and interested in that, uh that's coming back up, and we'll probably continue on for a

while.

And

then also on October 10th, uh we have another autumn sounds for the 80s cover band called 80s gadgets.

Uh that's also 6 p.m., 7 p.m.

start time uh down here out in front of City Hall.

Um so um the only thing we have on a planning directory report tonight is uh just to let you know the the updates that uh Corey had presented previously about some uh changes to the zoning ordinance, just doing some cleanup items on uh building materials, uh notification things, um, board of adjustment stuff all got approved by council.

Um so those changes got made to the zoning ordinance.

Um so that'll affect some of our administrative things, but that was mostly just cleanup things to uh address some of your state law requirements.

Um so we'll probably continue to bring things like that forward.

Uh those are the ones we wanted to get done pretty quickly.

Um so we'll follow up with some more of those uh later on this year and next

year.

Um so for tonight's uh single item.

Uh this is uh something you've uh seen in one form before.

This is preliminary plat for Smithfield Terrace.

This is seven and a half acres, sixty-eight twenty-one Smithfield Road.

Uh you'll recall we did the zoning case on that one uh back in the summer.

Um they have worked on their plans and plat submittal now.

Um so we're in the preliminary plat phase.

Um this is the acreage there running between Smithfield and Hewitt Street.

Um a lot of this will look very familiar to you.

Um just context for Smithfield Road, just north of the elementary school area, uh north of Chapman.

Extends over to Hewitt Street.

Um

it is 33 lots.

Um this is 7,000 uh let me just pull up this other slide.

33 lots, uh, average size a little over eight eighty one hundred square feet.

Uh you might recall there was some discussion about trying to make the lots a little bit bigger during the zoning case and distributing those out slightly differently, make them a little bit wider.

Um, so that uh when that zoning got approved, they have accommodated that with this plat uh document.
