Summary of Proceedings

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - December 1, 2025

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on December 1, 2025 at 6:07 PM to consider a reinstatement request for a concept plan and to receive a presentation on Module 1 of the zoning and subdivision ordinance rewrite. Both agenda items were approved unanimously (7-0).

Consent Calendar

  • The consent agenda was approved unanimously (7-0) with no items pulled for individual consideration.

Discussion Items

  • Agenda Item 1: Reinstatement of Approval for Morgan Village Retail Center Concept Plan – The applicant, Richard E. Farrell (represented by engineer Juan Vasquez), requested reinstatement of a concept plan for lots 3-5 (block A, lots 2-5) at the northeast corner of Ohio Drive and McDermott Road. The plan had expired on October 16, 2025. Staff recommended approval subject to increasing the sidewalk width to 7 feet along both street frontages (from the previously approved 4 feet) due to new street design standards. Lot 2 already has approved plans with a 4-foot sidewalk. The applicant stated that lot 2 has been sold and is under construction, and the remaining lots are being marketed. Commissioner questions addressed the sidewalk transition, marketing efforts, and timeline. The commission found the applicant's efforts serious and voted to approve.
  • Agenda Item 2: Module 1 of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Rewrite Project – This item included three sub-items:
    • 2A: Erica Craycraft (Freese and Nichols) presented proposed changes to zoning districts (consolidation from 31 to 24 districts, new naming conventions, and mixed-use focus) and land uses (reduction from ~200 to ~110 uses). Commission members expressed appreciation and asked about potential loss of nuance in consolidated uses and the clarity of district names.
    • 2B: Jordan Rockerby presented a new residential framework separating building form from function, introducing four building types (detached house, duplex, townhouse, apartment) and refined residential use definitions. An executive session was held for legal advice.
    • 2C: Discussion and action on accepting Module 1 as substantially complete. Staff summarized public outreach and next steps. The commission voted to accept the draft as recommended.

Key Outcomes

  • Agenda Item 1 (Reinstatement): Approved 7-0. The concept plan for Morgan Village Retail Center lots 3-5 is reinstated, subject to a 7-foot sidewalk requirement. The expiration date is extended two years from the original expiration date (October 16, 2025).
  • Agenda Item 2 (Module 1): Approved 7-0. The draft of Module 1 of the Unified Development Code is accepted as substantially complete, allowing work to proceed on subsequent modules. The item will be presented to City Council on December 16, 2025 or January 12, 2026.
  • The meeting adjourned at 7:47 PM.
