Assistant city staff member Mark Wood summarized the awards: MDT Terra Ltd (Terra Village shopping center, 1009–1101 Cheeks Parker Road) plans $327,000 in improvements and will receive a BEST grant not to exceed $30,000 to help support landscaping ($65,000), signage ($11,000), parking-lot repairs, structure painting (about $60,000) and roofing improvements (more than $150,000), plus gazebo updates. Raid Group LLC, doing business as Signature Arts Dental at 6908 Colleyville Boulevard, plans about $50,000 in improvements — roughly $32,000 for landscaping, $13,000 for a monument sign and parking/concrete repairs — and will receive a BEST grant not to exceed $5,000.

Program purpose and process: Staff described the BEST program as a city partnership that reimburses exterior, road-facing improvements that support commercial corridor revitalization. Staff encouraged eligible businesses to apply and noted the city has funds reserved for such incentives. After a brief public hearing with no speakers, the council approved the resolution 7-0.

Votes and next steps: The motion to adopt Resolution R-25-5010 passed unanimously; the city manager or his designee was authorized to execute documents necessary to implement the agreements. No public comments were recorded on the grants during the hearing.

Ending: Council members praised private investment in property improvements and invited other businesses to apply for the BEST incentives.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colleyville - City Council - Feb 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved Resolution R-25-5010 to award two economic-development BEST program reimbursement grants: up to $30,000 for improvements at Terra Village (MDT Terra Ltd) and up to $5,000 for Signature Arts Dental (Raid Group LLC).","taxTitle","Colleyville, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",69604,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668684,"Council holds first reading on rezoning Hodges Automotive site for office/warehouse complex",1790,1797000,3587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220196-0b3bd8c89ced9767435d4bc100785987&start=1797&end=3587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220196-0b3bd8c89ced9767435d4bc100785987/thumbnail_1797000.jpg","/articles/6668684/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Council-holds-first-reading-on-rezoning-Hodges-Automotive-site-for-officewarehouse-complex","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668684-e305ea3bd0bf5e74f2974d90fa3586c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206023&Signature=EVCpf55zdKloxzxOS~xcUj3rVFHYQ-iJ9EkSVNQVsDNk9Le6d1pIZRBh7QQy3P60mtZoXBMMXEZZRmRyfD4UibDawb8xeW7L9FxMkOP34FYnnQQBBRlj8f1i0bmh-roSpvF~U5~UIWlVcS~8vyxe~1cgG9xOmkXdinZFuyfQ9eABMPHtCjup16hAXYKBobV9g6LTLYLMUmRWzT14gzbm9OLvfqDOLoW1AVarNGtBDydsEOjzhOJ62wuJGVk4PiySr~zpP3VhSBJbzV2Kvdboh7h8ZBSj7HuCKr6ezpUaBlkJnSmVEyB23nI8CHjzIo-nKzoD9RQQ6AG-4AUS6COwEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colleyville City Council on Feb. 4 held a first reading and public hearing on an ordinance (Ord. 025-2319) to rezone the former Hodges Automotive property at 6521 Colleyville Boulevard to a new planned-unit development commercial (PUDC) district intended for office-warehouse and light-industrial uses. No final action was taken; the item remains at first reading.

Director of Community Development Ben Bridal presented the applicant's concept, saying the proposal would replace an existing PUDC and develop roughly 83,500 square feet of single-story buildings with a maximum height of 28 feet. The plan shows three buildings, 137 parking spaces and two stormwater detention ponds; the developer proposes masonry materials, pitched roofs and an 8-foot masonry screening wall along the property’s east boundary adjacent to residences.

Neighbors’ concerns and applicant commitments: Dozens of details were discussed during the hearing. Resident Greg Flowers, whose home backs the site, said neighbors negotiated directly with the applicant and supported the project’s aesthetic changes but pressed for drainage fixes, limits on hours and controls on lighting, noise and outdoor storage. \"Drainage was a huge thing for us,\" Flowers said when describing issues residents expect addressed; he urged enforcement of commitments. The applicant, Girish Narayan of Shoal Creek Capital, told the council the project includes a culvert and site drainage designed to direct water away from the adjacent homes and that the developer will restrict operating hours and outdoor storage. Narayan said the applicant proposed restricted operating hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and that no outdoor storage would be allowed.

Planning and environmental details: Bridal said the plan provides the city-required 20% tree/canopy cover and includes mitigation measures if existing trees of heritage size must be removed; mitigation could include additional plantings or a payment in lieu. The developer also proposes to repave Ross Downs Road as a fire lane, and civil plans show a water main loop that would improve system redundancy. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0 at its Jan. 13 meeting; staff summary was neutral.

Traffic and access: The applicant submitted an initial traffic study for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) permitting because Colleyville Boulevard is a state highway. The applicant's consultant said the project's vehicle trips would add roughly 70 vehicles to peak-hour totals on Colleyville Boulevard in the project's opening year, representing about a 6.2% increase from baseline peak-hour volumes; TxDOT will review whether turn lanes or other access improvements are required. Council members asked whether the developer’s plan depends on a median cut on Colleyville Boulevard; the applicant said no full-access driveway was proposed, and that TxDOT would determine if any turn-lane changes are needed.

Process and next steps: Because this was a first reading, the council took no final vote. The ordinance text and site plan will return for a subsequent reading and council action; staff and the applicant will continue to refine engineering, traffic and tree-mitigation details and respond to neighbor concerns.

Ending: The public hearing closed after applicant and resident remarks. The council's first reading concluded with no action; the item will be scheduled for further consideration at a later meeting.","Council took public comment and held a first reading on an ordinance to replace the existing PUDC zoning at 6521 Colleyville Boulevard (the Hodges Automotive site) with a new planned-unit development commercial (PUDC) district for office/warehouse and light industrial uses; no vote was taken on the ordinance at first reading.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668687,"Colleyville council votes to put $20 million rec-center bond on May ballot",1378,3660000,5038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220196-0b3bd8c89ced9767435d4bc100785987&start=3660&end=5038","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220196-0b3bd8c89ced9767435d4bc100785987/thumbnail_3660000.jpg","/articles/6668687/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Colleyville-council-votes-to-put-20-million-rec-center-bond-on-May-ballot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668687-dc073a6067a5dca39196e412d7e2d829/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206023&Signature=aBDE31lYYGhdwFQHSr8ToLsWynVyg~gJ4aJbphySYF7GlvGlEzNEC71tM4eA1FEvH7nIa8ivE3FwBINBcAB1ty3atnkyZKokQOIXq9A4L1RqzqM5WTGTDt112-7FFcUOcS~4W3kCSIemhg273GVqw426LOStoAbTOXhTDVpaysjmw1lrME6IzZN5NtWRXto3OQkubL6u2jLGb8f2lMJSInQtMr2DrJOopAMfqZRyfAsLZvl9TibLzAXPPu7W0Vj0NyqMPtQCsKPI5gKN7bFblmTDvr9HgNhVbZi3vkIEGZZXLsNPsMW6a7~CKh6Wyk0iRht8fFevjVnxfFSHSyJlAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colleyville City Council on Feb. 4 voted 7-0 to place a $20 million general obligation bond proposition on the May 3, 2025 ballot that would fund an expansion of the Colleyville Recreation Center.

Assistant City Manager Mark Wood told the council the item responds to a May 2024 advisory referendum in which 74% of voters supported asking the city to pursue a recreation-center expansion. \"That was approved 74% to 26%,\" Wood said as he summarized the referendum results and the council action to place a binding proposition on the ballot.

Why it matters: If voters approve the proposition, the bonds would pay for design, land, construction and equipment for a roughly 31,000-square-foot expansion that would add a two-story fitness area, a third gym and an elevated indoor track. Wood said the most recent construction estimate is $16,340,000 in hard costs; the city anticipates additional soft costs and contingency that together are covered by the $20 million authorization.

Financial details and voter materials: The city's financial advisor and bond counsel told the council the estimated debt-service impact would be roughly 3.1 cents on the interest-and-sinking tax rate. That estimate assumes no property-value growth (a conservative model the presenters described) and produces an illustrative household impact of about $19 per month for the average Colleyville home under the scenarios shown. Paul Braden of Norton Rose Fulbright (bond counsel) and Will Smith of Specialized Public Finance explained the timeline and how proceeds and debt service would be managed if the measure passes.

Public comment and council direction: In public comment, resident Kathy Hadley urged caution about the size of the bond and its tax impact. Mayor Bobby Lindemood stressed that the council had sought resident input before reaching this point and that placing the question on the ballot returns the decision to voters. \"The voters will decide how we proceed,\" the mayor said during the presentation; later he reiterated that council members are legally prohibited from taking an official position on the ballot measure.

Next steps: The resolution sets early voting from April 22–29 and election day on May 3, 2025; the ballot proposition language and a voter information document will be posted at voting locations and on the city's website. The council's vote tonight authorized placing the proposition before voters; issuance of bonds would follow only if the proposition is approved in May.

Ending: The council approved the resolution to call the election by unanimous vote (7-0). Voters can find the proposition text, exhibits and polling locations on the Colleyville and Tarrant County election websites in advance of the vote.","The Colleyville City Council voted 7-0 to place a $20 million general obligation bond proposition on the May 3, 2025 ballot to fund expansion of the Colleyville Recreation Center, following community outreach and an advisory referendum that passed in 2024.","actionData","errors"]
