Colleyville ranks as one of Texas safest cities as council approves new zoning changes

Colleyville City Council held a meeting on February 4, 2025, where discussions highlighted the city's safety rankings and zoning changes that could impact local development.

During the meeting, it was noted that Colleyville has been recognized as one of the safest cities in Texas, with one survey placing it in the top three. This accolade was attributed to the city's dedicated police force and leadership, underscoring the community's commitment to safety and security.

The council also addressed several administrative matters, including the approval of minutes from the previous meeting. A public hearing was opened but saw no community input, leading to a swift closure and subsequent approval of the consent agenda with a unanimous vote.

A significant topic of discussion was the first reading of an ordinance aimed at amending the city's zoning regulations. This ordinance proposes a change in zoning for a 4.1-acre tract on Colleyville Boulevard from a planned unit development commercial district to a different planned unit development commercial zoning designation. This change could pave the way for new developments in the area, although specific details on the intended use were not disclosed during the meeting.

The council's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to maintain Colleyville's reputation as a safe and well-planned community. As the city continues to grow, these discussions will play a crucial role in shaping the future landscape of Colleyville.
