Staff reported the parcel is not within 300 feet of an existing water or wastewater main and therefore must pursue either on-site septic or obtain approvals from Public Health and Environmental Quality and TCEQ. The property will use the private water supply serving Matthew Road Mobile Home Estates; access is via Mobile Road, a prescriptive easement maintained privately. The DRC again expressed concern about the lack of supporting municipal utilities and services.

One resident, Tracy Nguyen, filed a speaker card in support and noted the property is on a well-maintained private road and that a septic system, well and meter at the street were planned; she also described an expected single-family home size range of 2,500 to 3,500 square feet on her card. Commissioners reiterated the recurring tension between the cost to extend public infrastructure and homeowners’ desire to build site-built homes. The commission approved the rezoning subject to the DRC condition that the applicant obtain and file a plat with the county prior to building permits; the motion passed unanimously among those present.

Next steps include forwarding the recommendation to City Council and any technical review of water/septic by Public Health and Environmental Quality and TCEQ if applicable.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Grand Prairie - Planning & Zoning 03102025 - Mar 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended rezoning 1801 Mobile Road from Agriculture to Single-Family-5, repeating staff DRC concerns about utilities and access; the commission attached the condition that a plat be filed before permits are issued.","taxTitle","Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",2784,"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},6643340,"Commission recommends rezoning at 1822 Mobile Road despite staff infrastructure concerns",863,1076000,1939000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d&start=1076&end=1939","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d/thumbnail_1076000.jpg","/articles/6643340/Grand-Prairie/Dallas-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-rezoning-at-1822-Mobile-Road-despite-staff-infrastructure-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643340-cafe10765d56c99452b68169f102cae1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139829&Signature=mwLb~koSOOLryns4N6eEFKh05sW4KtwcaJjPtyJIVGylkKk8p8mkzGqUE6VPF~Bw1GFtz0LPQcEPsmGH47JWjJncJ5ZssYyrq2hfIYJESaKrj4s3Q6Wl8E2TlkhSdnd2117dT2l49n3TRMgEJ6Wgop1RsQApBJKBi~3IVcS00LkjM6n1u3E86L-H1E5oOQZ2UrFV53PWJ6JfZES~LNkMEJpZu-4P2K2Q~NA3aYxBdxcc9djoQcFgqK~~70hKyJxxw8xIDNOXGVMtO5aPukotRffKTqtxRf5tO~NDChWCYqrGp7pZnRDIp8uLO6t6YfEvJ0e2SjTT59yU70~n5dwrsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted March 10 to recommend that City Council rezone 1822 Mobile Road from Agriculture to Single-Family-5 to allow construction of a site-built home, while staff warned the site lacks adequate public water, wastewater and street infrastructure.

Planning staff described the property as part of the Matthew Road Mobile Home Estates, a development created by metes-and-bounds in 1968 and annexed in 1969 that remains largely unplatted. Staff said the site is within roughly 300 feet of an existing water and wastewater line, a threshold that can require applicants to extend mains; the Public Health and Environmental Quality and Engineering departments will determine any connection requirements. The development review committee did not fully support the rezoning because of the area’s limited utilities and emergency-access concerns during extreme weather.

Commissioners discussed the history of sporadic rezoning approvals in the neighborhood (staff said eight similar rezoning approvals have been granted previously, including one in 2023) and the cost implications of installing infrastructure for a small number of lots. Several commissioners said they sympathize with prospective homeowners who wish to build site-built houses rather than mobile homes and observed that individuals often accept the trade-offs of private water or septic systems.

The commission approved the rezoning with the staff-recommended condition that the applicant obtain and file a plat with the county prior to issuance of building permits. The motion passed with a unanimous voice/hand vote among commissioners present.","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a zoning change from Agriculture to Single-Family-5 for 1822 Mobile Road despite staff and DRC reservations about water, sewer and road infrastructure; the commission attached the standard condition requiring plat approval prior to building permits.",{"_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},6643344,"Commission approves Frost Bank specific-use permit with drive-through",426,635000,1061000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d&start=635&end=1061","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d/thumbnail_635000.jpg","/articles/6643344/Grand-Prairie/Dallas-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Frost-Bank-specific-use-permit-with-drive-through","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643344-2184379fe299d59dfd317c6f0015b637/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139829&Signature=jl5ZJhY50GsKqcWSOHdAHEAyyHNIBrMdXiGq36QSAOn0H5vYXwaXfg~GKL9xmGUVKqDhZXkGM5Lfj5wJvdwXvLAl9TLHPc4InHTADkvyv~ZCFkt4YjoZO92~AzIzGHQ12l1Dbvu5Fz7EtOg9GoTYphsrKeKnszGXr5xZXR-wUXFctg24ajyG9w1QPO~CRmw8ipMRDe4hootcxTEw3nqqDZuyG1wJmBBdGPgOsYpq7PnB1ALBH-KSHOuvP8o59P9BNXO3j5kwlnsml3kZQfcqNq628MNyFUCIcpU7erHKwI8-dh3Ut5EcRBnPZl-9-EswhlZLWnvbKJnJWk~PeLSkXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission on March 10 approved a specific-use permit and site plan for a Frost Bank branch with drive-through lanes near West Camp Wisdom and Lake Ridge Parkway.

Staff told commissioners the applicant met density and dimensional requirements and proposed drive-through lanes typical for standalone bank branches. Because of existing utility and gas easements the site cannot accommodate the nine street trees required by Appendix F; staff said the applicant proposed five street trees and additional landscaping elsewhere on the site. The applicant also requested to exceed the parking maximum (the staff presentation cited a typical maximum of 14 spaces while the proposal showed 30 spaces) and offered compensatory measures: half of the excess spaces must be permeable or compact to qualify for the variance request.

During the presentation staff said the elevations include substantial windows at the main façade and that the project met Appendix F checklist items. Applicant representatives were present; Bobby Gooch of Frost Bank (405 Park Oak, Hollywood Park, Texas) thanked the commission for accommodating the bank’s second Grand Prairie location.

Chair Cheryl Smith moved to close the public hearing and approve the specific-use permit per DRC recommendations; Commissioner Michelle Madden seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The approval includes the variances discussed and required the applicant to provide compensatory parking measures and additional landscape plantings where feasible. Staff noted final tree planting and parking-material details will be addressed in the permitting process.","The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a specific-use permit and site plan for a standalone Frost Bank with drive-through lanes at West Camp Wisdom and Lake Ridge Parkway, granting parking and tree variances as outlined in the staff/DRC recommendation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6643348,"Planning commission approves Midtown Neighborhood Shops site plan",316,303000,619000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d&start=303&end=619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532493-59655609cd5325b71d0051c8bbc9335d/thumbnail_303000.jpg","/articles/6643348/Grand-Prairie/Dallas-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-Midtown-Neighborhood-Shops-site-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643348-e1210e1bc74e3ea174c8a317e7e665f6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139829&Signature=nV~LLhju2~bf-xRUnfU5SSenufErqb9tfPpJ~Ne4nxHaFgDuIcktRrqB9BYFP~eb6Oxaqywg3kJNZEyBVKW7NLUO5vOUOwWZ2kH4fUqQd~IbuIxojmTxj2a0l464SzHW6GBPdSYvwsoo89H0rzZ2fX7wEAQSmSmZNCzpvNB2RPKZgGXOvAhj2FbyP3KKq3pocc6oQgk~3mL6l1~wFiEBBeUiXzA6L22nznf3coMQoaJgyLBPs4Dum9OPk9EjhwOPdw1SDrxa2iBS3~E1COE1-vxo9Hasu9d~HAbgP6lUo1NMDFSE7OWGpnREyCcMEj-4eumz6tep7p3fZxcf40LGtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission on March 10 unanimously approved a site plan for Midtown Neighborhood Shops, a two-building retail and restaurant development near the intersection of Forum Drive and State Highway 161.

Staff said the proposal meets the city's density, dimensional and parking requirements and includes a raised water feature, outdoor seating, benches, bike racks and street trees along SH-161 and Forum Drive. The staff presentation noted the development sits within the larger area previously referenced as Alterra and that the developer has purchased both northern and southern portions of the commercial tract.

The DRC recommendation and staff report said the proposed buildings comply with the city’s Appendix F design standards; the applicant included long windows and other façade elements to address window-percentage rules and provided amenity items listed in the appendix. Staff noted the architect had prepared longer windows to reduce the need for a variance but that the final window calculations would be verified before city council review.

Commissioner John Fedorco moved to close the public hearing and approve the site plan per DRC recommendations; Commissioner Victor Medina seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

One resident, Pete Stickney, filed a speaker card to indicate support but did not speak. Staff concluded the presentation and responded to no substantive public objections.

The approval advances the Midtown retail portion of the mixed-use area previously marketed as Alterra toward permitting and construction. The application will proceed to city council for final action as required by the city's review process.","The Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a site plan for Midtown Neighborhood Shops, clearing two multi-tenant retail/restaurant buildings with outdoor seating and landscaping as recommended by staff and the Development Review Committee (DRC).","actionData","errors"]
