Staff said the property is currently designated office commercial in the comprehensive plan and zoned agriculture; the applicant asked to change the north portion to medium‑density residential and the south portion to low‑density residential to create 29 lots across just over 21 acres. The proposed lot sizes average just over 18,000 square feet, with several public and private open spaces shown on the plan.

Applicant representative John Huffman told the commission the residential concept is intended to better match the surrounding pattern of development and to preserve more trees and open space than a hypothetical office project would. He said the project team is willing to work with staff and neighbors on details for tree preservation and on options for noise mitigation along 114.

Neighbors and the commission discussed noise and visual buffering along 114, and several speakers urged a practical, maintainable solution rather than a raw concrete TxDOT‑style noise wall. Resident Marcy Peters (1816 Shady Oaks Drive) urged a “sound mitigation” solution and asked that the developer adopt a 50‑foot setback from Shady Oaks; the applicant agreed to increase the Shady Oaks setback to 50 feet and to research attractive buffering options. Commissioners also directed the applicant to develop a consistent, HOA‑managed fence treatment and a detailed landscape/tree preservation plan for council review.

The commission’s motion to recommend the land use amendment (CP‑25‑0001) passed unanimously and a separate motion recommending approval of the zoning change and development plan (ZA‑25‑0005) also passed unanimously, each with conditions. Conditions captured in the motion include protecting the adjacent western tract from additional encumbrances (no new setback or slope obligations to be imposed by the new zoning), a 50‑foot setback from Shady Oaks, an investigation of using the Highway 114 service road for construction access, a preference for vegetative buffering and HOA‑managed fencing on 114 (rather than an exposed concrete noise wall), and a commitment to provide a detailed tree‑conservation and landscape plan for council consideration.

Commissioners noted the project had been the subject of prior hearings and that re‑notice was performed to reflect minor changes. The applicant and staff were asked to prepare specific, illustrated options for the 114 frontage (visual and acoustic buffering) and to consult with immediate neighbors before the council hearing.

Both the comprehensive plan amendment and the zoning recommendation will be transmitted to City Council; staff and the chair suggested an initial council hearing could be scheduled April 15, 2025, with any second readings on later dates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Southlake - Planning and Zoning Commission - Apr 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission voted to recommend amendment of the City of Southlake future land use plan and to approve a zoning change and development plan for 1835 Shady Oaks that will allow a 29‑lot neighborhood.

Staff told the commission the location is inside a community service zoning district and that workouts typically draw 20–40 participants. Training sessions are scheduled both in the morning and evening, and the applicant requested five‑year approval periods. Staff noted one written response from a nearby resident who expressed concern about elevated noise at the residential entrance.

Brooke Nicholson, a Camp Gladiator trainer who said she has led the location for 15 years, told commissioners the program has operated without recent formal complaints and that attendance and parking are handled in the designated lots. Nicholson said the morning and evening sessions are staged to reduce resident impacts.

At the public hearing one neighbor said the workouts “wake me up every day,” citing early morning noise and music and asking for relief. A supporter, Juan Carlos Orozco, who said he attends the classes, said the music volume is “a very manageable level” and described how participants park and use the site during morning sessions.

Commissioners asked the applicant to meet neighbors and determine whether simple operational changes — for example angling portable speakers away from homes, altering speaker volume, or modifying the precise workout location within the lot — could address concerns. The commission’s motion to recommend approval included the staff report and a requirement that the applicant meet with the affected residents and attempt to resolve sound‑related issues prior to the council hearing.

The commission recorded a unanimous vote recommending approval. Commissioners noted the applicant’s long history at the site and expressed a preference to resolve outstanding neighbor concerns before council action. The item will proceed to City Council with the staff report and the applicant’s commitment to discuss and attempt to mitigate noise issues.","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted April 3 to recommend a five‑year renewal of a specific use permit for Camp Gladiator at 9800 South Kimball Avenue, subject to staff conditions and a requirement that the organizer meet nearby residents to discuss sound mitigation before City Council.",{"_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},6613636,"Planning commission recommends seven‑lot subdivision at 500 East Bob Jones Road amid neighborhood opposition",3315,275000,3590000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2869936-ed2ec8bad1ffcd9dfc95c1634e9d1809&start=275&end=3590","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2869936-ed2ec8bad1ffcd9dfc95c1634e9d1809/thumbnail_275000.jpg","/articles/6613636/Southlake/Tarrant-County/Texas/Planning-commission-recommends-sevenlot-subdivision-at-500-East-Bob-Jones-Road-amid-neighborhood-opposition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6613636-c3bd4a91a383b5cff1f65a444259ee70/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181720&Signature=Xu73Uzvb-BHi17Qfm1QdfM9mW-NNhS6aD5BngMFBnAukDqH-iPmJ6YaJV~e6VzEspUccdiFctZhAO~5FUibD8blgioBe9pt4w71rssSs-vmzNSpBIn1oVFbsMIi0Jw78bRWlbxR0Uk1NZGY4ckD1d8rnuuOWyDqdvBiAOO4pq77CXqoKbU0q7BZABNca4JD3XsRdUeMJ4rgDcKaW~uHmlqCnlZp32O~qGzZwTefbgWnilvBjjZsP2RKY2xQo286jcd~CrMqQxG2Ili1PpI8sYdpaY7-09JyozJpFgZQ2otgNedPv0FMsjuXAFOq4zL9qVAB91hWwc0yCeXdaMNdS9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission on April 3 recommended approval of a zoning change and concept plan for a seven‑lot residential development at 500 East Bob Jones Road, sending the proposal to City Council with conditions after a multi‑hour public hearing.

The applicant, developer Jody Boyd, told the commission the project is intended to match the area’s long‑standing land‑use guidance for low‑density residential and that lots will be about an acre each. “As you can see, low density residential future land use plan, calls for that,” Boyd said, adding the homes will use septic systems and city water and that the developer would require homebuilders and buyers to plant “five, 6‑inch trees on every house.”

Neighbors who attended the meeting urged the commission to deny the rezoning or to tighten conditions. During public comment residents cited concerns about drainage and fill, construction traffic and safety, light and noise, wildlife corridors and the change in neighborhood character. Melissa Reichem, who cited the city’s own planning materials, read language describing the Grapevine Lake and adjacent Corps of Engineers property as “an outstanding ecological, educational, and passive recreational asset” and called the site “environmentally sensitive.” Samuel Jones, whose home is across the street, said the proposal “does not fit the character” of the area and warned it would “double” the number of houses in the immediate block.

The developer presented a concept plan showing an internal street and seven lots, and said the existing home on the site would remain as Lot 1. Boyd said the property generally drains to the east and northeast toward Corps of Engineers land and Lake Grapevine and that he does not expect runoff to flow across Bob Jones Road into neighboring yards. “It simply falls away from the road,” Boyd said. He also promised to preserve existing pipe‑and‑cable and rail fencing along Bob Jones where practical and to require tree plantings that the developer said would maintain habitat for deer and other wildlife.

Commissioners asked for and won a number of commitments and clarifications before recommending approval. Conditions captured in the commission’s recommendation include retaining or matching the existing perimeter fencing along Bob Jones, requiring that Lot 7’s house face Bob Jones Road (not the new internal street), limiting construction hours, requiring tree plantings on each lot, and asking staff to provide additional information about existing water pressure and drainage capacity for the neighborhood. The commission also asked that driveway stacking and gate placement be designed so that delivery vehicles and gates do not block Bob Jones Road; sidewalks were left for later discussion and could be deferred depending on neighbor preference.

Multiple residents urged the city to require more detailed on‑site grading and drainage work up front and pressed for limits on truck routes and construction hours. Neighbors reported visible past grading on nearby sites, cited a history of variable water pressure, and asked the city to confirm whether soil conditions and elevation would require substantial imported fill to build house pads.

The commission’s recommendation will go to City Council; the staff and the chair said the earliest possible council hearing would be April 15, 2025, with any second reading likely to follow at a later council meeting. The developer acknowledged some items — for example, detailed pad grading and the exact number of yards of fill — would be resolved through engineering and later site plan and permitting steps.

Actions and next steps from the April 3 meeting will be part of the public record sent to council; residents were encouraged to attend the council meeting to comment on the proposal.","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted April 3 to recommend approval of a zoning change and concept plan for seven single‑family lots at 500 E.
