Jefferson Street.

Staff position and proposal

Planning staff (Savannah) explained the proposal sought to change the future land use from commercial retail office to low-density residential and to rezone the lots to Single Family-6 to allow construction of three single-family homes. Staff recommended denial because the proposed zoning did not align with the Future Land Use Map; staff emphasized that the Future Land Use Map is a guidance element of the city’s comprehensive plan and not equivalent to zoning.

Applicant comments and surrounding context

Applicant Terry Banks said he and neighbors wanted three single-family homes on the property, noting single-family homes already existed across the street and that the parcel has been under private ownership (previously by a church) and underutilized. Banks said he had built a home recently nearby and offered that small infill would complement the neighborhood.

Commissioner concerns and decision

Commissioners expressed mixed views. Several said they support infill housing in principle but were concerned the parcel’s location and potential conversion of adjacent lots to commercial use could undermine enjoyment of new homes. Commissioners noted limited access to the parcel and that surrounding lots could be used commercially, making the requested residential zoning inconsistent with the city’s land-use guidance. Commissioner Michelle Madden moved to deny the comprehensive-plan amendment and the zoning change; Commissioner Ty Chapman seconded. The motion to deny passed unanimously (yes:7).

What this means

Because the commission found the request inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map, the applicant’s proposal was denied. The applicant may revise the proposal, provide additional justification demonstrating compatibility with the comprehensive plan, or pursue a different zoning strategy. No letters of support or opposition were recorded in the staff packet.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Grand Prairie - Planning & Zoning 05122025 - May 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission voted to deny a comprehensive-plan amendment and zoning change for 2005–2013 W.

The vote incorporated Development Review Committee (DRC) and staff conditions that the applicant must resolve before further action.

Staff presentation and conditions

Planning staff (Savannah) told commissioners the facility would include four operating rooms, pre- and post-operative patient care, sterile processing and administrative spaces. The property is about 5.7 acres and the proposed building would be accessed from Double Oak Avenue. Staff said the applicant met density and dimensional requirements but did not demonstrate full compliance with UDC Appendix F landscaping and window requirements. Because the applicant selected the 30-day \"shot clock\" review option, staff included outstanding items as conditions of approval rather than resolving them through the normal DRC process.

Mandatory conditions included: revising plans and submitting them to staff by 5 p.m. on May 23; adding the case number to each plan page; providing a 40-foot clear space at the dumpster enclosure per public health and environmental quality requirements; screening the mechanical yard per Appendix F; providing driveway dimensions and curb ramps meeting UDC standards; dedicating 50 feet of right-of-way for future Heritage Parkway; furnishing tables summarizing exterior wall material percentages, window areas, and covered-walkway lengths; removing signage from site and landscape plans; confirming plant species and drought/pollinator status; increasing ornamental tree caliper to 3 inches; and adding additional trees to meet minimums. Staff also noted the applicant may propose an artificial lot to exclude a 50-foot easement from landscape calculations per Article 8 of the UDC.

Applicant comments

Thomas Hubert, the project design architect, said the team has been working through Appendix F requirements and acknowledged some outstanding details (tree species, exact shrub counts, façade glazing tables). He explained that a high-pressure gas line and overhead power lines reduce the buildable width to roughly 65 feet and limit façade undulation and windows; the design adheres to Texas Department of Health and Human Services and Facility Guidelines Institute guidance for ambulatory surgical centers. Engineer Chris Schnicker said engineering questions were limited to the same utility constraints and that the team is prepared to submit the tabulated materials staff requested.

Commissioner discussion and outcome

Commissioners asked whether the applicant could meet the May 23 deadline; the applicant said the project is at a design-development milestone and expects to submit the required materials. Commissioner Michelle Madden moved to close the public hearing and approve STP25-04-0013 with DRC recommendations; Commissioner Ty Chapman seconded. The motion passed unanimously (yes:7).

What happens next

Staff will review the applicant’s May 23 submission to verify that all conditions are met before the item moves to city council or building-permit review. If the plans do not meet the conditions, further revisions or delays may follow.","The commission approved a 16,300-square-foot ambulatory surgical center site plan at 3811 Double Oak Avenue (STP25-04-0013) with conditions to address landscaping, screening, driveway dimensions and other UDC/Appendix F items; staff set a May 23 deadline for revisions.",{"_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},6567703,"Planning and Zoning: Commission approves site plans and permits, denies two rezoning requests",228,2481000,2709000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276073-d5dd944b1e4f55121f9e25d8736529b2&start=2481&end=2709","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276073-d5dd944b1e4f55121f9e25d8736529b2/thumbnail_2481000.jpg","/articles/6567703/Grand-Prairie/Dallas-County/Texas/Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-approves-site-plans-and-permits-denies-two-rezoning-requests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567703-6d4dd481230e0330171260e8d72af770/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169587&Signature=aVKAAMZiep8NHrPXj92bp9Pcpz2dWMYvvBkwE2Fo5tG6HpRfPV6bjOhQCJPs4-THrBxTVWR45p1dXc2mzcMorxV~Hg7ePQJ6PJ2uFej5ECo6xNrCYtXSkQtlNLROoMinp7Ipol78yYBTg1aJ2FXubd-EfJJBcjsArVvIuJBfcDzznCh4sfNaiU0224GMeph-d46rRAYb-mBdXOM61Ftt0dlwM1SvU4xe6rajV0KymjnZWI1Z0oqP4ZvFvATShmMAmBzIiIiYjjKmeV~FFt7HjW9hQU40Nu-CrQN9yk0PhjQoMeWxpSd-uF0db5BPn9-gJrIjCjF19AcC~fPPX9FgQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission on May 12 approved multiple site plans and specific-use permits and denied two proposed comprehensive-plan and zoning changes.

Why it matters

The commission’s actions advance several commercial developments into the permitting process — including a medical ambulatory surgical center (TMI SportsMed) and a quick-service restaurant pad at a Walmart outparcel — while rejecting two requests that would change the city’s Future Land Use Map and zoning on parcels where staff found the changes inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Approvals carry conditions that applicants must satisfy before the items proceed to city council or building-permit review.

What the staff and applicants said

Staff presenters repeatedly cited the Unified Development Code (UDC) and Appendix F design standards and summarized outstanding plan revisions required before final permits. Applicants described design constraints: the TMI architect said a high-pressure gas line and overhead power lines reduced the developable width of the TMI site and limited window placement, and TMI’s design team said they would submit the required tables and revisions by May 23. Hawaiian Bros’ representative said the operator has multiple successful DFW locations and seeks the remaining pad at the center.

Next steps

Approved items proceed to the city council or to building-permit review with the conditions noted in staff reports. Denied comprehensive-plan and zoning requests remain subject to resubmittal with changes that address staff’s and commissioners’ concerns about conformity with the Future Land Use Map and site access.","At its May 12 meeting the Grand Prairie Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for TMI SportsMed and several specific-use permits for convenience stores and a restaurant, and denied two pairs of comprehensive-plan/zoning change requests on Jefferson Street and West Warrior Trail.","actionData","errors"]
