Staff said the packet includes a highlighted set of roughly 40 bills that staff believes could directly affect planning and zoning functions for municipalities like Haslet, plus a larger set of bills recently signed or filed. The packet is current as of May 23, 2025, staff said. Jeremy Page and staff explained the 90th/80 ninth legislature timeframe and noted that many bills take effect immediately or on Sept. 1 depending on language.

Staff said the city does not employ a full-time lobbyist but that it has an assistant who monitors bills and that the city has sent about 200 letters to state legislators and staff summarizing municipal concerns. Mayor Gary Halsey (speaking later in the meeting) described the session as active and said the city has engaged with legislators and district staff. Staff told commissioners they will return next month with a focused list of planning- and zoning-related bills that have become law and the dates the changes would take effect.

This item was informational; no action was taken. Commissioners acknowledged that some city ordinances may need revision to remain in compliance if bills become law.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission - 27 May 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff provided commissioners with a packet summarizing dozens of legislative bills affecting municipal planning and zoning and said the city is monitoring measures that could change local control; follow-up materials will be provided next month.","taxTitle","Haslet, Denton County, Texas","taxId",61615,"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},6222805,"Commission recommends approval of temporary batch plant in Northglenn Phase 3 with no off-site production",568,996000,1564000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d&start=996&end=1564","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d/thumbnail_996000.jpg","/articles/6222805/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-approval-of-temporary-batch-plant-in-Northglenn-Phase-3-with-no-off-site-production","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222805-9dbbff298e84a460c196a2c6beb6daf9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775412718&Signature=oGV-e4incP-TCI919JBXJlOgXphKaS54eOcexyN69Ze9Ge08oqMoC0f9BjXEV4pQe8VxXAyaNazXE1yVnK0yn3YnvkZMbRfxSEYp-9taV6O-oKK7Xd-PUuZNKw-h-GL7cwdUkewzmM-AhN9M94PguVgRbP0pyy1C4wVPwseuEZAxXAD36tCDSFvTrRCjx1EICxiTvZSFm8OYnkeXaAOqYRaBAp8JCos8DfyIPHDWG5pCYg~VDxW2Ir2sH-XwQphPg1lWwwXYmsAgiUND8KNXybsNKqg53IcSrPK1JCH1uwpshzKP081N5cjzfxkVgDCroFxbshM7UjiUg8HKNPBeQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday recommended City Council approve a temporary specific use permit for a concrete batch plant to serve street construction in Northglenn Subdivision Phase 3, with the stipulation that the plant not produce material for off-site use.

During a public hearing, Guillermo Martinez of 329 Arbor Lane asked about residential separation distances; staff clarified that the plant location is 250 feet south of the intersection referenced on the map and that the right-of-way width (approximately 80 feet) results in a separation of about 330 feet from the nearest residences. City Attorney Jeremy Page reiterated that the ordinance caps temporary batch plants at 90 days and that an off-site-production prohibition is not automatic unless added to a motion.

Commissioners also discussed truck routing. Staff and at least one commissioner said the most likely access for heavy deliveries would be from Blue Mound Road through an existing gravel entrance on the site rather than through subdivision streets. A commissioner asked about extensions if road work is not complete within 90 days; staff confirmed an extension would require returning to the commission for further action.

A motion to recommend approval to City Council, with the condition that the plant produce no materials for off-site use, was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. If City Council concurs, the permit would be limited to the ordinance’s 90-day period and would include the no off-site-production restriction the commission added to its recommendation.

Key details in the record: site is described as a 39-acre tract in the Riley Gaines survey abstract 1268, Tract 4B, just southwest of Block H, Lot 14; staff stated the temporary period is 90 days; likely truck access from Blue Mound Road; commission required no off-site production of materials.","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission recommended City Council approve a 90-day temporary batch plant in the Northglenn Subdivision Phase 3 and added a condition that the plant produce no materials for off-site use; commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously.",{"_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},6222810,"Commission recommends approval of temporary batch plant SUP for Sweetgrass with off-site restriction",325,667000,992000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d&start=667&end=992","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d/thumbnail_667000.jpg","/articles/6222810/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-approval-of-temporary-batch-plant-SUP-for-Sweetgrass-with-off-site-restriction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222810-d489c8162c4f35c26771c7cc8addfc1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775412718&Signature=bCgo~aI9pcXa1eUUtlqPP9OYc4aM5h2hpdBEbbqK9EnKth69d48M1tEDjao3Yhv6zUj2Jp57R-EmzsJX4-BmgUe7XqG5m68oklQcc1iwxzWRfXw184VsGWM8Oc0m7NQyyF-3J~J4hqu2DOxqwMTl72tBIaMbDLnaaTwKQ4QK484SfKZPHKl4nlL8e~ChEGos8lmJDArMRG53NHUCS1P1xpmMdwblrzg1bZ~WcPJVS5duKakj~3rVCECCwdCdw7G6T5TvETLt~F~XNBEfBlarUGziw-ZHJ62KL5uzhzql~xWE2gcyJP3FhYzt3gvWa9U002ycyaAmj1zQkzqjTsAJqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday voted unanimously to recommend City Council approve a temporary specific use permit for a concrete batch plant to serve street construction in the Sweetgrass Subdivision Phase 2, with a condition that the plant not produce materials for off-site use.

Staff described the request as a temporary measure to reduce concrete truck traffic on city thoroughfares by producing material closer to the work site. The city attorney, Jeremy Page, told commissioners the ordinance sets a 90-day limit for a temporary batch plant but does not currently include a restriction on producing material for off-site use unless added to a motion.

Commissioners discussed timing and operation limits. Staff said prior applicants estimated they would be in and out in “about 2 months after they assemble,” but the ordinance language specifies a 90-day maximum for the temporary use. The commission also referenced city construction-hour rules contained in the code of ordinances: construction is allowed beginning 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset, and not on Sundays. A commissioner moved to recommend approval to council and added the restriction that the plant not produce materials for off-site use; another commissioner seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The commission noted prior approvals of similar temporary batch plants and asked staff to ensure the SUP language forwarded to council included the no off-site-production restriction. The recommendation to council makes approval subject to the ordinance time limit (90 days) and the added condition; final permit issuance and any enforcement would be handled by city staff and, if council approves, by the city’s permitting process.

Key details from the record: the SUP is for a temporary batch plant in Sweetgrass Subdivision Phase 2 on the north side of Greenbrier Road, about 300 feet north of Cedarwood Court; the ordinance limit is 90 days; hours follow the city code of ordinances construction schedule; the commission recommended approval to the City Council with the off-site-use prohibition.","Haslet planning commissioners recommended City Council approve a 90-day temporary batch plant in Sweetgrass Phase 2, adding a condition that the plant not produce materials for off-site use; motion passed unanimously.",{"_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},6222815,"Haslet planning commission unanimously recommends denial of vape shop SUP on Schoolhouse Road",435,231000,666000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d&start=231&end=666","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3577470-844341e353b384a8aa3324bb110fa39d/thumbnail_231000.jpg","/articles/6222815/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Haslet-planning-commission-unanimously-recommends-denial-of-vape-shop-SUP-on-Schoolhouse-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222815-6d28c69a7a9d5699fb0b9d0cf5aea9a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775412719&Signature=IrOPCxbacS1W3WxKUL5o3qD2HMtfPyhRTCPj4ePuwqxrB79G6~2kwemDv-XhQ~zM1V~fA7KQbGtwV8E-PBmJpjQgIOXfzWiiCJYTwXEFTA4XGe7OBdmXAtJDNCRxqQO2Q7YjQg-KURFFjPJe7al5lyarHfsdHtRpuczH1Gqbh~ZjzuKkChc1FP8MLs44k9jedzB2ozFPa9nm5QsbEnfS8~pqIZi4rR8aQ5MBCI3xih7~LW3oypGy1~PJR4Y3VDq6BAjVwc0Rya~kQJRBCfV1J2W0Mhz8-K1Db0IR1SmcVuaLDneSX3DPaKk531UAwkiktVxUvrSlg7OV7wkDVCC5nw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend that the City Council deny a specific use permit for a vape and gift shop proposed for 1099 Schoolhouse Road, Suite D.

The vote follows public comment from residents and 44 emailed objections to the permit application. Commissioners heard staff describe the request as an application for a specific use permit (SUP) that is required for smoke- and vape-related retail in properties zoned General Commercial.

The matter matters to residents because opponents said the shop would attract customers who leave paraphernalia in yards and along public streets and because of concerns about youth exposure. Eric Crawford, who identified his address as 114 Brentwood Lane, said: “We have a vape shop across the street from Harris Baptist Church, and, our staff picks up their paraphernalia all over the highway all the time in our yard.” James Taylor, who said he lives outside the city limits in the Dare Ranch, added: “It's not good for the kids. I urge you to disallow.” The city clerk read letters from four residents — including Patricia Parker, Joette Keane and Marilyn Broyles — objecting to the permit; city staff said a total of 44 emails opposed the application.

Staff told commissioners that the site is in General Commercial (GC) zoning and that state or local codes require a specific use permit for smoke- and vape-related sales at that location. Commissioners moved directly from the public hearing to action. A commissioner moved to recommend denial to council; another commissioner seconded. Chair then called the question and the motion passed unanimously.

No formal conditions or alternative approvals were adopted; the commission's action was a recommendation to the City Council, which retains final authority on the SUP. City staff will forward the commission's recommendation and the public record, including the written comments, to the council for its consideration.

The commission's decision came during a regular meeting where staff also noted community events and other agenda items. The clerk opened and closed the public hearing on the SUP before the recommendation vote.

Details recorded in the meeting: the permit application address is 1099 Schoolhouse Road, Suite D; the property is in General Commercial zoning; the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial; the vote was unanimous.","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council deny a specific use permit for a vape and gift shop at 1099 Schoolhouse Road, Suite D, after public opposition and commissioner motion.","actionData","errors"]
