Staff noted Juneteenth is a national holiday and recommended moving the meeting rather than holding it on the holiday. Commissioners discussed possible alternative dates (including a later week date) and noted constraints such as council-chambers availability and public attendance challenges for midday meetings. After a brief availability check and a poll of members in the chamber, a motion to set the meeting for Wednesday, June 18 was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.

Staff indicated it will poll members and check chamber availability for the new date. The commission’s action formally sets the June meeting for June 18; staff will post the revised agenda and notice consistent with open-meeting requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting 06/05/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission voted to move the regularly scheduled June 19 meeting to Wednesday, June 18, after staff recommended avoiding the Juneteenth federal holiday and commissioners discussed availability and chamber scheduling.","taxTitle","Laredo, Webb County, Texas","taxId",2820,"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},6211074,"Commission approves series of preliminary and final plats, including Embarcadero Phase 7 and Gator Pointe Phase 3",254,1261000,1515000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324&start=1261&end=1515","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324/thumbnail_1261000.jpg","/articles/6211074/Laredo/Webb-County/Texas/Commission-approves-series-of-preliminary-and-final-plats-including-Embarcadero-Phase-7-and-Gator-Pointe-Phase-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211074-316f4bd9c39ba2a3bf3433017560210a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144944&Signature=F2fSCQdXkVnnh4VoistkG9d0ttEHEeALf0kZ32yH~syGfPHG3FcNVjuGQ5LDvCKnF57HtITb1mtE70dvC3RzuBYpmvCvm9TTmsksgB8CS-aWQb4RvwoMuGF1wXrDLDIyvodZUoUJn7lQnGUs8nL3Pzx4gX8MoZ6ORhPNgNjflHczEnmSTw5GDUZbLeCoUvKoWbgVtu-ZMpNY7BRGoInQzsnE0HDxQBtHRSdG~a2KmI-FGlnZ-O081IAYDA6fZhDZTW12JEH~DjKQ7BFL7SXocvtOEbsDFPbh~Oz2ZF1x0EdeC7gueZhxfB1i1QfL1sfuD5OKtXL0tX08OWLnlH9M1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laredo Planning and Zoning Commission approved a slate of preliminary and final plats and subdivision-compliance items listed on the agenda, moving multiple residential plats forward in the review and permitting process.

Items approved included preliminary and final consideration of replats and subdivisions such as the replat of Track 7 Laredo Ranchets into Lots 7A–7D (extraterritorial jurisdiction), the replat of Lot 22 Block 2 Los Altos Subdivision into Lots 22A and 22B, the replat of Lot 7 Block 7 Pueblo Nuevo into Lots 7A–7C, final consideration of Embarcadero Phase 7, Codes at Winfield Phase 8, the replat of Lot 1A Block 1 (Fire Station No. 12) and Arthur Miller Court extension plat, Gator Pointe Subdivision Phase 3, and Las Abas Subdivision. The commission also approved subdivision-compliance items for 3 Points Village and Santa Elena Subdivision Phase 2.

Staff presented the plats and recommended approval subject to standard staff comments for each item. Several applicants or engineers were present to answer questions; where engineers were not present, the commission proceeded with staff recommendations and motions to approve. Motions to approve were seconded and carried on voice votes with no recorded opposition during the meeting.

Approvals advance each plat to the next procedural stage, after which applicants must satisfy any remaining staff conditions (e.g., utility, traffic, or fire department requirements) before final construction permits and site work can begin.","The commission approved multiple preliminary and final plats and subdivision compliance items, including plats in the extraterritorial jurisdiction and several final plats listed on the agenda; votes were recorded in favor and items passed by voice vote.",{"_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},6211078,"Commission approves revised Vista Verde master plan after developer, staff and TxDOT coordination",195,507000,702000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324&start=507&end=702","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324/thumbnail_507000.jpg","/articles/6211078/Laredo/Webb-County/Texas/Commission-approves-revised-Vista-Verde-master-plan-after-developer-staff-and-TxDOT-coordination","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211078-6f65f5bf949777485871fb890c0990be/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144944&Signature=BDRPtu5gMUbvyoi-tN7mKelABIladqggJsE9pnTclEyaZac0RMB2~-ULEM01lOrqDr4Xz7I-PGbYhBc0FlCIxiZQ9j1XDOvRTwNgl1gHLOzbr7KNgj3M9iQsrYkAWX69szKBk8sxQMp0g3Nql6Qgo0zAIU2GHHlVW0RbDngkf0Nkkf1~r07XDcZdWPOOIhT6CtJo5divo9ZH5nkXFYJ76FHbr7-G4I7Nny81~Azqvx0r-XPqBR08n4pXwesI2JZxtaGlHy7y6hMzPJ0~RjXa58lEOa1cRrD5rYkpqZ0AU8Is0v3xs2svcvIEXjxwo28R4HcWOtoc~wTWuotlUvG81A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laredo Planning and Zoning Commission approved a revision to the Vista Verde Subdivision master plan, a proposed 339-lot residential development, after the developer and staff described recent coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and resolved several staff comments.

Miguel Jimenez, civil engineer with Howden Engineering representing Rhodes Enterprise, told the commission the master plan was resubmitted after the applicant received new alignment and drainage information from TxDOT and adjusted phase locations. Jimenez said the resubmission also reduced lot counts and reconfigured phases so the developer could begin work away from an intersection pending final alignment with TxDOT. “We actually coordinated and got TxDOT to meet with the planning department, city staff,” Jimenez said. He added the design TxDOT had provided was at about 60% completion and that TxDOT had not committed full funding.

In discussion commissioners and staff focused on three staff comments the applicant asked to remove: planning comment number 3 (relating to thresholds for dead-end streets and dwelling-unit counts) and traffic comments 6 and 7 (related to providing a collector/loop and 60-foot rights-of-way at certain intersections). Jimenez said he had coordinated with fire and traffic departments and requested those items be stricken because the project would remain under critical thresholds and because the subdivision would not include a collector road in the proposed locations. Staff confirmed meetings had occurred with TxDOT but told the commission TxDOT’s design and funding were not yet final.

A motion to approve the master-plan revision “subject to staff comments, but removing, comment 3 from items in the staff list and removing 6 and 7 from the traffic comments” carried after a second and a voice vote. The commission recorded concurrence that the developer would return with revised plans as phases advance and that the developer would implement required roadway and drainage revisions consistent with subsequent approvals.

The record notes the applicant as Rhodes Enterprise, engineer Howden Engineering, and that the site’s current zoning is agricultural. Commission action was limited to the master-plan revision and did not commit city funding; staff comments and future traffic/fire approvals remain conditions for subsequent plats and construction permits.","The commission approved a revised master plan for the 339-lot Vista Verde subdivision after the developer said the plan was resubmitted to reflect new TxDOT information; the approval removed three specific staff/traffic comments by motion.",{"_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},6211083,"Planning commission approves conditional use permit for SmartCom switching station at 5409 Springfield Avenue",93,383000,476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324&start=383&end=476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699957-39d2c376cc40c7f0a9bef47e84f16324/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6211083/Laredo/Webb-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-conditional-use-permit-for-SmartCom-switching-station-at-5409-Springfield-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211083-a227bde4f3df548f3abc30dbfe4e7a60/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144944&Signature=GpzaUZ5M8rwqZyA~orilc1OSC1Rs7Rk9BzMDO2CXhtMT4CIt-4I8g6eIgci5iBKvQl59I7tdXSO8qdPdMdcDbXhBLz72qZKgavv48Dy7ojnu84mGCbNO03~5wKZ0dF-DTUf2OAjMKaMdQgHEe8wzUIKpoPXFRsIMIMGXo3-32dWmvKM1~psqjd3XykRNF6tbtSRtJYZwa0nYEbCR0386wq9Wfuz0MF8Z1i-sFPDpr3e215mP7gqQJIQguJon5w8hPcjqiUbWETyb2NNNvC3oFm~9EL8MHRw5jnnXXK0uFCi8dKDWTjkqgISDBsimMtVD3EYKS8Mzl3x7I1-eQsmF3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laredo Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a conditional use permit authorizing a phone exchange switching station at Lot 2, Block 54, Carlton Gardens Division Subdivision No. 2, located at 5409 Springfield Avenue.

At the public hearing the staff presenter summarized the application and described the proposed use as “a facility in a telecommunications network that connects telephone calls by routing them from 1 phone line to the other,” and displayed photos of typical switching-station facilities. The presenter concluded, “staff supports Approval of motion. Thank you, madam chair.”

No members of the public spoke for or against the item during the hearing. A commissioner moved to close the public hearing and “support staff's recommendation for conditioners permit.” The motion was seconded and the chair called the vote; commissioners voted in favor and the motion passed.

The applicant listed in the record is SmartCom Telephone LLC; the representative named in the presentation record is Alan Yoder. The action updates the city’s zoning map via a conditional use approval for the parcel at the stated address. The commission recorded no conditions beyond staff comments and no public opposition at the hearing.

The matter will be reflected in the official zoning records and any required permits for construction or equipment installation will proceed through normal city permitting channels.","The Laredo Planning and Zoning Commission voted to close the public hearing and approve a conditional use permit allowing a phone exchange switching station at 5409 Springfield Ave., following staff recommendation and no public opposition at the hearing.","actionData","errors"]
