Planning staff presented the master zoning plan (MZP) showing 12 commercial buildings and seven attached townhomes with heights ranging from about 18 feet to 65 feet. “The proposed development is in character with the uses in proximity, and it’s keeping with the policies and the G-4 suburban walkable land use designation within Plan El Paso,” staff said. Public notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet; staff reported one phone call and one email of inquiry but no formal letters of support or opposition in the record.

Staff recommended approval with conditions: a 10-foot landscaped buffer (high-profile native trees, irrigated and installed prior to certificates of occupancy) along residential abutting property lines; a 500-foot separation between establishments that both derive 51%+ of income from on-site alcohol sales and provide outdoor amplified sound; and a 6-foot masonry wall along the western property line of the adjacent Talbot Place Unit 2 subdivision.

The applicant, Conrad Conde of Conde Incorporated, told commissioners the team concurred with staff comments. Public speakers raised access and traffic concerns, noting Talbot Avenue and outlet-mall traffic congestion; commissioners discussed view impacts, height (up to 65 feet), and the role of the required landscape buffer. Commissioners approved the rezoning and master zoning plan by recorded vote (five yeas, two nays).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Plan Commission 6/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City Plan Commission approved rezoning to General Mixed Use (GMU) and a binding master zoning plan for a 29.42-acre site near the outlet mall to allow mixed commercial and townhouse development, conditioned on landscaping, a masonry wall, and limits on certain alcohol/amplified-sound uses.","taxTitle","El Paso City, El Paso County, Texas","taxId",2792,"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},6554382,"Commission approves Plan El Paso amendment and rezoning to allow neighborhood commercial on Westside Drive despite public concern",2040,1197000,3237000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7&start=1197&end=3237","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7/thumbnail_1197000.jpg","/articles/6554382/El-Paso-City/El-Paso-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Plan-El-Paso-amendment-and-rezoning-to-allow-neighborhood-commercial-on-Westside-Drive-despite-public-concern","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554382-97ab92667509c19f664b81731d1ba002/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193957&Signature=lVJKdmS4AyRZE6zr3eW-GXXjVmbCJfMeVfh9RztIqgx-2HuuwFvmwCYSdVjiE6SlO7tJJRBUk-rIYNB35sAxMdb4EHWudblsaSHPVP76l7sXHMYkt8f0R~54NoDn~N~P3dGrgPKJbCoKVagrl0g4UGz6hEmugTtrtOF4m8nW3cIfvZ6IybGFhVGUL5PNjl7HS4QYQn39-G-XGgQsr3hI6CsWo4fjo~ePhMCbaB4TQYVk-T92WKvpTcb26gBvXNFeicirm80Ln8VuQlgkcBDL0ozkfBLTP0wmJLYDkX4Tck5Aa6KgKs3aXjxIN7AekP-ctqJyLU60dbq3nBCiqo2HLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Plan Commission approved a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation and a related rezoning to permit neighborhood commercial development for a 5.1-acre vacant property south of Artcraft Road and west of Westside Drive.

Staffer Andrew Sloane said the applicant requested to change the Plan El Paso future land use designation from O-3 (agriculture) to G-4 (suburban walkable) and to rezone from RF (ranch and farm) to C-1 (neighborhood commercial) to allow a convenience store with gas pumps and a shopping center. “Access to the subject property will be from Westside Drive,” Sloane said, and he noted any vehicular access from Artcraft Road (a state highway) requires coordination and approval from TxDOT.

Staff recommended approval with conditions including: review of a detailed site development plan prior to certificates of occupancy; a minimum 500-foot separation between establishments that both derive 51% or more of income from on-site alcohol sales and provide outdoor amplified sound; no office-warehouse uses; construction of a 5-foot sidewalk along Westside Drive prior to occupancy; and no egress for semi trucks heading southbound on Westside Drive.

Speakers from the public raised concerns that a gas station and drive-through businesses are not compatible with the Northwest Upper Valley Plan’s call for neighborhood-compatible uses and asked for community amenities such as a recreation center, dog park or community garden. Staff and the applicant said C-1 is defined as neighborhood commercial in Title 20 and that final mitigation of access and design occurs at detailed site plan review.

The commission took the items together, heard public comment, and then voted to approve the Plan El Paso amendment and the rezoning with the staff conditions. A roll-call vote recorded five yeas and two nays.","The City Plan Commission approved an amendment to Plan El Paso and rezoned a 5.1-acre site along Westside Drive from RF to C-1 to allow a convenience store with gas pumps and a shopping center, subject to conditions including a 5-foot sidewalk and a 500-foot separation for certain alcohol/amplified-sound businesses.",{"_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},6554387,"Commission approves Majestic Sands Unit 1 subdivision in El Paso extraterritorial area with landscaping condition",561,494000,1055000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7&start=494&end=1055","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7/thumbnail_494000.jpg","/articles/6554387/El-Paso-City/El-Paso-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Majestic-Sands-Unit-1-subdivision-in-El-Paso-extraterritorial-area-with-landscaping-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554387-95a044b2b0377605ca4d05014a9586a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193957&Signature=YhahFOI1B2vYiqmUJZBZqH4YNjMGrXQuU6t0fVdyf45PDfzAjFiHni6YfiHuGiACXnKKNNHdDfT14xch-kTFKa7O2LIB3PcaY~RgjsOYwpAFtSs5zYROtdGvQIr5DkhcYwphNJsdmV9d6Sf8vOX537BoIKmm6Rp85IWzX4YYR6F8-n9ZVBtg5PcbRlK9O1sVHwV1rcP9qqDLCD1H8DmM~z2R9OjPqZqf3-wZKo4aXy7ntCDiorX7jfoy6j~XI-u1oTVUo3y~ICMpoy~d9SoV4G5qTHcBSIiPfcyFVzPb3d0DAbS3UyJHrMEvzzeX3EmPNZvj3bdDXaRTn5P3emx8Cw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Plan Commission on June 18 approved a major combination subdivision, Majestic Sands Unit 1, in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction east of Joe Battle Boulevard and south of Pelicano Drive.

Planning staff member Mirna Aguilar explained the proposal: the applicant would subdivide 8.46 acres into 38 single-family lots and one 0.77-acre drainage pond. “Stormwater drainage will be managed by surface run off to the drainage pond site provided by the subdivision,” Aguilar said. Staff recommended approval with a condition requiring the applicant to landscape rear and all double-frontage lots in accordance with Section 19 of the El Paso City Code.

Commission discussion focused on walkability and access. Commissioner Carrillo and others raised concerns about connectivity and whether the development would be car dependent; staff and the applicant noted the site is in the county rather than inside city limits, and county subdivision standards differ from city zoning rules. Applicant Alan Herrera of CA Group said the team concurred with staff comments.

A motion to approve, including the staff-prescribed landscaping condition, passed on a recorded vote. The transcript records commissioners opposing the item (two nays) while the motion carried with five yeas.

The approval is conditioned on the landscaping requirement for double-frontage lots; the applicant must comply with the master conditions in the staff report and any platting requirements for improvements and drainage.","The City Plan Commission recommended approval of Majestic Sands Unit 1, an 8.46-acre subdivision in El Paso's extraterritorial jurisdiction to create 38 single-family lots and a drainage pond, conditioned on landscaping of double-frontage lots per Section 19.",{"_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},6554392,"City Plan Commission approves Graham Estate subdivision, waives sidewalk and roadway requirements",213,293000,506000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7&start=293&end=506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024609-3b942e6bb528bd8fdb6638daf42f58e7/thumbnail_293000.jpg","/articles/6554392/El-Paso-City/El-Paso-County/Texas/City-Plan-Commission-approves-Graham-Estate-subdivision-waives-sidewalk-and-roadway-requirements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554392-d639ca9676420851f890db17d96cc7e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193957&Signature=Hb~l-Q2XqBopXTelz4TIj1yV7hshw9Ruhz35~Ss-TuWJjlpKa2ATf8Eq1PbfNdnyeo5B-bKk8dzmgLSmu7-fAQik983zAV1OJKiQEN53cVODSZ9UbgeRpsUfCh0zvUDmTbiVvG-LThAL5QvqDtyrdcVSUyPv097Xx4j23aOuAV852rwMdfN~kmeXojX9IO52emfl7MXT9-NKgUVNPI3LMpC7~5XxzcSBsKVDwk8vJesVeuU9wD8TzjzenhaFgArO1w2LAQny~BDrsSFcj-qWNFe2AuGHZEVCkl5DGPv9zupOJhJVjWzR0DRPZDmlnsioHBuRmRTrD~QuUHjAPZ2J4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Plan Commission on June 18 approved the Graham Estate major combination subdivision, a 0.18-acre lot subdivision proposed north of Borderland Road and east of Donovan Drive.

Mirna Aguilar, planning and inspections staff, told the commission the applicant proposed to subdivide 0.18 acres to create one residential lot and asked for two exceptions: to waive construction of a 5-foot sidewalk and to waive construction of 2.25 feet of roadway along Easyway Lane. “Staff recommends approval of Greyhound Estates on a major combination basis and approval on the exception request as they both comply with title 19 requirements,” Aguilar said.

The staff presentation described stormwater management by on-site ponding and showed required and existing cross-sections for Easyway Lane. The applicant, Jorge Garcia of SiteWorx Engineering, said the firm agreed with staff comments.

Commissioners asked about the existing roadway and sidewalks. Aguilar confirmed Easyway Lane is two-way. Following applicant remarks, a commissioner moved to approve the item “with all the requests,” the motion was seconded, and the commission approved the subdivision by voice vote.

No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript for this item. The approval included the exceptions as described by staff; the applicant will be required to comply with the conditions in the staff report and Title 19 of the El Paso City ordinances.

The commission proceeded to the next agenda item following the vote.","The City Plan Commission approved the Graham Estate major combination subdivision in El Paso, including exception requests to waive a 5-foot sidewalk and a 2.25-foot roadway improvement along Easyway Lane.
