The proposal, filed as planned development case 25-01 with ordinance 24 42 before the council, would have allowed indoor futsal courts, outdoor pickleball and shuffleboard courts, and a restaurant-bar in a roughly 2.37-acre site currently zoned C-1. Mayor Pro Tem Stinniferd moved to deny the rezoning; Council Member Eads seconded the motion, and the council approved the denial following public comment and council discussion.

Neighbors described the project as out of scale for the site and raised concerns about traffic at the already busy Harwood Road–Industrial Drive corridor, late-night activity, lighting and noise from outdoor courts and a bar. Vince Bassett, a Covington Hill resident, told the council, “It's zoned currently Charlie 1, C1, which means neighborhood business. That means a donut shop, a nail salon, not a big sports court with a restaurant and a bar and outdoor music and an outdoor pickle court.”

Staff presentation and applicant materials described a conceptual plan for a roughly 25,000-square-foot building with a 10,000-square-foot fenced outdoor yard, indoor futsal courts, outdoor pickleball and shuffleboard courts, and a restaurant/bar component. The applicant proposed parking at a rate of one space per 300 square feet of indoor area and three spaces per outdoor sports court (a level lower than the city’s typical code: restaurants and bars at 1 per 100 square feet, amusement uses at 1 per 200 square feet). Staff noted that if the PD were approved, the applicant would return with a detailed site plan.

The development plan would reduce the number of required front-yard trees compared with code but increase the required landscape buffer between commercial and residential uses from 5 to 15 feet; that buffer would require evergreen trees at least 6 feet tall at planting. The proposal also called for an 8-foot masonry wall along the residential property line nearest the outdoor courts, wall-mounted light fixtures no higher than 10 feet, 25-foot poles for court lighting (with shielding required for light sources within 50 feet of residences) and a building height of about 24 feet. Residents and speakers raised concerns that the conceptual drawings did not reflect existing elevation changes and tree lines.

The Planning and Zoning Commission had forwarded a recommendation of denial on Sept. 2 by a 6–2 vote. Staff reported that public-notification mailings had gone to property owners within 200 feet and that the city had received a petition with 43 signatures in opposition along with additional letters. Several neighbors who spoke at the hearing cited single-entry neighborhoods (Covington Hill was described as “one way in, one way out”), proximity to schools and drainage and wildlife concerns. Ed Turner, a crossing guard and Elmwood-area resident, said he worried that persons left intoxicated could end up in a drainage ditch near a school.

Council members said they had listened closely to residents’ concerns. One council member said they had been leaning one way prior to the hearing but were “now leaning another direction” after hearing public comment.

No formal commitments for mitigation, hours of operation or additional traffic study were adopted by council during the meeting; the matter failed with the council’s motion to deny. Because the PD application was denied at first reading, the project as proposed will not proceed to site-plan approval under the PD framework unless the applicant makes substantive changes and pursues a new application or appeals the council action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Euless - City Council","oneSentenceSummary","After a packed public hearing in which neighbors raised traffic, noise and safety concerns, the Euless City Council voted to deny a planned-development rezoning that would have allowed indoor futsal courts, outdoor courts, a restaurant and a bar at 1010 West Harwood Road.","taxTitle","Euless, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",5094,"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},6458283,"Euless council approves consent agenda and multiple temporary permits; Tapperfest approval contingent on TABC sign-off",864,152000,1016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822768-cefc35ede507dcd1bfcf06caccac0628&start=152&end=1016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822768-cefc35ede507dcd1bfcf06caccac0628/thumbnail_152000.jpg","/articles/6458283/Euless/Tarrant-County/Texas/Euless-council-approves-consent-agenda-and-multiple-temporary-permits-Tapperfest-approval-contingent-on-TABC-sign-off","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458283-e153048b28e1e9d12e3355765f3bcd17/orig.mp4?Expires=1770417867&Signature=LVk0KXJdY3Khj4~MpInbJTSlIAINB6~-yVPdREuCyCeMqOyDd3813VDf3gOpjbY~1AMDX88kXZZlaePvtPNawidECVCEmAnEwaWYDcpPpqTyWERCGccvz4mFrpX5mMc-Id2fsjOjGbByLBV~AI3YhWE7dfl2EoAD-k4-PyM52U3vhA4dIa5XKxXd3eh875WdXQ1u50MBluFKcg~a6divqZVee~4XEc34Dm4ydz3XCNnBEqTleFOEsrHgpE~i7y7~2X7j9vvba6vuhFINBnw5YxS1DTP3kCjGLYzfnDuA3eiQNe4sGd-~JSPuAI~xOVM8lUAosSv8a1lYvCYsxagefw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euless City Council approved its consent agenda and authorized several temporary-use permits for community events during the meeting.

The consent agenda passed unanimously and included authorization to purchase Brazos ticket writers and printers for the police department from Tyler Technologies Inc. through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program; a one-year subscription agreement with Flock Group Inc. to continue support for the existing Flock safety camera system; award of bid 18-25 to First Construction LLC for a restroom facility at Texas Star South Park; and authorization for the city manager to negotiate and execute a contract with LJA Engineering for design and construction administration related to the South Euless Park renovation. The council also approved Resolution No. 25-1680 authorizing an application to the Office of the Governor for the Fiscal Year 2026 body-worn camera grant program to fund body-worn cameras for elementary school resource officers, and approved the minutes of the Sept. 9, 2025 regular meeting.

Council approved three temporary-use permits presented by Development Services staff (identified in the record as Lisa). The permits and staff summaries were:

- Mid Cities Greek Food Festival (Saint John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church, 303 Colum Drive): private Taverna night Oct. 2 (6–10 p.m.) followed by public events Oct. 3–5 (daily hours mostly 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.–3 p.m.). The event will use on-site parking plus overflow at Ullis Heritage Museum and a nearby Sikh temple, and will include four large tents (including a 100-by-60-foot main tent with stage and seating). The council approved the temporary-use permit.

- Tapperfest (Brass Tap, Vineyard Village Shopping Center, 2720 State Highway 121, Suite 600) — an Oktoberfest-style beer festival proposed for Saturday, Oct. 11, 11 a.m.–10 p.m., with a fenced/barricaded paid area, amplified music (DJs and evening cover band), vendor booths, brewery sampling and staged pop-up mini-bars. Staff reported that off-duty Euless police officers were being secured for event security, that the fire lane and shared drive aisle would remain clear, and that alcohol would be served under the Brass Tap’s license with breweries providing samples. Council approved the permit ‘‘pending approval of TABC’’ (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission); staff said TABC confirmation was still outstanding.

- Tonga Family Day (Euless Tongan Community Committee, Leon Hogg Amphitheater and Pavilion, Bear Creek Park): a Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day event on Monday, Oct. 13, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., with traditional dancers, a DJ, bounce house and roughly 10 food booths; staff estimated 200–300 attendees and certified on-site parking with overflow options. The council approved the permit.

Staff recommended all three permits. For Tapperfest, Council Member Paddell proposed adding the condition that approval be contingent on receipt of the required TABC authorization; council approved the motion with that condition.

City staff presented maps and logistics for each event, including setup and teardown dates and temporary fire-lane configurations. For the Greek Food Festival, staff noted a revised fire-lane layout and double-lane approach to the overflow grassy lot; the Brass Tap event plan included barricades, vendor tent separation to prevent connected continuous tenting, and staged fencing that would keep the paid alcohol area contained. The Tonga Family Day plan identified permanent on-site restrooms and several overflow parking options nearby.

Motions to approve the consent agenda and permits were seconded by council members and passed by unanimous vote or by majority with the noted TABC contingency for Tapperfest. No substantive amendments to the event permits were adopted at the council dais.","The council unanimously approved the consent agenda including equipment purchases, a parks restroom construction contract and a grant application for body-worn cameras, and approved temporary-use permits for several community events; approval for an Oktoberfest-style Tapperfest is contingent on Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) approval.","actionData","errors"]
