The Euless City Council meeting held on September 23, 2025, focused on a proposed zoning change for a site located at 1010 West Harwood Road. The meeting featured numerous residents expressing their concerns regarding the potential development of a sports restaurant and bar in a predominantly residential area.

The session began with public comments, where several residents voiced their opposition to the rezoning from C1 to a planned development (PD) designation. Many residents, including Bonnie Bailey, Brent and Lisonbee Weaver, and Linda Hall, highlighted the negative impacts such a development could have on their quality of life, property values, and neighborhood safety.

Concerns were raised about increased traffic, noise, and potential crime associated with a bar. Residents like Terry Hecker and Vicky Ottensman emphasized the existing traffic issues on Harwood Road, noting that the addition of a bar could exacerbate dangerous driving conditions. Hecker also pointed out the wildlife in the area that would be affected by the proposed development.

Several speakers, including Hall and Parker, argued that the proposed establishment would not fit the character of the neighborhood, which is known for its mature trees and family-friendly environment. Hall specifically mentioned that the area has been recognized for its green spaces and that the introduction of a bar could lead to increased crime and disturbances, negatively impacting property values.

The council heard from multiple residents who submitted petitions against the zoning change, with Parker presenting a petition containing 84 signatures. The residents collectively urged the council to consider the long-term implications of allowing a bar in a residential area, advocating for the preservation of the neighborhood's integrity and safety.

As the meeting progressed, the council members listened attentively to the residents' concerns, indicating a need for further discussion and consideration before making a decision on the proposed zoning change. The meeting concluded with a commitment to review the feedback provided by the community, ensuring that the voices of Euless residents are taken into account in the decision-making process.
