Manor council rejects special-use permit for 10,000-square-foot medical office
Summary
After debate over annexation-era sales-tax rules and neighborhood impacts, the City Council voted 4-1 to deny a specific-use permit for a proposed 10,000-square-foot medical office at 13400 E. U.S. Highway 290.
Manor City Council voted 4-1 Wednesday to deny a specific-use permit (SUP) that would have allowed a 10,000-square-foot medical office at 13400 E. U.S. Highway 290.
The permit was the subject of extended discussion about whether the city can claim sales tax revenue on the parcel and about how the use fits Manor’s long-range plans. Jeff Stenzland, a Place 5 planning and zoning commissioner speaking as a resident, told the council the parcel was annexed after 2013 and warned the city could lose sales tax revenue over the long term if the council approved the SUP. “I see this as defunding our police department,” Stenzland said, adding the change could also impact building services, a future recreation center and the planned public library.
