Brownsville planning commission approves planned development to reduce front setbacks on Military Highway parcel
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend establishing a planned development district to reduce front setbacks from 25 to 20 feet for a 30.13-acre residential single-family parcel fronting Military Highway near Riverbend.
The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Brownsville on March 6 voted to recommend establishing a planned development district to allow reduced front setbacks on roughly 30.13 acres fronting Military Highway.
Staff presented the request as ordinance No. 235-2025-003-PD to rezone the parcel within an R-1 (residential single-family) designation and reduce required setbacks from 25 feet to 20 feet. Staff recommended approval and said the request is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and future land use map. The property was described as east‑southeast of the Riverbend area.
Commission discussion was brief; no members of the public addressed the item during the hearing. A motion to approve the staff recommendation passed with the motion carrying.
The approval by the commission is a planning recommendation; any final zoning action will be determined at subsequent City Commission proceedings. The record showed 10 mailed notices within a 200‑foot buffer and no written opposition.
