The Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee on Aug. 13 approved a resolution finalizing the subdivision of the Freedom Graphic System property at 780 McClure Road into three lots.

City planner Steve Bravo told the committee the proposal splits two existing parcels into three: Lot 1 around the existing building and fronting McClure Road, Lot 2 to the south where green space and a parking lot sit, and Lot 3 containing stormwater detention at the rear. Bravo said the plat includes standard city easements — stormwater detention easements, city easements and cross-access easements connecting the site’s northern and southern access points. He also said the petitioner and city engineering are finalizing language for a sign easement on the McClure Road frontage.

The petition’s representative, Kevin Noland, identified himself as vice president of facilities and described the business as a direct-mail printer that performs printing, assembly and mailing on site. Noland said the company handles “up to, approximately 6,000,000,000 pieces of mail per year” and that the expansion would allow the facility to consolidate mail and obtain postal discounts. "So we're a printer. So we do we're full in house, so we we print and we assemble the pieces all together into an envelope and we actually mail it out of our facility," Noland said.

Committee members asked no substantive questions during the presentation. Bravo confirmed staff recommended approval subject to the sign-easement language being finalized with city engineering; he said zoning, engineering and the petitioner were "all on the same page" about that condition.

Alderman Juany Garza moved approval of the resolution; the motion was seconded (the transcript records the second alderman's name inconsistently). The committee recorded the vote as 3 yes, 0 no, with two members not in attendance; the resolution was approved. The committee also approved minutes from its July 23, 2025 meeting earlier in the session.

The committee concluded there was no need for a closed session and adjourned. No follow-up actions, dates or department assignments were stated on the record beyond the requirement that final sign-easement language be coordinated with city engineering.
