Summary
Staff updated the Planning and Zoning Commission on multiple active projects: Freeman Toyota engineering submittals, Latera Medical moving vertical, a new fire station under construction, a potential QT site, and three industrial warehouses by Stream Realty that require interior fire‑lane and roadway work.
City planning staff briefed the commission on several current and near‑term development projects during the Jan. 28 meeting.
Freeman Toyota: Staff said Freeman Toyota is working on engineering plans and has begun submittals; significant earthwork will be required because of grade changes on the site.
Latera Medical and La Terra Village: Staff reported the Latera medical site is going vertical and noted it is immediately in front of the other two La Terra Village buildings discussed earlier in the meeting. Staff reiterated that a third building shown on the site plan will require a separate site plan submission in the future.
Fire station and QT: The city’s new fire station (location on FM 156 corridor) was reported as a major forthcoming project that will be “a big deal” when completed. Staff said QT (convenience/gas) remains in the permitting queue and is working toward final plan submittals.
Industrial warehouses (Stream Realty): Staff said three industrial buildings north of Pass Drive remain in the permit stage but are expected to become active; developers and city engineers are working to complete a gap roadway between Intermodal North and Haslet Parkway/Asset Parkway that will serve as fire lanes for those facilities. Staff said a meeting with the developer was scheduled to resolve access and light requirements.
Farmers market appropriation: Staff noted a congressional appropriations line item for a City of Haslet farmers market and teaching gardens in the amount of $2,300,000 is pending and awaiting congressional action; staff will monitor that item and follow up with lobbyists and the city attorney regarding timing of a possible March vote in Congress.
Staff encouraged commissioners to expect more project submittals in coming weeks and noted that some previously stalled sites are becoming active.
