The Forney City Council approved a set of zoning and plan-development ordinances after public hearings and votes on multiple items affecting parcels in Fox Hollow, Meadow Ridge Farm and other plan-development districts.

The approvals included: (1) a conditional-use permit to allow an auto-repair-major use at 12201 Currency Circle (ordinance language provided during the hearing), (2) a conditional-use permit to allow auto-parts sales (an O’Reilly Auto Parts store) near Monitor Boulevard and FM 741 (assigned ordinance number 20526), (3) rezoning 4.411 acres north of Ridgecrest Road and west of Reader Road from agricultural and light industrial to Planned Development overlay and adding it to the Meadow Ridge Farm PD (assigned ordinance 2527), and (4) an amendment to the Meadow Ridge PD to add concept-plan and design standards to allow cottage-style multifamily on 17.64 acres (assigned ordinance 2528). Each item was presented by staff, followed by brief council questions, and each motion passed on recorded vote.

City staff said the O’Reilly application proposed a 7,885-square-foot retail building with hours of operation Monday–Saturday, 7:30 a.m.–9 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Planning & Zoning initially split on the O’Reilly request (3–3) and later recommended approval (4–2) after the applicant confirmed a screening wall would be provided to separate the commercial use from planned residential to the north. Staff noted adjacent property notifications produced mixed responses; Lake Pointe Church said it was neutral and some nearby residents expressed opposition to locating an auto-parts store at the neighborhood entrance on FM 741.

On the Meadow Ridge PD amendment, staff said multi‑family use was already allowed but the amendment changes only the design standards to permit a cottage-style multifamily product similar to a previously approved Avila project; council members asked about unit count and plotting, and staff said the amended parcel could be plotted as one large lot with roughly 200 units under the concept provided.

Each ordinance includes standard severability, savings, repealer and penalty clauses and an effective-date/provision for publication as read into the record. The council closed public hearings, moved items for approval (motions by Councilmember Traylor and seconds by Councilmember Schlenzker among others), and called votes. All listed motions passed.
