Commission approves rezoning to allow "hangar homes" and unattached units; applicant keeps unit count at 26
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 23 voted 7-0 to recommend approval of a PD-to-PD rezoning to allow an unlisted use described as "hangar homes" (single-family units with attached hangars) and to reduce a building separation requirement from 10 feet to 5 feet; the item moves to City Council on Oct. 21, 2025.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 Sept. 23 to close the public hearing and recommend approval of a rezoning request to permit “hangar homes” — single-family residences with attached hangars — in a PD (plan development) district. The commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to City Council for final consideration on Oct. 21, 2025.
Planner Araceli (Ari) Mateo described the request as a PD-to-PD rezoning to permit the unlisted use “hangar homes” and to modify certain dimensional standards. “Staff recommends approval of the request,” Mateo said.
Developer representative Jeannie Klein, who said she specializes in aviation-community sales and consults on projects of this type, told commissioners the proposed change does not alter the previously approved overall unit count. “It’s the same unit count, though,” Klein said, describing a conversion from attached townhome/duplex-style units to individual units with hangars; the applicant confirmed the project would remain at about 26 units.
The applicant also requested a change to separation standards — reducing the required separation between buildings from 10 feet to 5 feet while maintaining a minimum 5-foot setback — to better fit the product on the lots. Staff said the proposed use aligns with existing area uses and recommended approval.
No members of the public spoke on the item. Commissioner Charles moved to close the public hearing and approve the item as presented; Commissioner Jesse seconded. The motion passed 7 to 0 and will be forwarded to City Council on Oct. 21, 2025.
The approval at P&Z covers the rezoning recommendation only; site plans, elevations and final engineering will be reviewed during subsequent submittals to staff and at later hearings as required.
