Council approves two adjoining planned developments: 10-home PD and a private community center with parking
Summary
The Euless City Council approved two planned development rezonings—one for 10 detached single-family homes and a second for a private community center and additional parking—after Planning Commission and staff recommended approval. The developments include an HOA-maintained private fire lane that may interconnect the sites.
The Euless City Council unanimously approved two adjoining planned development (PD) rezonings on Aug. 4 that will reconfigure roughly 4.3 acres near East Midway Drive and Fuller Weiser Road for a 10-lot single-family subdivision and an adjacent private community center with a remote parking lot.
Lisa Payne, interim director of planning and economic development, presented both cases. The first rezoning (PD 23-5; ordinance No. 2428) covers about 2.057 acres at the northeast corner of East Midway Drive and Fuller Weiser Road and would rezone the property from Neighborhood Business (C-1) to a PD permitting 10 detached single-family homes on a private street. Payne said the applicant proposes two-story homes with two-car garages, minimum lots of 5,200 square feet, 80% brick-or-stone façades, masonry walls along rear lot lines and a private fire lane called Boone Court that will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association. The concept plan shows 11 guest parking spaces and at least two ornamental trees in each front yard; an on-site open-space area is planned with a shade structure and cluster mailbox. Payne told council the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6–0 to recommend approval and that staff recommended approval as well.
Councilmember Pratik Patel moved to approve ordinance No. 2428 (first and final reading); Councilmember Perry Bynum seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The council then considered PD 24-01 (ordinance No. 2429), a proposal on a separate but adjacent 2.267-acre parcel immediately north of the 10-home site to allow a private community center and separate parking lot. Payne said the community center is proposed as a two-story recreation building (the concept plan showed about 10,000 square feet) to serve a nearby place of worship that lacks space for youth and senior programs. The proposal includes an underground detention system beneath the parking area, masonry screening walls along residential edges, evergreen screening trees planted at six feet tall minimum, and a wrought-iron fence on the Fuller Weiser frontage. Payne told council that code-required screening and landscaping are provided on the concept plan and that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval by a 6–0 vote; staff also recommended approval.
Councilmember Price moved to approve ordinance No. 2429 (first and final reading); Councilmember Bynum seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Payne noted the two projects show a planned fire lane connection between them that is not required for either to proceed independently; the lane will be part of the HOA maintenance area on the residential site. No public comments were received on either PD during the council public hearings.
Both ordinances are recorded as first-and-final readings; council approval will allow the applicant to proceed to platting and permitting steps required by development services and to return with site- and building-permit applications.
