Rezoning proposed at 1212 West Murphy Road for red-light therapy spa; access and platting noted as outstanding

City staff briefed the Planning and Zoning Commission on a proposal to rezone 1212 West Murphy Road from agricultural to Planned Unit Development-Commercial (PUDC) to allow a commercial use — proposed as a red-light therapy spa — on a parcel that currently includes a single-family home.

Staff said the applicant intends to retain and update the existing structure to meet commercial building standards and that the property’s future land-use category shows commercial. The applicant submitted a plat that proposed splitting the parcel into two lots, but staff said Lot 1 as proposed would not meet CC-1 standards and the plat is on hold. Access will be an issue: the parcel’s driveway connections and a required connection to an existing fire access easement must be resolved. Commissioners and staff discussed whether access could be routed to Precinct Line Road; staff said that would require TXDOT approval because that road falls under state jurisdiction.

Staff noted it had not received formal opposition as of the work session but said it had spoken with a neighborhood HOA president, who indicated some concern about a commercial entrance on a residential street. Staff said the intent is to establish CC-1 as the base district and modify issues by PUD where needed; grading, drainage and full site-plan review will follow at the site-plan stage.
