Pharr planning board approves four plats, forwards mobile food-park final plat to city commission
Summary
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Pharr planning board approved minutes and four subdivision plats — including a proposed mobile food park on West State Street — and noted one abstention on a housing replat. Items will proceed to the city commission where specified.
The Pharr Planning and Zoning Commission approved the minutes of its June 23, 2025, meeting and voted to approve four land-plat items at its meeting.
Silberto Martinez, a planning staff member, told the commission, “For the record, my name is Silberto Martinez… Today, we have 4 items for your recommendation today.” He described each property and staff recommendations that accompanied the plats.
The most prominent item on the agenda was a final plat for a proposed Bridal Food Court State Avenue subdivision, a 0.37-acre parcel on the 400 block of West State Street currently zoned General Business District C. Staff recommended final-plat approval conditioned on the items in the staff report. The board approved the motion; Martinez noted the item will go before the city commission at a July meeting at 4 p.m.
The board also approved a preliminary plat for the AJZ subdivision, a 0.22-acre tract near the 600 block of South Cage Boulevard currently zoned Office Professional District; staff said the proposed use is a medical office. The commission approved a preliminary replat of Lots 1 and 4 of the South Wind Garden subdivision, a 6.714-acre replat on the 1900 block of West Ridge Road described for multifamily use with retail fronting the street.
Finally, the commission approved a preliminary replan of a housing-development subdivision described as 4.435 acres out of Lot 165, Kelly Farms Subdivision, located in the 100 block of West Oak Avenue. The vote on that item included a recorded abstention; the transcript records an abstention without attaching a name.
Board discussion on the plat items was brief; no public testimony was registered for any of the items. Staff repeatedly noted that variances were not requested on these plats and that the projects were designated for commercial or multifamily uses consistent with the land-use plan.
Votes at a glance: all motions carried. Where a subsequent hearing was required or noted, staff indicated the item will proceed to the city commission (Bridal Food Court final plat). The meeting transcript records only vocal aye/second forms of votes and does not provide individual roll-call tallies for each motion.
The commission closed the meeting with an announcement about an upcoming public open house (see separate notice).
