Planning commission approves final plat for Nomad RV Park after acreage and utilities queries
Summary
The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a final plat for Nomad RV Park near Cotton Flat Road and Alta Vista Drive after staff addressed conflicting acreage figures and confirmed engineering-approved utility deferrals.
The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a final plat for Nomad RV Park, a proposed luxury RV park near the northeast corner of Cotton Flat Road and Alta Vista Drive.
Staff planner Madeline Mohak told the commission the applicant, represented by Maverick Engineering, requested to plat roughly 16–18 acres into a single lot for the RV park. Mohak said the site’s current zoning is single-family dwelling district in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and that the request is compatible with the Tall City Tomorrow plan. She also noted the preliminary plat had been approved by the commission on April 21, 2025, and that staff recommended approval of the final plat.
Commissioners raised two substantive issues before the vote. First, members noted inconsistent acreage figures appearing in prior minutes, the agenda and the plat itself: one reference showed 17.66 acres while other materials (including the plat cover) indicated 16.66 acres. Commissioners asked staff to reconcile the discrepancy; staff acknowledged the inconsistency in the meeting record but did not identify a final reconciliation on the record.
Second, commissioners asked about deferred improvements for paving, water and drainage. Mohak said engineering had reviewed and approved the requested deferrals: “All the deferrals were approved by engineering. The drainage letter has been approved by engineering. And all the water, the paving has been approved by engineering as well. So they’re the ones that reviewed the deferrals, and they approved them.” Staff further stated that no sewer improvements were required for the plat and that a certificate of occupancy (CO) would be withheld until required utility improvements were completed.
After those clarifications, Commissioner Offield moved to approve the final plat and Commissioner Garza seconded. The motion carried, recorded in the meeting transcript as “Motion passes 7 0.”
The approval permits the applicant to record the final plat subject to any standard technical conditions and the approved deferral schedule; staff did not state additional conditions on the record.
