Granbury commission denies rezoning request at 5301 U.S. Highway 377 for manufactured-home display
Summary
The Granbury Planning Zoning Commission voted to deny a future land use map amendment and a zoning change requested by the applicant seeking to display manufactured-home models at 5301 U.S. Highway 377. Staff had recommended denial and no public support letters were received.
The Granbury Planning Zoning Commission on Monday denied a request to change a property at 5301 U.S. Highway 377 from retail-office on the city's future land use map to 'industrial business park' and to rezone the five-acre parcel from Interim Holding to industrial zoning. The applicant said the change was sought to allow temporary display models of manufactured homes.
The request was presented by city planning staff and applicant Hunter Coleman of CRB Asset Management. Cody (city staff) told the commission the property is at the corner of U.S. Highway 377 and M and M Road and that staff had mailed two required notices and published notice in the Hood County newspaper on March 29. Cody said staff recommended denial of both the future land use map change and the zoning change. He told commissioners there were no letters in favor or against as of the hearing.
Hunter Coleman, representing the property owner, said the intention was not a permanent manufactured-home park but a short-term group of model units. "Our ultimate goal is to, basically have a model manufactured home, 3 to 4 units, just various size options," Coleman said, adding the homes "wouldn't be permanently affixed to the property" and that the business would be "somewhat independent" of an existing Premier Homes operation on the site.
Commissioner Hayes questioned whether an industrial zoning designation could later allow other industrial uses that the commission could not limit. "There's no way to limit what industrial use goes in there once the zoning is done. Is that correct?" he asked. Cody confirmed that many industrial uses allowed by the zoning ordinance could occupy the site unless specifically subject to a special use permit, which would require additional review.
Commissioner Hayes moved to recommend denial of the future land use map amendment; Commissioner Moore seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote. The commission then considered the zoning change; a motion to recommend denial of the zoning change was made and seconded by Commissioners Hafe and Classe, respectively, and also carried by voice vote.
The commission record shows staff considered whether the requested change would be appropriate in the immediate area and noted that the properties along this section of U.S. Highway 377 are currently zoned Interim Holding. Staff concluded the proposal would represent only a small increase in industrial land supply but that the Industrial designation would not align with the corridor's retail-office characterization in the ongoing comprehensive-plan work.
No formal letters supporting or opposing the request were filed with staff before the hearing. The applicant said he had previously applied for a special use permit, which was denied while the tract remained Interim Holding; the zoning change request followed that denial.
The commission's denial leaves the property's future land use and interim holding zoning unchanged pending any future applications or appeals.
