Commission approves rezoning to R-40 for 10-lot subdivision off John McCain Road

The Colleyville Planning and Zoning Commission on April 14 voted to recommend rezoning about 11.7 acres from Agricultural to R-40 single-family residential to allow a 10-lot subdivision with access from John McCain Road. The vote in favor was unanimous.

Staff presented the application (ZC25-006), saying the property’s future land use is residential and that the proposed lots meet Land Development Code standards for R-40. The proposal followed a prior submittal that was withdrawn so the applicant could address questions about access and compliance; the applicant revised the plan to meet code and reduced the number of lots from an earlier concept.

Curtis Young, representing the applicant, described outreach to neighbors, the developer’s willingness to preserve prominent trees, and technical drainage studies. Neighbors and the Monticello Homeowners Association attended and noted drainage concerns downstream; applicant representatives and the neighbors’ consultant met and discussed mitigation options. Staff and the applicant said follow-up drainage details will be required as part of the final plat and construction plan reviews; the city engineer confirmed the final engineering must address drainage and any erosion concerns prior to construction.

Commissioners praised the applicant’s revisions and outreach. Commissioner Groves moved to recommend rezoning to R-40; Commissioner Savoy seconded and the recommendation passed unanimously. The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action; the final plat and construction plans must address drainage details and be approved before construction begins.
