Council holds first reading on planned-unit-development for luxury garage condominiums near Colleyville Boulevard

The Colleyville City Council held a first reading and public hearing on April 1 on an ordinance to rezone several parcels along Industrial Boulevard and Colleyville Boulevard to a planned unit development (PUD) that would allow a mix of an existing self-storage facility, new “luxury garage” condominium buildings and a commercial pad at a signalized corner.

Ben (city planner) presented the request and said the rezoning area includes the existing self-storage and adjacent undeveloped parcels fronting Colleyville Boulevard. The applicant proposes four buildings totaling roughly 62,500 square feet and approximately 49 individual private garage-condominium units; Ben said the exact unit count was approximately 47–49 in the applicant’s materials. The plan would allow mezzanine space in some units but explicitly prohibit residential living quarters and overnight habitation on the site; the proposed ordinance language includes a prohibition on overnight outside parking and restricted outside storage.

Skye Thibodeaux, the developer, described the product as individually owned, customizable garage units—each with a ground-level garage and a mezzanine area of roughly 250 square feet (potentially up to 400 square feet). He told council the market response has been strong and that the developer intends the units to be sold (not leased); transcript remarks cited a rough price point of about $500,000 per unit. He also described building materials (brick/stone masonry, 90% masonry minimum), façade treatments intended to present a retail/office appearance from Colleyville Boulevard, and building heights ranging roughly from 27 to 32 feet at parapets.

The developer and staff emphasized landscaping and screening between the proposed development and adjacent residential properties, an eight-foot masonry wall adjacent to the residential boundary included in the draft ordinance, and commitments to preserve and add trees along Colleyville Boulevard. Ben noted the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0 on March 10. Several council members praised staff and the applicant for outreach and modifications made after neighbor input.

This was a first reading and public hearing only; no final council vote was taken. Staff told the council the ordinance will return for a second reading at a future meeting. No public comment cards were submitted at the April 1 hearing.
