Applicant seeks PDC rezoning at 33701 Cliffwood Drive for 10‑resident assisted living home
Summary
At a June 23 Colleyville Planning and Zoning work session, staff presented a request to rezone 33701 Cliffwood Drive from R‑15 single‑family to Planned Development‑Commercial (PDC) to allow a Type B small assisted‑living residence for up to 10 residents; no formal vote was taken.
On Monday, planning staff presented a request to rezone 33701 Cliffwood Drive from R‑15 single‑family residential to Planned Development‑Commercial (PDC) so the property could operate as a Type B small assisted‑living residence for up to 10 residents with two on‑site caregivers per shift.
The proposal, shown to the Colleyville Planning and Zoning Commission during a work session, includes an interior reconfiguration of the existing single‑family dwelling to add bedrooms and supportive spaces, and would require life‑safety upgrades such as fire suppression. Planning staff said the applicant’s submission describes an intent to maintain a residential exterior appearance and to provide landscaping and maintenance consistent with neighborhood standards.
If the commission holds a public hearing and recommends approval, the item would move to the City Council for two readings; staff said the Planning and Zoning public hearing is scheduled for July 14 and, if recommended, the council readings would be held in August. Staff also said the city will send a legal notice to the newspaper, deliver letters to properties within 500 feet, and place a sign on the property before the hearing.
Planning staff told commissioners the city has already received some emails and letters opposing the rezoning. Under state law as described at the meeting, opposition from property owners within 200 feet that equals 20% or more of that area triggers a supermajority requirement at City Council; staff said that condition would require 75% of the seven‑member council — six affirmative votes — for approval. Staff said the city has not yet calculated whether the 200‑foot threshold has been met.
No action or vote on the rezoning was taken at the June 23 work session; staff framed the presentation as an informational review and outlined the public‑notice schedule and permitting steps.
The planning staff presentation included an aerial map, street view photos, a proposed floor plan and a description of the applicant’s objectives, which the applicant listed as capital and compatibility, community needs, health and safety compliance, low impact use and a supportive environment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission did not take a formal vote during the work session; any change of zoning would require subsequent public hearings and City Council action.
