The Houston Planning Commission approved a broad set of consent and reply items and voted on several replats, variances and special exceptions during its Jan. 9, 2025 meeting at City Hall Annex. The commission established a quorum of 17 commissioners and moved through several grouped items that staff presented as recommended.
Staff said Sections A and B (consent and reply) covered items 1 through 91; commissioners approved those items as a group. The chair noted two items had been withdrawn and would not be considered: Item 77 (Melbourne Duplex) and Item 97 (Baron Cypress Bend).
Several items taken out of order were also decided: the commission considered Item 39 (an extension request for Wynn Highland Place/Bridal Platt) and Item 79 (Park Properties). On Item 39 staff recommended denial due to missing required drainage plan; the commission voted to follow staff’s recommendation. On Item 79 (Park Properties) staff recommended approval of a plat showing an unrestricted reserve and public access; the commission approved the plat after a registered speaker raised a title/easement concern and staff clarified recordation conditions and title requirements.
Other items approved with staff recommendations included replats and variances for residential and commercial projects (selected items): - Item 92 Lozier Manor — replat to create three single-family lots; approved. - Item 93 Park Place Fieldwood — replat to create two single-family lots; approved. - Item 94 Spring Bridal Residences — replat and variance to reduce building line along FM 1960; continued public hearing then approved subject to CPC-101 conditions. - Item 95 3 Stone Villas — replat to create three lots; approved. - Item 96 Alliance Triple E Industrial — variance requests for intersection spacing and internal street; approved. - Item 98 Brittland/Bridgeland Village GP — variances for intersection spacing; approved. - Item 100 CG76100LP GP — industrial general plan with variance for intersection spacing; approved. - Item 101 Hardy at Ronquillo — multiple variances for lot size and building lines; approved. - Item 102 New Faith Village Senior Living — variance not to extend Smooth Oak Lane; approved. - Item 103 Red Oak Estates GP — variance to exceed intersection spacing; approved. - Item 104 Cedar Gas Complex — applicant withdrew variance and provided a revised plat meeting chapter 42; commission approved plat per staff.
The commission also approved other administrative items (sections G–J) in one grouped motion and set public hearing dates for several future items. Several minor items (address-specific building-line variances and off-street parking deferrals) were deferred to provide additional time for documentation and review.
Votes at a glance (selected outcomes): all approvals noted below followed staff recommendations unless otherwise stated; vote tallies were recorded as “motion carries” in the meeting transcript for the listed actions.
The approvals move several plats and variances to subsequent permitting and recording steps; staff will monitor follow-up tasks listed on CPC-101 forms and any required engineering or title conditions before final recordation.
