Denison council annexes 7.8 acres, approves commercial zoning for Lindsey Glass expansion

Denison —1 Aug. 4, 2025 —1 The Denison City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to annex roughly 7.8 acres commonly known as 4331 South Highway 91 and then approved initial commercial zoning to allow an expansion of Lindsey Glass.

City planning staff presented the voluntary annexation and companion zoning application and told the council the requested commercial district is consistent with the city's future land use plan. "The applicant has submitted this voluntary annexation application along with an initial zoning application, in order to bring in this land and expand the existing operations of Lindsey Glass," planning staff Diane York said.

At the public hearing Tim Rutledge of Haystack General Contracting, the project developer, said his company had completed civil work and was "eager to get this project started." Following public comment, Mayor Pro Tem Adams moved to adopt the annexation ordinance; Councilman Thorne seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Council later moved to initially zone the tract commercial, a motion by Councilman Thomas with a second by Councilman Courtwright that also passed unanimously.

Why it matters: Annexation and commercial zoning clear the way for Lindsey Glass to build office-warehouse spaces and expand operations adjacent to Texoma Parkway, aligning the site with the city's mixed-commercial revitalization plan.

What council approved: the annexation ordinance and an ordinance initially zoning the property commercial. Planning staff noted the applicant's zoning choice anticipates future office-warehouse uses that may require conditional use permits. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval at its July 22 meeting.

Next steps: With annexation and zoning approved, the applicant may proceed to predevelopment meetings and submit conditional-use/site plans and building permits as required.
