Sanger council approves three ordinances clearing way for industrial zoning and refines park timing in major development
Summary
The Sanger City Council on Nov. 3 approved three ordinances that amend land use and zoning on several parcels and clarified park construction timing for a 130.9-acre development. Council members voted unanimously to adopt the land-use and zoning changes and the amendment requiring Park C be finished before the 101st building permit.
SANGER — The Sanger City Council on Nov. 3 unanimously approved a set of ordinances changing future land use and zoning for multiple parcels and amended a previously approved development plan to clarify park construction timing.
Council adopted ordinance 11-29-25 to amend the future land use map for roughly 5.624 acres (AJ Morton Tract 53B) from medium residential to light industrial, and ordinance 11-30-25 to rezone that same tract from agricultural to light industrial. Council also approved an amendment to ordinance O82225, creating ordinance 11-31-25, affecting about 130.907 acres north of FM 455 and east of the Santa Fe Railroad.
Planning staff said the smaller tract’s owner discovered the property was being used in a manner inconsistent with default agricultural zoning and requested formal land-use and zoning changes so the use would be compatible and transferable with the property. “This amendment has come about because we have a landowner for this piece of property [who] realized that this land is not zoned for the use he’s been using it for,” planning staff said during the hearing.
The council heard no public comments on the Union Hill Road parcels. For the larger development, the applicant sought an amendment to clarify timing for park construction. Developer representative Jerry Silo of JBI Partners said each phase of the development includes a park that will be built with that phase, and that Park C — the main park — “has to be done irrespective of if there’s 150 lots in phase 1; it still has to be done by the hundred and first lot.”
Council members said the amendment matched what the council had previously approved with the added clarification about Park C’s timing. Each measure was moved, seconded and passed by unanimous vote.
What’s next: The ordinances take effect according to their statutory timeline and the developer will proceed under the clarified conditions tying park construction to phase completion and the 101st permit for Park C.
