Gautier council approves rezoning of Old Spanish Trail parcel to planned unit development with conditions
Summary
The council approved a property-owner requested rezoning (GPC 25-36-RZ) from R-1 to Planned Unit Development for a subdivision on Old Spanish Trail, subject to buffers, HOA formation, green space and lot-depth adjustments.
The Gautier City Council on Sept. 16 approved a property-owner initiated rezoning of a vacant parcel on Old Spanish Trail (GPC 25-36-RZ) from R-1 low-density single‑family residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Planning Director Scott Anderson presented the staff and planning commission recommendation for approval and listed five stipulations the planning commission attached: 5-foot buffers on east and west sides that alter lot depth, a 5-foot barrier on the Old Spanish Trail frontage, formation of a homeowners association (HOA) for the PUD, green space at the entrance, and adjusted lot square footage to reflect depth changes.
The applicant was identified in the presentation as David Hinton doing business as AP Enterprises LLC; planning staff confirmed public-notice requirements were met and included a parcel/ID in the packet. Council moved to approve the PUD with the planning commission's stipulations and the motion carried.
Councilwoman Jamieson raised traffic concerns on Old Spanish Trail that citizens had previously voiced and urged the city to consider potential future widening or county involvement; council acknowledged the concern but approved the rezoning with the stated conditions.
Next steps: the applicant must satisfy the stipulations (buffering, HOA and green-space requirements) as conditions of the PUD approval before further platting or development.
