Council approves CHRISTUS Health plats and site plan for Anderson Town Crossing, conditioned on TxDOT driveway approval
Summary
The council approved a preliminary plat, PD site plan and final plat for a 12.875-acre CHRISTUS Health clinic/hospital site in Anderson Town Crossing, with each approval explicitly conditioned on TxDOT authorization of driveway access before issuing a building permit.
Mount Pleasant city council unanimously approved a series of planning actions to allow a CHRISTUS Health emergency and specialty clinic on a 12.875-acre lot in Anderson Town Crossing, but clarified the approvals are contingent on Texas Department of Transportation sign-off for driveway access.
Staff presented three linked cases: the preliminary plat (PP-2024-05), a planned-development site plan (SP-2024-09) and the final plat (FP-2024-05). The proposal showed a roughly 35,000-square-foot facility with parking, drainage, and a helipad. Planning & Zoning had recommended approval at its October meeting, and staff told the council the developer must secure TxDOT driveway approval before a building permit could be issued.
Council members first voted to approve the preliminary plat, then separately approved the PD site plan and final plat. After legal counsel flagged that the record should explicitly show the approvals were subject to TxDOT driveway approval, the council reopened those items and re-approved them with the condition recorded.
Council action does not authorize building permits until the applicant obtains the required TxDOT access approvals; staff said the condition was discussed with the applicant ahead of the council decision.
Next steps: staff will withhold building permits until TxDOT authorizes access; the project team will pursue engineering approvals and submit civil plans required for permitting.
