The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and then voted to postpone action on a proposed amendment to the future land‑use map (FLUM) for parcels at 4240 and 4270 Green Valley Road.
Staff said the amendment, if approved, would change the parcels’ designation from 'community residential' to 'compact residential' and allow a subsequent rezoning from SF‑2 to MF‑2 for a proposed 248‑unit senior residential community as described in the applicant’s narrative. Staff referenced the city’s UDC (section 3.6) and Texas Local Government Code §211.004 governing zoning and comprehensive-plan consistency.
Rob Killen, an attorney with Killen Griffin & Fairmont, presented on behalf of the applicants and said the change aligns with the city’s 'missing middle' housing goals and that staff had prepared findings that address approval criteria. Killen offered a short presentation but said he would defer additional comment until a meeting when a full commission could be present.
Commissioners expressed concern that several members were absent and that recent information had been presented late. One commissioner said, "I would like to make a motion to postpone, not to table it, but to postpone it just until the next meeting," citing the benefit of a full body and more time for review. The motion passed; staff confirmed the public hearing notice remains valid and no re‑notice is required for the next hearing.
Next steps: The item will return to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the next scheduled meeting with the applicant’s full presentation and any additional materials.
