Planning commission approves two Mansfield plats, 6–0

The Mansfield Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved two subdivision matters on Sept. 16.

The commission approved a replat for Alexis Court Townhomes (SD 25‑1286), a 6.56‑acre site west of Matlock and north of Alexis Court. Planning staff said the replat reflects an ownership change and the addition/abandonment of drainage easements and that the replat conforms to the Mansfield Subdivision Ordinance and Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code. “The replat remains the same as 48 residential lots as it was approved through the zoning back in 2021,” staff said; the motion to approve carried 6–0 with one commissioner absent.

The commission also approved the preliminary plat and a two‑lot replat for the Deblock retail addition (SD 25‑040 and SD 25‑041), a 7.871‑acre project with a right‑of‑way reservation intended to allow phased development. Staff explained the red/blue phases, the right‑of‑way reservation down the center of the site and that detailed site plans will be required for future lots. The commission approved the two plats 6–0 with one commissioner absent.

Staff emphasized that detailed site plans for each lot will return to staff for DRC (Development Review Committee) review and that those site plans must meet PD standards, masonry and landscaping requirements, parking, and large‑vehicle access and dumpster/hose‑lay considerations. The approvals were procedural and will be recorded per the city’s platting procedures.

No public comments were submitted for either item during the citizen comments period, and both motions passed on voice tally.
