Commission recommends approval of 36‑unit multifamily PD at 4741 North Galloway Avenue
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission unanimously recommended approval of a new multifamily planned development at 4741 N. Galloway Ave. The 36‑unit project meets statewide constraints from Senate Bill 840 and will go to City Council on Dec. 1.
The Mesquite Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 10 voted 7–0 to recommend approval of a proposed 36‑unit multifamily planned development at 4741 North Galloway Avenue.
Garrett Lankford, Planning Department staff, summarized the request: three three‑story buildings with 12 units each (18 one‑bedroom and 18 two‑bedroom units), 64 parking spaces, perimeter fencing and two outdoor amenities. Lankford noted the state’s Senate Bill 840 limits certain local multifamily controls — including a minimum density threshold of 36 units per acre, maximum building heights of 45 feet, and parking ratio constraints — and said the applicant’s concept plan otherwise meets the city’s requirements. “We suggest that exhibits A, B and C be included in your recommendation,” Lankford said, referring to the legal description and concept plan.
Developer Dr. Bora, who identified himself as both a medical doctor and a real‑estate developer, said the project would provide modern housing and that the developer will explore EV charging if feasible. “I would like to have [EV charging] if feasible, possible, cost effective, and allowed by the city,” he said.
Vice Chair Schmalt moved to approve PD C0525‑0400 with the staff‑recommended exhibits; Commissioner Neeland seconded the motion and it carried 7–0. The commission will forward the recommendation to City Council for consideration on Monday, Dec. 1.
