Commission approves several plats and zone changes; 2026 calendar set
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a zone-change request for a planned-development shopping-center amendment, a zone change from regional retail to single-family (SF-3), two preliminary-plat reinstatements, and approved the 2026 meeting schedule; one final-plat item was pulled for a later meeting.
At its meeting the Midland Planning and Zoning Commission approved multiple development items and set its 2026 meeting calendar.
Item 8: Staff presented a zone-change request by Prince Signs LLC on behalf of Midland Platinum 2 LLC to amend a planned development (PD) for a shopping center (Lot 2-A Block 3, West Ridge Park Edition Sec. 10). Staff recommended approval after describing surrounding land uses. The commission approved the zone-change request (vote announced by the clerk as 6–0).
Item 11: Planner Angelina Betzini presented a request to change zoning from RR (regional retail) to SF-3 (single-family dwelling district) for three lots on East Kentucky Avenue and South Lamesa Road to enable single-family housing, consistent with the Tall City Tomorrow comprehensive plan; the commission approved the request unanimously (6–0).
Item 12: The commission approved a reinstatement of an approved preliminary plat for Saddleback Estates Addition Section 3 (replat of Lots 10A and 11A) on roughly 1.426 acres in the ETJ; staff noted county public-works signoff on an easement adjustment.
Item 13: Senior planner Britt Murray presented a reinstatement of a preliminary plat for Lazy 3 at Midland Polo, a 13.52-acre tract proposed for future agricultural uses (stables). Staff recommended approval; the associated final-plat item (item 14) was pulled at the applicant’s request and will return to the commission on a later date. The reinstatement was approved.
Item 15: Commissioners discussed the proposed 2026 meeting dates and whether to consolidate or remove a December meeting to align with city council’s schedule. Staff recommended deferring substantive calendar changes until Landon and council scheduling could be confirmed; the commission ultimately approved the 2026 dates as presented. The meeting adjourned at 04:07.
These votes clear several projects to proceed through permitting and next-step platting processes; staff will follow up on standard conditions and any final-plat submittals.
