The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a consent agenda and a series of preliminary plats and specific-use designations at its meeting. Most items passed unanimously; one rezoning request (1415 West Montgomery) failed after discussion.
On the consent agenda, the commission approved items 2 and 3 on a 7-0 vote after a motion by Commissioner Cisniega and a second by Commissioner Garza.
Specific-use designations for alcoholic beverage sales were approved for: - The Grand Texan Hotel (4300 West Wall) — staff said the request was for an existing hotel restaurant/bar; staff reported no objections and recommended approval; Commissioner Martin moved and Commissioner Berry seconded; motion passed 7-0. - Hotshots (east 50 feet of Lots 10–12, Block 61, Original Town) — staff noted the item was returning with a city-council recommendation that removed some prior conditions; the applicant said security would remain on weekend nights; Commissioner Richardson moved and Commissioner O’Field seconded; motion passed 7-0.
The commission approved several preliminary plats and related actions, all by unanimous votes: Westcliff Addition Section 6 (subdivide 0.68 acres into four lots for residential use); County Road 140 Park Addition (4.42 acres in the ETJ); Antelope Ridge (225.28 acres, proposed 65 lots; will require city council review because the plat exceeds 25 acres); Horseshoe Bend (187.6 acres into 385 lots noted in transcript); and Crossroads Addition Section 3 (19.13 acres for industrial lots). Staff presenters recommended approval for each item and identified minor conditions as listed in staff reports.
One agenda item drew substantive debate: a requested zone change for 1415 West Montgomery (Jose and Isabel Hernandez) from TP to MH to allow manufactured homes. After detailed questioning on ingress/egress, lot dimensions and sewer service, a motion to approve failed 3-3-1.
The commission adjourned at 04:14 after completing the agenda; items requiring council review were noted for upcoming city council meetings where applicable.
