Midland Planning and Zoning approves multiple plats and specific‑use permits; McDonald’s noted in redevelopment plan
Summary
On Feb. 17 the commission unanimously approved a series of plats, replats and specific‑use permits — including Saddleback Estates final plat, Red Oak Kitchen and Quick & Pickle in the Summit Center — and a developer said a McDonald’s is planned in the Kelview Heights redevelopment.
The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 17 approved a slate of plats, replats and specific‑use permits covering residential and commercial redevelopment across multiple districts.
The meeting approved consent items including the Feb. 2 minutes and the final plat for Mayfield Place Addition. The commission then unanimously approved the Saddleback Estates final plat for Section 3, multiple preliminary plats (South Park, Avalon, West Fork, Corporate Plaza, South Park Section 8, Country Sky, Ranch Estates, Edwards Addition and Grassland Estates) and several zone‑change and specific‑use requests intended to accommodate commercial and restaurant development.
Britt Murray, senior planner, presented a zone‑change request for 3409–3411 Andrews Highway to permit an office addition and said staff received no objections and "staff recommends approval of this request." Commissioners approved that zone change 4–0.
At the Kelview Heights site, Andrew Mellon of Maverick Engineering told the commission the redevelopment will include demolition of existing apartments, a northern portion "slated for McDonald's," and additional retail: "It's just gonna help this whole area look a lot, lot better," he said.
Specific‑use approvals in the Summit Center included a 5,725‑square‑foot Red Oak Kitchen (for on‑premises alcohol sales) and a 15,601‑square‑foot Quick & Pickle with a 4,314‑square‑foot service area; staff recommended approval for both and the commission voted 4–0 on each item. A specific‑use for a double‑bar saloon on West Wall Street returned to remove prior conditions and also was approved 4–0.
Most preliminary plats and replats were approved with staff‑recommended conditions to enable future residential or commercial construction permits; the approvals were routinely adopted with 4–0 votes.
What to expect next: approved plats and zone changes will proceed to the administrative steps required for permitting and site work; where a project requires additional council review it will be scheduled separately.
