Commission approves SP69625 site plan and elevations for Crossroads Trade Center parcel

The DeSoto Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a site plan and accompanying elevation drawings for SP69625, a proposed development of Lot 2B1A1 in the Crossroads Trade Center addition at 1921 North Interstate 35 E.

City planner Miss Jordan told commissioners that while site‑plan reviews are typically handled administratively, the property lies within Planned Development 20, which requires Planning and Zoning Commission review of site plans and elevations. Jordan displayed elevations showing facade orientations and confirmed landscaping and buffer requirements had been met.

“Traditionally speaking, site plan reviews can be approved administratively by the planning and zoning manager, but this location just so happens to be located within a plan development that has a clause that requires their case receiving any site plan or elevations to be brought before the planning and zoning commission for approval,” Miss Jordan said.

After brief review of the plans, Vice Chair Graham moved to accept the site plan; the motion was seconded and approved. The commission then voted to approve the elevation plan for SP69625; that motion also passed unanimously.

The approved documents cover the site's layout, building facades and landscaping; the record lists the parcel as approximately 1.859 acres and locates the property in the city's hotel district (PD‑20). Because the approval was for the site plan and elevations, any subsequent permits or inspections will proceed through the city's usual administrative and building‑permit processes.
