Commission approves Carroll ISD monopole move, related variances and replat
Summary
The commission approved a plan by Carroll ISD to move an existing monopole about 260 feet south, replat school property into two lots, and grant variances including landscaping, colocation and setbacks; both items passed 4–0. Staff reported no responses from adjacent property owners within 300 feet and one supporting response outside that radius.
The Southlake Planning & Zoning Commission on Feb. 19 approved two related items from Carroll Independent School District: a specific-use permit/concept plan and a plat revision that will replat school property and relocate an existing telecommunications monopole.
Staff described the request as a three-part change: replatting the parcel into two lots (including the former Dragon Stadium lot), approving previously approved variances for landscaping and colocation, and granting a new variance for setbacks because the 150-foot monopole’s fall zone could extend beyond the current lot boundary. Staff said there were no surrounding-property responses within 300 feet and one in favor located outside that radius.
Manny Mooney, Carroll ISD’s director of facilities, told the commission the district "[is] wanting to move the... 260 feet to the south" and that the relocation would place the monopole closer to the district’s administration building. He also confirmed the district seeks the plat revision to create the two lots and to formalize the monopole’s new footprint.
Commissioners discussed the three elements together—rezoning/plat revision, variances and site plan review—and then voted. Commissioner (speaker 3) moved to approve ZA26-0006 (the specific-use review) and ZA26-0007 (the plat revision) with reference to the staff reports dated Feb. 13, 2026; both motions passed 4–0.
The commission’s action clears the items to proceed to administrative and council processing as applicable.
