Sanger council unanimously approves rezoning of 30.83-acre site to regional commercial
Summary
The Sanger City Council approved Ordinance 030926 to rezone about 30.83 acres at the Northwest corner of North Stemmons Freeway and Bells Road from agriculture to regional commercial. Staff said the change matches the future land use map and the council voted unanimously after brief discussion.
The Sanger City Council on March 2 voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 030926, rezoning roughly 30.83 acres from agriculture to regional commercial near the northwest corner of North Stemmons Freeway and Bells Road.
City planning staff told the council the proposal conforms to the city’s future land use map and that notices were mailed to 11 nearby properties, with one written response received in favor. “The applicant has requested that we zone that from agriculture to regional commercial, which is what our future land use map shows,” a city staff member said during the hearing.
Council members asked about site access and the fate of an existing vacant house on the property. Staff said the site will have access from 35, the 35 service road and from Bells Road, and confirmed the vacant house will be demolished as part of the site work. After brief discussion, a council member moved to approve the ordinance and it passed by unanimous voice vote.
The ordinance brings the subject site into the city’s regional commercial zoning category, which staff described as the city’s broadest commercial district and suitable for large retail, offices and auto-related uses. The council did not receive any public comment during the hearing.
Next steps include implementation of the approved zoning and any subsequent site-plan approvals required by city code.
