The commission approved a planned‑development amendment with a sidewalk correction, a unified signage agreement and a Specific Use Permit for a major vehicle repair garage; items 11–13 were continued to the January meeting. All recorded votes were unanimous.
At its regular meeting the Midlothian Planning & Zoning Commission approved multiple agenda items by unanimous votes and continued others to the January meeting.
On the consent agenda the commission approved a final/replat and a preliminary plat (items 5 and 6) by unanimous vote. The commission amended and approved the minutes (item 4) to include council language about removing a masonry screening wall.
Staff presented a planned‑development (PD) amendment for a 1.7‑acre site in PD‑06 (Town Center at Meadows). Commissioners discussed a gap in sidewalks and required a correction to the site plan to add sidewalks on the north side of the property; architect Greg Frank told the commission the project would "connect to [the sidewalk] to provide an accessible route" or add a sidewalk per city standards. The amended motion to approve the PD amendment passed 7‑0.
Daniel Humber, senior planner, presented a PD‑106 amendment to incorporate a unified signage agreement by combining two lots into a single premise; staff said notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet and no objections were received. The commission approved the amendment 7‑0.
The commission voted to continue agenda items 11, 12 and 13 to the January meeting (each continued by unanimous votes).
For item 14, staff recommended approval of a Specific Use Permit to allow a major motor vehicle repair garage on a 2.15‑acre lot in the 287 Business Park. Staff noted a required 6‑foot masonry wall where the site abuts residential property and enhanced landscaping along Highway 287. The applicant's engineer, Lindsay Mayer of Dynamic Engineering, was present; Latoya Moton, representing Christian Brothers Automotive, attended. The SUP passed 7‑0.
The meeting closed with staff thanking outgoing commissioners and a unanimous adjournment vote.
