Hurst City council approves first reading of Gulf Coast Pavers site plan on Highway 10
Summary
The council approved a first reading of ordinance 2622 for a Gulf Coast Pavers site plan at 400 West Hirsch Boulevard; the proposal includes a 1.45-acre office/warehouse complex, on-site tree mitigation, sidewalks and a 12-foot multi-tenant monument sign. The applicant said the rear warehouse will be used for training during business hours.
Hurst City Council approved the first reading of ordinance 2622 on a voice vote to consider a site plan application from Gulf Coast Pavers for a 1.45-acre parcel at 400 West Hirsch Boulevard.
Why it matters: The proposal envisions an office building facing Highway 10 with tenant retail/office space and an office/warehouse behind it; the applicant said the rear building will be used primarily for employee training during business hours.
Trina Zeiss, representing the applicant, told council the company is based in Houston and is opening one of its newer locations in the Hurst City area. "The 1 office building will be occupied by Gulf Coast Pavers, and then those that are facing Texas 10 will be occupied by tenants," Zeiss said.
City staff and the applicant described tree mitigation to be performed on-site for trees removed in the parking area, adherence to the sign ordinance, and new sidewalks along Hirschview Drive and Hurst Boulevard that will close existing gaps. Council members asked about hours and tenant use; the applicant confirmed standard business hours and that materials will not be stored on-site.
Council Member (voice 17) moved approval of the ordinance on first reading; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Because the action was a first reading, the ordinance requires a later second reading (and any required public-notice steps) before final adoption.
Next steps: The ordinance will return for its next reading as required by city code; additional details about final site improvements and any required permits will be addressed as the plan proceeds through the approval process.
