Weatherford commission approves zoning, preliminary plat for 123‑lot Enclave at Chisholm Trail
Summary
The Weatherford Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 14 unanimously approved a rezoning and preliminary plat for the Enclave at Chisholm Trail, a proposed 123‑lot subdivision on about 42.6 acres at 1420 King Street; staff said required conditions have been met and the project requires annexation of ETJ parcels before construction.
The Weatherford Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 14 unanimously approved a zoning map amendment and the associated preliminary plat for the Enclave at Chisholm Trail, a proposed 123‑lot single‑family subdivision on roughly 42.6 acres at 1420 King Street.
Staff recommended approval of both items, saying the proposal aligns with the city’s future land‑use plan and that the conditions noted in the staff report had been satisfied. “Staff does recommend approval of this request,” Monica Johnson told the commission during the presentation.
Under the approved plan, the property would be rezoned from AG (agricultural) to SF‑7.5 (single‑family 7.5) with a Planned Unit Development overlay. The PUD allows departures from the base district’s lot standards; staff said the development will include smaller 50‑ and 65‑foot lots in some areas rather than the standard 75‑by‑100‑foot lots. The layout shows two access points (East 6th Street and East 4th Street) and a little over 3 acres of park and open space with a six‑foot trail, benches and a playground.
City Engineer Bill Smith said a preliminary review did not identify specific traffic‑load concerns because “there’s several different routes to go.” He also reminded commissioners that the zoning/site‑development process does not allow the commission to require traffic impact analyses as a condition of zoning.
Developer representatives told the commission they have been talking with three national builders that are interested in the property but said none are yet committed. The developer said the plan is to market and develop the property in a single effort rather than leaving unfinished phases, and that final builder proposals will be presented to city council as part of later approvals.
A motion to approve the zoning amendment was made and seconded (recorded in the meeting as moved by Miss Hayes and seconded by Mister White) and passed unanimously. The associated preliminary plat was approved unanimously as well (moved by Mister Hinton and seconded by Mister Cray), with staff noting that the conditions included in the staff report had been met.
The commission and staff emphasized that portions of the project lie in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and that the development cannot proceed until the applicant acquires the additional parcels and those parcels are annexed into the city. The commission’s approvals forward the matters to the City Council, which also will consider the requests at a future meeting.
Details in the record: the request covers a roughly 42.6‑acre tract at or near 1420 King Street and proposes 123 single‑family lots with a mix of lot sizes and home styles described in staff materials.
