Planning commission approves preliminary plat for 241‑lot Selby Hill subdivision
Summary
The Weatherford Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a zoning and preliminary‑plat package for Selby Hill, a proposed 241‑lot, four‑phase subdivision on about 145.2 acres north of State Highway 180. Staff required additional documentation for areas in the Hudson Oaks ETJ and a required traffic study.
The Weatherford Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary plat and related zoning request for Selby Hill, a proposed 241‑lot subdivision on roughly 145.2 acres north of State Highway 180 and Rick Williams Memorial Highway.
Monica (staff) presented the request on behalf of the applicant Leverage Mockingbird, saying the proposal would rezone the property from agricultural to SF‑7.5 and create 241 single‑family lots with a minimum lot size of 75 by 100 feet and four development phases. The application includes HOA documents to be submitted with the final plat and requires a traffic impact analysis (TIA). Monica told commissioners that a portion of the property sits within Hudson Oaks’ extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and the applicants must submit removal documentation before the item goes to city council.
Sam Knight, representing the applicant and Pave Dawson Engineers, said the team has worked with staff for about a year. Knight said they do not yet have a contracted homebuilder and described the project as aimed at “second/third move‑up” homes rather than entry‑level product.
Commissioners pressed staff on access and emergency requirements. City engineering staff explained subdivision rules require a minimum of two points of access once a development exceeds 30 lots and additional access for every 50 lots thereafter; staff said the preliminary plat as presented largely complies, noting one phase with 30 or fewer lots may have a single access. Commissioners asked whether a developer’s agreement would be required; staff said none is proposed now but one could be negotiated as engineering details are finalized.
After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to the city’s subdivision‑ordinance requirements and the conditions noted by staff. The motion passed unanimously.
Next steps: staff will continue engineering review, the applicants must provide ETJ removal documentation for the portion outside city limits before council consideration, and the required TIA must be completed during final‑plat review.
