Commission approves alley‑waiver variance for Town Square Southeast commercial parcel
Summary
The commission approved a variance waiving the alley requirement for an ~11.79‑acre commercial parcel near Hillside Road and Sanci Road (Town Square Southeast), with staff concluding the request is consistent with other commercial subdivisions in Amarillo.
Staff presented a variance request for Town Square Southeast (case 2020698 PP), an approximately 11.79‑acre tract near the intersection of Hillside Road and Sanci Road. The applicant sought an alley waiver for commercial development and staff said commercial lots in Amarillo commonly do not provide alleys, so staff recommended approval.
Staff noted the proposed development would have public utility easements and shared access arrangements; commissioners asked whether there were members of the public who wished to speak and none came forward. A motion to approve the variance as recommended by staff was moved and seconded; the commission approved the request by voice vote and the chair adjourned the meeting.
Staff emphasized that approval addressed subdivision design features only and that separate rezoning or site plan approvals may be required for future development of the lots.
