Council adopts ordinance to allow on-premise alcohol sales at Hillside Village
Summary
Council approved ordinance No. 2026-875 amending the Hillside Village PD to permit on-premise alcohol in restaurant tenant spaces and to allow administrative handling of second-generation alcohol CUPs; councilwoman Azine praised staff for removing obstacles to restaurant openings.
The City Council adopted ordinance No. 2026-875 (case PD7712026) to amend the PD district for Hillside Village, a roughly 43.295-acre property near FM 1382, to permit on-premise alcohol sales at restaurants in tenant spaces and to process second-generation conditional use permits administratively.
Councilwoman Azine, who asked that the item be pulled from the consent agenda for brief comment, described the ordinance as intentional and aimed at removing barriers so restaurants can open more quickly. Azine thanked staff and said the change “alleviates some of the obstacles that we have in getting restaurants open.” The council moved to adopt the ordinance as written; the item was seconded and adopted by the council at the meeting.
The consent items also included authorization to purchase pumps and electrical equipment for the Badgett Branch Lift Station Rehabilitation Project ($125,364) and actions involving TxDOT (a gateway monument agreement on FM 1382 and an amendment to the municipal maintenance agreement). The meeting record shows the ordinance was adopted; the transcript did not capture a detailed roll-call tally by name.
