Council tables large Crestview PD amendment after debate over lot use and traffic
Summary
Council held extended discussion and ultimately tabled amendments to PD 179 (Crestview), which would have revised the concept plan, reduced ponds, added a home-improvement store, and identified a church site; councilors objected to pre-specifying a church and sought more detail on Lot 10 and driveway/fire access.
Assistant Director of Planning Miriam Spencer summarized proposed amendments to PD 179 (the Crestview development), describing revisions that would update the concept plan, amenity program, sign plan and development standards for a 33.4-acre site near West Main/US-287. Changes included combining multiple ponds into one amenity, adding a home-improvement store and a planned site identified for a place of worship, updated parking, and requests for limited exemptions to impervious-cover limits.
Developer representative Tim Thompson described market-driven changes: consolidating three lakes into a single amenity and refining building footprints to match prospective users. Council members pressed staff and the developer about whether the PD should pre-label Lot 10 as a "church," expressing concern that specifying a particular use on the site plan could prematurely limit future uses and require additional amendments later.
Other substantive issues included lot-boundary changes for Lot 10 (subsuming Lots 11 and 12), driveway and fire-station ingress/egress dimensions, traffic flow on West Main (a TxDOT facility), and long-term maintenance obligations for proposed amenities. After back-and-forth about whether to deny, approve or table, a majority voted to table the PD amendment indefinitely to allow staff and legal to return with clarified recommendations and coordination with Planning & Zoning.
The item was tabled by motion and passed 6-0 when the council voted to table indefinitely; staff and the developer will confer with legal and planning to determine next steps.
