Council rejects SUP for 17‑bed residential treatment center in R‑1 neighborhood
Summary
The council voted unanimously to deny a request for a Specific Use Permit to convert a 1.5-acre lot at Mesa Drive and Eco Creek Drive to a 17‑bed residential treatment center for children; staff had received 29 written protests and recommended disapproval.
Council heard a staff presentation describing a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow a 24‑hour residential treatment center for children on a 1.5‑acre tract at the southwest corner of Mesa Drive and Eco Creek Drive. Staff said the facility would be a 17‑bed program housed in an existing five‑bedroom home and that state licensing and the Texas Human Resources Code regulate the operation; staff reported 29 written protests and recommended denial to City Council.
Councilmember Riley moved to maintain the current R‑1 zoning and support staff and Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations to disapprove the SUP; Councilmember Brown Marshall seconded. The motion passed unanimously on roll-call. No amendment to the ordinance was adopted and no SUP was granted.
