In miscellaneous action Monday, Planning and Zoning commissioners approved a proposed preliminary plat of a housing development at Potomac Parkway and Victory Parkway in west Midland.
Development of the 24.897-acre tract had been opposed by numerous residents in the area, but DR Horton-Texas’ plans recently received initial zoning of SF3, Single Family Dwelling District for the tract, which is in the process of being annexed into the city.
Commissioners approved the preliminary plat for the subdivision, which will consist of 119 residential lots, with staff recommendations that it is subject to annexation and initial zoning approval by the City Council and the final plat, including all plat comments, conditions and requirements satisfying all city departments before being filed with the county clerk.
Eric West with Parkhill told the Reporter-Telegram the preliminary plat took into consideration concerns expressed by those opposing the project and matches up with requirements for the initial zoning. It now heads to City Council for approval.
Once that approval is received, he said the process of developing the final plat will begin, including subdivision design and completion of public improvements. This process could take up to a year, he said, before the final plat is presented to Planning and Zoning commissioners and then City Council.
Also in miscellaneous action, commissioners approved a proposed preliminary plat for Midland Community Theater at 2000 W. Wadley Ave. West noted that the lot the theater sits on had never been platted and city staff required a final plat before building permits for the theater’s proposed renovations and expansion can be issued.
In the one public hearing held Monday, commissioners unanimously approved a proposed preliminary plat of a residential replat of a lot in the Country Sky addition at Tumbleweed Trail and Briarwood Avenue. Applicant Schumann Engineering sought the replat to convert the lot into two lots.
