The Trophy Club Planning and Zoning Commission convened on February 6, 2025, to discuss key developments impacting the community, including a significant proposal for the Hampton Inn by Hilton. The meeting, which began at 6 PM, welcomed new commissioner Saddam, marking a fresh chapter for the commission.

A primary focus of the meeting was a public hearing regarding a specific use permit (SUP) requested by Titan Beverage LLC on behalf of Hydra Hotels LLC. The proposal aimed to modify the existing alcohol sales permit for the Hampton Inn, located at 525 Plaza Drive, to allow for on-premises consumption in addition to off-premises sales. This change would enable guests to purchase and consume beer and wine directly in the hotel lobby, enhancing the guest experience.

Matt, a representative from the commission, explained that the hotel already holds an alcohol license and is seeking to add a self-service beer and wine station, akin to a vending machine. This adjustment would allow guests to enjoy beverages in the lobby area, a shift from the current model where they can only take drinks to their rooms or leave with them. The proposal complies with local and state regulations, with the nearest church located 4,000 feet away and the closest school over 5,000 feet from the hotel.

The commission noted that no public opposition or support was expressed during the meeting, and after a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved the permit. This decision reflects the commission's commitment to supporting local businesses while ensuring compliance with community standards.

In addition to the main agenda item, the commission also approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on December 12, 2024, further streamlining their operations.

The meeting concluded shortly after 6 PM, with the commission poised to continue its work on planning and zoning matters that affect the Trophy Club community. The approval of the Hampton Inn's alcohol permit is expected to enhance the hotel's offerings and contribute positively to the local hospitality landscape.
