Staff described the amendment as a targeted change to Section 3.27 (accessory building and residential carport regulations). The revised language allows a carport to avoid the special‑use permit requirement if it meets either of two conditions: the carport is completely behind the primary dwelling or it is not visible from the adjacent street, and the lot is not a corner lot. The code also will explicitly cap carport height at no more than the primary structure’s ridge or top height when that is less than the prior 15‑foot standard.

Planning staff showed recent examples of patio covers and carports to illustrate the distinction between an accessory patio and a carport (carports are defined by their purpose: temporary parking of vehicles, boats or trailers). The new rule applies to attached and detached carports; corner lots and any carport that fails the two-condition test will still require commission review through a special‑use permit.

Commission discussion was brief. Staff said the amendment originated in a city council work session and followed public direction to provide clearer and more flexible standards for rear-located carports. Jerry Savoy moved approval and David Ebert seconded. The commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment.

City staff will incorporate the changes into the land development code and proceed with the administrative steps to publish the updated section.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colleyville - Planning and Zoning - Feb 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved an amendment to Land Development Code section 3.27 that narrows when a residential carport must go through a special-use permit, adding location and height clarifications.","taxTitle","Colleyville, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",69604,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667811,"Commission fails to recommend rezoning for John McCain subdivision amid flooding, access concerns",3803,1657000,5460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255810-23841f9e597ad5523ddc28eba705a212&start=1657&end=5460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255810-23841f9e597ad5523ddc28eba705a212/thumbnail_1657000.jpg","/articles/6667811/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Commission-fails-to-recommend-rezoning-for-John-McCain-subdivision-amid-flooding-access-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667811-9a6c23010f57247d121514020d421bfe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152211&Signature=TTReSPubQZhlC-bZ3PiqJD8OXx9Hc7XmwqTaoS7RGO4PshhUaPqX~1yQKFccj90RlYhRzBpqp~78P8WVkKbsF63qmA--tlvpGdHRqh8kKzbNoaF98MjnNkS9ho0Ym-uFjZTCioeUUVJB9Lgv7ZkHOXCVTLjpqyk4qa2vI2ePnsBTqgDo2t64MEQvHJU9P6Z3LkZuu5OUKbl-yRdYhVhWgV7lzbDg588CfV6NrTgtc4y72Zg9~Nl71jy-4zeLZ0DS0fh7~ai3tLf6bOVfDWE1-mbyzbG8ZkxENMZsHVTNScYA8oCXKDJfmPFFYjOe92bZF3VENg4jlMs6dul0tullrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission did not forward a favorable recommendation for a rezoning request for property on John McCain Road after extended public comment and technical testimony about flood risk, downstream drainage and emergency access.

Staff presented a rezoning request (Case ZC 25-001) to change roughly 11.7 acres from agricultural (AG) to single-family residential in two zones: R-30 and R-40. The applicant proposed 12 lots (seven R-30 lots and five R-40 lots), with one lot enlarged to accommodate floodplain. Staff described the future land-use designation as residential and said the materials provided included a statement of planning objectives, a utility plan and a tree-preservation plan. Staff noted opposition letters and reported the protest level at approximately 49.95 percent within the 200-foot notification area, meaning the issue would require a supermajority at the city council.

Curtis Young of the Sage Group, the applicant’s agent, said the plan was designed to blend with adjacent zoning: smaller R-30 lots near existing R-30 and the Monticello PUD and R-40 lots adjacent to R-40 neighborhoods. Young said the project totals 11.7 acres, would yield 12 residential lots and that the developer plans high-end single-family homes built by Cali Custom Homes. Clayton Redinger of Redinger Group, the civil engineer, testified the site represents about 3 percent of the overall watershed that drains through two creeks; his firm supplied a drainage study concluding that on-site detention would not reduce downstream flooding and could produce a concurrent peak that worsens conditions.

Larry Wright, city engineer, said the site’s effective FEMA map currently identifies a 500-year floodplain but that a preliminary FEMA study shows a larger 100-year floodplain that would bring more properties into the 100-year floodplain when it becomes effective. Wright described the development as a small portion of a larger drainage basin but agreed the development will increase impervious cover and said the timing of runoff release is critical; he summarized, “detention sometimes is a good thing. Sometimes it’s a bad thing.”

More than a dozen nearby residents spoke in opposition, raising repeated concerns about ongoing flooding in the Whitechapel/West Whitechapel Creek confluence, recent changes to nearby development and road grades, and damage to private fencing and landscaping when water levels rise. Several residents showed photos of repeated flooding and described routine road overtopping and damage to yards and fences after storms. Jeff Kavanaugh, representing Monticello Homeowners Association, summed up the neighborhood view by urging caution and stronger infrastructure mitigation near the “bottom of that funnel.”

Commissioners debated two related code issues: the land development code limits cul-de-sac lots in R-30/R-40 to 10 lots without a second point of access, while R-20 zoning allows up to 12 lots with a single access. The applicant included a secondary emergency access on the plan but said the property owners who control that private access easement prefer not to upgrade their drive and would prefer the plan not require that work. The applicant requested that the commission recommend approval notwithstanding the 10-lot limit.

A motion that would have removed the secondary access from the site plan and asked the city council to waive the 10-lot limit failed on a 4-2 vote (two commissioners voted aye; four voted no). Because the commission did not adopt a favorable recommendation and the applicant faces a protest at the council level, the application can be appealed by the applicant to city council; the applicant has 10 calendar days to appeal. If appealed, the council will consider the rezoning and — because of the protest level within 200 feet — will require six votes of the seven-member council to approve.

No final rezoning was approved at the commission meeting; the application’s next procedural step is a possible appeal to city council. The record includes the applicant’s drainage study, tree plan and utility submittal; commissioners and staff directed continued dialogue and additional technical review to address neighbors’ concerns.","The Planning and Zoning Commission did not recommend approval of a rezoning request that would split about 11.7 acres on John McCain Road into up to 12 single-family lots, citing unresolved drainage concerns, neighborhood opposition and a disputed requirement for a second access.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667815,"Planning commission approves Cross Creek Church replat at Colleyville Boulevard",242,1472000,1714000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255810-23841f9e597ad5523ddc28eba705a212&start=1472&end=1714","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255810-23841f9e597ad5523ddc28eba705a212/thumbnail_1472000.jpg","/articles/6667815/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-Cross-Creek-Church-replat-at-Colleyville-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667815-27e27c05eeb83e3f48d8f1f7f183ae84/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152211&Signature=f-VxbVciNWsg1UCFdF8MWfcfX7BvuhvfZGkqVfBVU6XDij3crRYIJstrlwbPPIZHIxmBdBMbPPLozD9WBmqOWmWrZickwWDX6WogPQO9Q6pmpaIWl9S0yqQv7N1ZGKxSI3mjC7LA~VyLtjOxzXAujPXhBPUd2vAQHhwDbEwkMOGzNsrshNIcOS0QR7gqojAFHwSRdIE0TnDQWyGgx-O2PTyxrpuME0Kc6ODRwjjYMFCaiL8pfpDq9OfQ8Uh-Yp2OnA6kxAjrgEVmUP6nw~3DJME~dqf~WFn59VA5M6AeewOxYW7LfWf7UTQLBJ1vmIvxT~P69ECeoRz4~SN~p8uRcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve a replat that combines seven parcels owned by Cross Creek Church into a single lot along Colleyville Boulevard.

Staff presented the replat as a straight consolidation of seven individually platted lots into one parcel for the church campus at 5300 Colleyville Boulevard, 1007 Church Street and adjacent addresses. Chris [staff member] said the properties currently carry CC-1 zoning and that the request matches the city’s future land-use designation along the Colleyville Boulevard corridor. No letters of opposition were received and staff recommended approval.

Zach Towery, executive pastor of operations at Cross Creek Church (doing business as First Colleyville), told commissioners the consolidation is intended to simplify campus property lines following a recent rezoning. Towery said the church added the replat to a concurrent survey and “we’re just trying to get to one, just to make things a whole lot easier for us.”

Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions, and Jerry Savoy moved to approve case PC 25-002. Richard Remley seconded the motion. Commissioners David Ebert, Jerry Savoy, (Commissioner) Obinato, Richard Remley, Brandon Arnold and David Gross voted aye; one commissioner was absent. The motion passed 6-0.

The approval consolidates the seven existing lots into a single platted lot for the Cross Creek/First Colleyville campus; staff will record the replat consistent with the motion passed by the commission.","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve a replat consolidating seven Cross Creek Church–owned parcels into a single lot at and near 5300 Colleyville Boulevard.","actionData","errors"]
