The City of Manor's Planning and Zoning Commission made significant decisions during its regular meeting on December 11, 2024, impacting local development and zoning regulations. The commission unanimously voted to recommend the denial of a rezoning application for a downtown business lot, which will maintain its current zoning status. This decision means that the lot will continue to allow for various business activities as permitted under the downtown business category, pending final approval from the city council.

In another key discussion, the commission reviewed a subdivision preliminary plat amendment for Manor Heights Phase 6, which involves 12 lots on nearly 48 acres. The proposal, presented by Kimberly Horn and Associates, includes 11 commercial lots and one open space lot. The commission approved this item, recognizing it as a nondiscretionary matter, which simplifies the approval process.

Additionally, the commission addressed the preliminary plat for Shadow Glen Phase 3, which encompasses 690 lots across approximately 247 acres. This development, led by Meritage Homes of Texas LLC, was also deemed compliant with city ordinances and received approval. The project includes provisions for parkland and trail improvements as part of a development agreement, ensuring that community recreational needs are met alongside residential growth.

These decisions reflect the commission's ongoing efforts to balance commercial development with community needs, ensuring that growth in Manor aligns with the city's planning goals. The next steps will involve further discussions at the city council level, where the rezoning denial will be formally considered.
