Eric Weed, vice commander of the DFW Mid-Cities chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and a member of the city’s Heroes Park board, said he nominated Colleyville for the designation because of the city’s support for veterans. Lisa Holmes Lundswick, introduced as a surviving spouse and representative of the Combat Wounded Service Organization, said seeing the Purple Heart designation \"gives us a warm feeling that you still care, and, so anyone with a Purple Heart will feel very welcome here.\" Mayor Lindemood then read and signed the proclamation declaring Colleyville a Purple Heart City.

Later, Melissa Kristen and Christina Gomez of the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council presented a Heart Safe Community certificate to the council. Kristen described the Heart Safe program as a nationwide initiative with six focus areas: access to emergency care; emergency medical dispatch; AED and first response; advanced life support; education and community awareness; and data collection and review. \"This program requires a multidisciplinary collaboration and commitment of public and private agencies across the community,\" Kristen told the council, and congratulated Colleyville on meeting the program criteria.

Julie Evans, chief executive officer of Alliance for Children, spoke during the child abuse prevention proclamation. Evans described the organization as Colleyville’s children’s advocacy center and said it provides a multi-agency response for children who are victims of crime. The mayor read a proclamation noting that in Tarrant County 4,719 children were confirmed victims of abuse or neglect in 2023 and that Alliance for Children provided trauma-informed services to 3,025 children in 2024. The mayor urged citizens to work together to reduce child abuse and neglect.

All three recognitions were ceremonial; the council took photographs and distributed commemorative items. No council votes were required for the proclamations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colleyville - City Council - Apr 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council hosted presentations and proclamations recognizing Colleyville as a Purple Heart City, accepting a Heart Safe Community certificate from the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council, and proclaiming April 2025 Child Abuse Prevention Month; speakers included local veterans, NCCTRAQ representatives and Alliance for Children CEO.","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},6603182,"Council approves $5,000 easement for Cheeksbarger/Bedford roundabout and adds $100,000 for neighborhood entrance grants",324,2956000,3280000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c&start=2956&end=3280","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c/thumbnail_2956000.jpg","/articles/6603182/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Council-approves-5000-easement-for-CheeksbargerBedford-roundabout-and-adds-100000-for-neighborhood-entrance-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603182-cc8e64f3402fcd24a1acdfe789bc83ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771124453&Signature=UA3fV7-eEwfG-bNkZ8UX4WbCnmbvUYrbah76hKvEI2JT9FX8ytpADX~A8l3zn379GoPlc1VPvT5pH0bojFKl3xLo0HoR3WdVw1P0t-ty1a0Gss4rpTWlmaZUpy~metzer~-CI3wAgAazNyA7uedQeIcNkQq8KqgisJzSMMu8OzbWtZSn-JbrTUSw9o1yXVaowle06t5fyPCNAq9CSWftSwHQElAZfmzC2FgJpRxXtJjiAfJwNi5WYPe4GRGULH4HKLoMJ5EvheullTsVQlfQW47I7mmMTnlsaSW6qDZsubju9P-xP5tTLByryxSWzenbFD74w2TXb-rvowcHCpMpFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On consent, the Colleyville City Council on April 15 approved a package of items that included purchase of a pedestrian access-way easement for the Cheeksbarger and Bedford Road roundabout and an additional $100,000 for the FY2025 neighborhood entrance beautification program.

Lisa Escobedo, Director of Public Works and Park Services, said staff identified a 978-square-foot parcel (0.022 acres) on the southwest corner of Cheeksbarger and Bedford Road near Pillars Learning Center needed to accommodate the roundabout design. The city and property owner agreed on a $5,000 purchase price based on TAD land value, Escobedo said. She added the roundabout project itself is estimated at about $1,600,000 and will include sidewalk connections and crosswalks as part of the alignment adjustments.

During the public hearing, resident JB (address given in the speaker card) asked whether the roundabout would reduce traffic backups and allow safer pedestrian crossings to Terra Village; staff confirmed the design includes pedestrian access and crosswalks and recommended caution when crossing.

Separately, City Manager Jared Duque described the neighborhood entrance beautification program, saying the council previously authorized $600,000 to fund matching grants and that the program had generated more than $1.6 million in improvements across 56 subdivision entryways. The council approved an additional $100,000 so the program can continue to offer matching grants up to $25,000 per applicant.

The consent resolution (R-25-5033) listing these items was adopted without roll-call opposition. Mayor Pro Tem Elder moved approval and Councilwoman Gunderson seconded; the motion passed 7-0.","Council approved a consent resolution that included authorizing purchase of a 0.022-acre pedestrian access easement ($5,000) for the Cheeksbarger and Bedford Road roundabout and added $100,000 to the FY2025 neighborhood entrance beautification program; a resident asked about roundabout safety and pedestrian crossings during public comment.",{"_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},6603187,"Council approves PUD amendment to allow luxury garage units, retail at Industrial Boulevard site",503,3643000,4146000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c&start=3643&end=4146","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c/thumbnail_3643000.jpg","/articles/6603187/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Council-approves-PUD-amendment-to-allow-luxury-garage-units-retail-at-Industrial-Boulevard-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603187-6d1e83a2fd3f03af4c011cc4b1fa2d4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771124453&Signature=ioMUdAp16NTe457idg0S3BQx4Uvc2q7pTykMMyRehA2mXjma4od-2Plb-5gObLVWoWizkeCL3-izYyMN8G88SAYVnG3-mZSETJgIONy0xxsuGYr3-tXOieIhmjZ9zfGhA67b1CO4whmNo4ES3rXV7ByiQFFxa4pl~bsHD7bRg8lWqhXEftx8e8ecWnyM9A1jcmr0D~U87MSXLYhlBIYUHcWntVu0IuoIKgu63PPbubmOZ133hZKBzY2pc28EFyxbc3xaG03bIUYq4qtJ0g~QMZRIdue1U-YPBvIT2I-oIZcdKQzWQckYQ6N~wwjb6RQugXGeMVpnaVcLuWAI~vTN6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colleyville City Council on April 15 approved an ordinance amending a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow construction of luxury garage units and retail on about 10.48 acres along Industrial Boulevard and Colleyville Boulevard.

Ben (city planner) presented the second-reading ordinance, which would repeal the existing PUD and incorporate two CC-1 village retail parcels into a single PUD. He said the project proposes four buildings with a total of 49 garage units intended for private storage and hobby use, a retail lot on the corner, and a separate self-storage building previously approved in the rear of the site. The plan includes architectural standards (a minimum of 90% masonry on primary elevations), maximum building heights of 32, 29 and 27 feet for different buildings, an eight-foot masonry wall where the site adjoins residences and restrictions that prohibit overnight habitation and outside storage of vehicles.

Ben told the council the developer will capture stormwater in an underground detention facility and provide required fire lanes. He said staff and the applicant discussed landscaping expectations and recommended that Lot 1's landscaping be reviewed by staff to ensure standards exceed minimum Chapter 4 requirements if needed. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0; staff's recommendation was neutral.

Council member Tim Raine moved to approve Ordinance 0-25-2322 on second reading; Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Richardson seconded. The motion passed 7-0.

No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. Council members expressed appreciation that the applicant worked with neighbors on architectural adaptations.","City council adopted on second reading a Planned Unit Development amendment to allow four buildings of 'luxury garage' units and a retail lot at properties along Industrial Boulevard and Colleyville Boulevard; ordinance passed 7-0 after staff reviewed design, landscaping and use restrictions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603192,"Colleyville council waives 75% of impact fees to support redevelopment of former Hodges Automotive site",423,2497000,2920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c&start=2497&end=2920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000882-d71d504bbce227cbe970e5224c4a419c/thumbnail_2497000.jpg","/articles/6603192/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Colleyville-council-waives-75-of-impact-fees-to-support-redevelopment-of-former-Hodges-Automotive-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603192-6e7e81e9cb61ef8ecc8a1400bf2cd2cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771124453&Signature=jsOxSsI-zIjq1JZRPJ0PGIp9pHNlmji2VJORTDiUKagLk9DRzpcqmz4JGd2uEOpTXP5LXM3kyslMjtqMs~U5Pomxm91HJcA0dDRscXsH1tajuZpsOBYXHnPMW7GMhsDLlYSPQuWTKqVzgeehUgsVB7-DEmqz7HY~nQ6tIIboMcXlEt-QRfzU3tucGCiVZf3eqQAy2RO1jcj5s6e2aKYzVpiCUq5N3MluFiaD14UrgH1YO6-p88NC-fDoJ6j1McGPJLhNIf1Y~6KfsonaBJbl3Qk4ZUFHR755r0vjMD~evO84~JeBAsDwsKGCzTNX8cisqMoO7vlo~2oRnJH3HWhxyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colleyville City Council on April 15 approved a resolution authorizing an economic development incentive agreement with Shoal Creek Capital Partners, LLC to redevelop the former Hodges Automotive site at 6521 Colleyville Boulevard.

City Manager Jared Duque told the council the developer plans about 84,000 square feet of new construction on the 4.3-acre property with an estimated total value near $13 million. Duque said the incentive would waive 75% of the project's impact fees — roughly $422,000 — and that the developer must meet four benchmarks, including spending and timeline requirements, to receive the incentive.

The incentive aims to increase annual local tax revenue and stimulate private investment. \"Currently, the city receives about $1,700 a year in property taxes\" from the site, Duque said. \"Under the new development, we would increase that to about $33,000.\" Duque also said GCISD's share would rise from about $5,700 to roughly $110,000 under the proposal, and projected sales tax for the parcel at about $166,000. He summarized the long-term return: \"The property, between the city and the schools, will generate about $3,650,000 over 10 years and about $9,200,000 over 20 years.\" Duque added the city’s payback estimate on foregone impact fee revenue is about 18 months when accounting for permit, sales and property tax revenue.

Mayor Bobby Lindemood and other council members noted the parcel has been blighted and that redevelopment has been a city priority. Council member Graves moved approval and Council member Alfonso seconded. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote.

The resolution, filed as R-25-5032, authorizes the city manager or designee to sign documents necessary to execute the agreement. Duque said impact fees addressed by the waiver fall into three categories: roads, water utility and sewer utility, and that roughly half the waived amount is related to utilities. He also noted the site’s neighbors have been engaged during negotiations and the developer agreed to architectural modifications.

The council did not receive public comment on the resolution during the public hearing portion of the item. The developer is responsible for meeting contractual benchmarks before receiving the incentive.","City council approved a development incentive for Shoal Creek Capital Partners to redevelop the 4.3-acre Hodges Automotive site at 6521 Colleyville Boulevard, waiving 75% of impact fees (about $422,000) after a staff presentation on projected tax and sales revenue gains.","actionData","errors"]
