Planner Pietriz Casa presented the item, saying the submittal (at 6801 Elkins Road) proposes creating two lots to sell 2 acres of the parent tract; staff recommended approval subject to standard conditions. Commissioners used the discussion to press staff and planners on the availability of city water and sewer in the area and on how deferrals and groundwater/septic certifications are handled for plats that rely on wells and septic systems.

Pietriz Casa said engineering and planning require either extension of city utilities to city standards or an approved deferral; if a lot relies on groundwater, the applicant must submit a groundwater certification form and comply with permitting and health‑department requirements. Commission members asked whether developers typically pay for utility extensions and how the city enforces completion; staff explained that final plat approval is contingent on satisfying the conditions (or receiving an accepted deferral) and that engineering typically inspects and enforces utility requirements before final plat approval. The health‑department comment noted septic permitting is handled through Martin County for properties in that jurisdiction and that connections or permits must be completed prior to final approvals.

Commissioner Beheel moved to approve the preliminary plat; Commissioner Garza seconded. The motion passed with a tally recorded in the meeting audio as 5–4 with 1 abstention. Staff and commissioners agreed that outstanding utility and deferral requirements must be met before the final plat is recorded.","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat to subdivide property at 6801 Elkins Road (Timber Wolf Estate Section 2) but commissioners pressed staff on whether water and sewer will be supplied or deferred and on groundwater/septic requirements for the area.",{"_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},6534378,"Planning commission defers Detour Bar alcohol permit after parking and neighborhood concerns",819,169000,988000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626125-3c3b77e00ed8b9f7bdc2e78c18f137b6&start=169&end=988","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626125-3c3b77e00ed8b9f7bdc2e78c18f137b6/thumbnail_169000.jpg","/articles/6534378/Midland/Midland-County/Texas/Planning-commission-defers-Detour-Bar-alcohol-permit-after-parking-and-neighborhood-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534378-7e8a2c335e478496ccb72738eee1abdc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144789&Signature=FGO5M056qx-3T93BTJehGWqMJW1FBTdv4PeT7HqOCJktcX2i~0YVbHOQd9m3RSjkCbPuBerj8BkX7qNJarGNlbzbGVCgWpsZRKcxlr-oWv3aaaXcF0ObjQfjFE8KadtYaq69u7Lx9PWHupHQQrmVh6PpMKr0xaItK3oJqw8UtggxHlmjkMeHiqbFqOlirYm-qdlKocdjPXQV6HPaAtpWSh5~mUb5YCCASanzsJUs5zOcm4XaWozg-YM9Pmqoc1pXKbHSSaT7KZnkhPavV7a7JkmixzLCvpISR9zQPYuh0zIoEzthKFbxyvsq-a595n1oZMuKufp~uBi9qG6AiBrEiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission deferred action on a Specific Use Designation (SUD) request that would allow the sale of all alcoholic beverages for on‑premises consumption at the Detour, 1708 Rankin Highway.

Staff presented the application and recommended approval, noting the business area is 3,870 square feet with a 3,361 square‑foot service area and proposed hours of operation and alcohol service from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. Alexis, a city planner, said the property's zoning is regional retail (RR) and that an SUD for alcohol is allowed in that zone. Two written objections were handed to commissioners shortly before the meeting and were distributed to the commission during the staff presentation.

Commissioners focused their questions on parking and neighborhood impacts. Multiple commissioners noted that parking compliance is checked during the building permit/site‑plan review rather than during the SUD process; Alexis said the building permit review previously showed the site met the parking requirements in effect when the permit was approved. Staff described the parking standard cited at the meeting for restaurant/bar uses as one space per four seats with a five‑space minimum plus one space per 100 square feet of kitchen area. A commissioner also said the staff report lists a building capacity of 258, and several commissioners said that, if accurate, that capacity raised questions about whether the existing lot provides adequate parking for bar customers and patrons who might park on nearby residential streets.

Commissioners also asked staff to research whether police‑presence conditions used on other SUDs (a requirement added for some recently approved bars) would be appropriate here. Several commissioners said the objections and the request for conditions merited a pause to gather incident report data and to verify how parking was determined at the time the building permit issued.

Commissioner Cisnega moved to defer the item to allow staff to gather parking and incident information and to evaluate whether conditions (including peace‑officer presence) are warranted; Commissioner Sparks seconded. The motion to defer passed 6–0.

The public hearing was opened and no members of the public spoke for or against the request at the meeting. The applicant listed in the staff packet is Alice Smith; the property owner listed is Russell Hoffman. Staff recommended approval but the commission deferred pending the additional information requested.","The Midland Planning and Zoning Commission deferred consideration of a Specific Use Designation for on‑premises alcohol sales at the Detour bar (1708 Rankin Highway) after commissioners requested more information about parking, incident reports and two late objections; staff had recommended approval.","actionData","errors"]
