Staff said the changes are aimed at avoiding environmentally sensitive areas and preserving existing road capacity. \"This road is located inside a riparian buffer and floodplain,\" senior transportation planner Sahar Svandiary said, urging removal of the Underwood extension to avoid disturbing bottomland hardwood habitat. Chandra Murugandam, the city traffic engineer, told commissioners downgrading some road classifications should reduce impacts to nearby residences and reduce future right‑of‑way needs.

The amendments affect a swath of southwest Denton east of the airport. Svandiary described the package as four interconnected requests because the roads sit in close proximity: (1) remove the northern extension of Underwood Road that would have reached Airport Road (FM 1515); (2) remove a short east–west segment of Corbin Road shown on the current mobility map; (3) extend the functional classification of the north–south Corbin Road; and (4) make the entire Springside Road a collector rather than splitting its classification.

Staff cited two main reasons for the Underwood change: the proposed alignment crosses riparian buffer and floodplain areas and, because West Court and existing Corbin are nearby, the city already would have adequate capacity without the extension. Svandiary said the Underwood northern extension would have crossed bottomland habitat and local wildlife areas. On Springside, staff recommended downgrading the western segment from a secondary arterial to a collector to reduce right‑of‑way width and operating speed in a mixed rural‑residential and heavy‑industrial setting; the mobility plan classifies collectors with a 65‑foot right‑of‑way and typical speeds of 30–35 mph versus 110 feet and 35–40 mph for the secondary arterial classification.

Speakers from the public raised questions about the planning process and local impacts. Resident Kyle Eaton, of 2990 Corbin Road, said much of Underwood lies in the floodplain and asked how outside consultants and staff coordinated the original plan. Kevin McKinney, who lives on Underwood, commented on existing speeds and truck traffic on the road. Commissioners acknowledged those concerns but moved to advance the staff recommendation; Commissioner Dyer moved approval and Commissioner McDuff seconded. The motion carried 4‑0.

Staff said the amendments \"meet the criteria in section 271D of the Denton Development Code\" and noted the next public hearing before City Council is scheduled for June 17.

The commission also recorded public outreach for the request: an in‑person meeting May 7, newspaper notice, property signs, website announcement and mailed notices to a 250‑foot buffer; staff reported one written letter in favor.

The commission's recommendation sends the amendments to City Council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Denton - Planning and Zoning Commission on 2025-06-11 5:00 PM - Jun 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Denton City Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend city council approve mobility‑plan amendments that remove a proposed northern extension of Underwood Road, delete a short east–west segment of Corbin Road and reclassify Springside Road as a collector.","taxTitle","Denton City, Denton County, Texas","taxId",2787,"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},6641630,"At a glance: commission OKs two plat‑review extensions to June 25",322,3170000,3492000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484&start=3170&end=3492","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484/thumbnail_3170000.jpg","/articles/6641630/Denton-City/Denton-County/Texas/At-a-glance-commission-OKs-two-platreview-extensions-to-June-25","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641630-1e1b96e6bc5871bb25e9228ccf1529ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442842&Signature=jV~SINskhtcpbHn42XIOkBD4EzxsSix92KxHlHynXSidCPmxgiRsSRTRFgGp995oFOZfGOQy1cRxwOvQZdv6lWe3SRAqJ3F710s8hqU5Jxf5Rt62CBF9nbuW5zWv99oHeoWbn-WqYjMN7uj6J3yTL0Uky2Ba-seXbYzO2pNZl3QhBGr~KqDLSwyNZZQn1fz8vHLhfpfNvcRih~dC31UDEPdlfs5gIla2930rkTQ6DWZztzmPaB8HRQQfZRoNELI5J9g4B5nwEvYu5l6T9~DAX93eIcq7jAnz75uoogftqheJQeIZ9x6UNLEajuZTC9b0S0jydtou2fetFdxXOK58DA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Denton Planning and Zoning Commission on June 11 approved extensions to June 25 for two final plats that staff said were not yet ready for approval.

Hickory Grove Phase 4 (FP25‑0018). Mia Hines, senior planner, said the 115‑acre Phase 4 plat in a municipal utility district north of West University Drive does not meet all Denton Development Code criteria as submitted; staff recommended denial but supported a requested extension to June 25. Commissioner McDuff moved to grant the extension and Commissioner McDade seconded; the motion passed.

Hickory Creek Center — Lot 1, Block B (FP25‑0020). Assistant planner Matt Bodine said the roughly 10.5‑acre tract west of Teasley Lane proposed for a self‑storage facility similarly did not meet all criteria and requested a review extension. The commission approved an extension to June 25; the motion was seconded and passed.

Staff indicated the outstanding items for the Hickory Grove plat include minor plat notes and documentation related to gas wells and other technical corrections; Hines said the developer likely could address those items before the extension deadline. For the Hickory Creek Center plat, staff likewise indicated outstanding technical items to be resolved before final action.","The Planning and Zoning Commission granted date‑certain extensions to June 25 for two final plats — Hickory Grove Phase 4 and Lot 1, Block B, Hickory Creek Center — after staff said both plats do not yet meet all criteria for approval.",{"_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},6641635,"Commission questions Churchill East plat: staff clarifies ownership, TIA status and build‑out timeline",229,352000,581000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484&start=352&end=581","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484/thumbnail_352000.jpg","/articles/6641635/Denton-City/Denton-County/Texas/Commission-questions-Churchill-East-plat-staff-clarifies-ownership-TIA-status-and-buildout-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641635-ed5e15c038d27b94a5d52a79c724fc46/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442842&Signature=WS6dVV9~XFdCdpioFrTcfEjRZmIureggfPZ7UrtOVzw50fxdWDpuPHNiz-ZCuDAuE5EtzgP8MRarVruV5w6g3YZ0P4beEu2~6TOM3qSqzt4mWj6YIFl5dbwXQydByfzAOsLnOCxZWJrIvSZor2tue5dBIV0543WOJLKbWs5BWvncGj9s5aYSdHUnVlQcan7KJtCKl0CXaSeUu-8XdB6LYilrzTAGm6mofKKrNiq0KmBZmEFS8-PfJBfQCkY4tgYNrIJlV~NSJ-gm-8HVJ~yIvP1mlFFGmawArtdSwlGfhisGthhXB1-rWnRW1qPRCBiXIbxlxAEZMFRCYmN2qvsF-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the June 11 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission asked staff to clarify details on PP252 (Churchill East), a plat in Denton’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Ashley Exstead, associate planner, answered commissioners’ questions about ownership, road connections, traffic analysis and schedule.

Exstead said the property to the west is owned by the same developer and will be called Churchill West; both tracts will be developed though the parts in Denton’s ETJ and Ponder’s ETJ are handled by the respective jurisdictions. She said the subject property is about 3 miles from the “future loop” as shown in the plan materials and that a traffic impact analysis (TIA) is currently under review. \"Their TIA is under review now, so it's not approved yet. But in that TIA, they do discuss reconfiguring certain roads, constructing turn lanes at certain roads, installing traffic signals eventually,\" Exstead told the commission.

On timing, Exstead said the Denton side has a projected 10–12 year build‑out. Commissioners also raised notification and outreach: staff described the city’s notice program (letters to property owners within 200 feet and postcards to utility customers for a broader mailing). For this site staff said only a small number of nearby parcels are developed, and that five property notifications appeared in the record because many surrounding parcels are undeveloped.

Commissioner Dyer asked for the visual clarifications and noted the property appeared landlocked until the commission reviewed the plat and adjacent properties. The item remained on the consent agenda; staff offered to work with commissioners on minor edits to minutes and to return corrected minutes at a later meeting.

No formal action was taken on the plat at the work‑session discussion beyond confirming staff would continue to process the application and that staff had no objection to the consent‑agenda handling if commissioners had no further questions.","Staff told the Planning and Zoning Commission that Churchill East (PP252) is partly in Denton’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, borders Ponder’s ETJ and the west portion (Churchill West) is also owned by the same developer; a traffic impact analysis is under review and city staff said Denton’s portion has a 10–12 year build‑out.",{"_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},6641638,"Commission recommends removing planned west‑side collector near railroad and floodplain",4987,1255000,6242000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484&start=1255&end=6242","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779370-db9b01af06fd84acdf492f287f293484/thumbnail_1255000.jpg","/articles/6641638/Denton-City/Denton-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-removing-planned-westside-collector-near-railroad-and-floodplain","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641638-62c3668999d908ea6b8c96ee31c67313/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442842&Signature=CXgHPa44wAA1QmLOx5Gu0QQbIdpNge-ouDE-xjhv5xlv3GOUe04HUuQHTpCHB3nr8BCk0dKBasW1JBj~NTzlG74gP2pWx5VYDwa5ZTSzLQIQ1jKhdCBdvM92Cf~vZPmb9UI4gZkAHsxNrnB8Jym15MMf2FotgNlnv2X6Qf~vKt1c~RMF3btVf2fOO50Fh006RlEqKG7xzRja6cH4MF7fDT~oYp77C183CsKVxp-TgiCElUxVV6bj30ejQO6P~CuQpo95MKZwVeG08vB5Wb-30yy6yzu4K1HAKVMFBhAox1EOiVJh3TOewn8JgPnZlfGiO54Vbieu3Qn8MfMcVHdkzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Denton Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously on June 11 to recommend City Council approve a mobility‑plan amendment that removes a planned future collector on the city’s west side between I‑35 and Western Avenue, south of US‑380 and north of Jim Christal Road.

Senior transportation planner Sahar Svandiary told commissioners the proposed collector would require a new railroad crossing of the Kansas City Southern line and identified a northern section of the alignment located inside the FEMA 100‑year floodplain. \"There is a railroad crossing here,\" Svandiary said, adding that opening a new at‑grade crossing would require closing other crossings and carries additional safety concerns. For environmental reasons and because nearby primary arterials provide capacity, staff proposed deleting the collector from the mobility map.

Svandiary said staff completed public outreach that included a mailed notice to property owners within a 250‑foot buffer, posted signs, a newspaper advertisement and a website announcement; staff reported one written letter in support. The commission moved to forward the amendment to City Council after a motion by Commissioner Dyer and a second by Commissioner McDuff. The vote was unanimous.

Staff recommendation language cited consistency with the comprehensive plan and the mobility plan and noted the item will appear at the City Council public hearing on June 17.","The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that City Council delete a planned collector located between I‑35 and Western Avenue south of US‑380, citing a nearby railroad crossing and floodplain constraints; staff said surrounding arterials provide sufficient capacity.","actionData","errors"]
