Staff explained the unimproved segment appears never to have been used as a public street and that utility lines run through the right-of-way; the proposal requires dedication of any necessary utility easements. The Future Land Use Guide identifies the area as single-family medium-low density, and staff said other departments anticipate a positive impact on services and facilities.

The applicant (Samuel Banks) seeks to create two new lots; staff recommended approval subject to the right-of-way being replanted within six months.

Staff told the commission the site is zoned M-1 (light industrial) and that departments anticipate no significant impact on services or facilities; 11 notices were mailed and staff reported no returns in favor or opposition as of the report date. The applicant requested a variance for an equipment cabinet setback and provided evidence that collocation within 500 feet was not feasible; staff recommended approval.

Vince Heavinger of Vincent Gerard and Associates, representing the landowner, tower owner and AT&T Mobility, described technical coverage maps showing a “gap” in AT&T service and said capacity demands from data usage motivated the facility. Heavinger said the site is set well back within an industrial complex and would expand in-building and vehicle coverage in the area.

Several residents raised health and proximity concerns. Otis Webster asked whether emissions could be limited and expressed concern about nearby housing; staff replied that the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Aviation Administration regulate radio-frequency emissions and related siting matters and that such regulation preempts local regulation of RF exposure. Brenda Dearman referenced a foreign study she said linked cell towers to cancer and argued radiation can build up over time; she asked the commission to consider community risk. Glenn Johnson identified himself as a private citizen interested in nearby development and monitoring impacts.

Staff and the applicant answered technical questions on coverage and capacity and said the tower would relieve load on nearby sites. A motion to approve S25001 passed by voice vote; the record shows approval is indefinite in term. Engineering and federal compliance requirements remain conditions of construction and operation.","The planning commission approved a special use permit for a 150-foot AT&T monopole in an industrial park (S25001).

Staff reported the property’s future land-use designation will be amended from mixed-use medium center to general commercial; adjacent properties include agricultural and commercial zoning and some undeveloped land. As of the last staff report (June 27), four notices had been mailed and no responses were returned in favor or in opposition. Staff concluded the request meets approval criteria and recommended approval.

A commissioner moved approval, a second was recorded, and the commission voted to approve by voice vote. No public speakers registered opposition at the hearing.

Staff presented the application as a change from R1A to a planned unit residential district with a proposed density of 1.48 units per acre and two access points; staff said other development standards (setbacks, height, landscape, parking) would comply with R1A regulations and recommended approval. Anna, city planning staff, told commissioners the layout is a revised submission from a version denied in May and noted the site plan includes a private cul-de-sac exceeding the 600-foot length standard.

Neighbors urged the commission to pause or condition approval. Jim Clark, who gave his address as 1419 Cumberland Road, said the proposal has smaller lots than neighbors expected and cited repeated roadway flooding at Cumberland; Clark asked the commission to view video evidence of stormwater over the road. John Sauls, a 25-year resident at 1401 Cumberland Road, urged the commission to preserve more green space and said he has seen increasingly wider flooding where runoff crosses the road.

Trey Brewer, vice president of real estate at the Genneco Group and the applicant’s representative, said the developer intends a “first-class, high-end residential neighborhood” with deed restrictions identical to Legacy Bend and that the proposal’s density is lower than what current zoning allows. Brewer said an overall traffic study for the larger development area found Cumberland Road and Biloxi Road can handle the projected traffic; he also said engineers are finalizing stormwater calculations that will be submitted to the city engineer, Daryl Kotser.

Of seven mailed notices for this rezoning, staff reported one returned in favor and three in opposition, producing a protest calculation of 18.47 percent. After discussion, Commissioner votes were: Carlene Darkbaze — yes; Clint Childs — yes; Philip Humber — yes; Christina Davis — no; Michael Carmichael — yes; Roy Martinez — yes; David Hudson — no. The motion to approve carried 5 to 2.

The commission record shows the applicant may appeal procedures and any engineering details will be reviewed by city engineering prior to permitting; neighbors requested a study of runoff and asked for meetings with the developer and engineers outside the hearing. The commission’s approval sends the rezoning forward to the City Council, which will hear the item at its regular meeting on Wednesday, July 23, at 9 a.m.","The City of Tyler Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-2 to approve a planned unit residential (PD) rezoning for PD-25-011, allowing 40 single-family lots. Nearby residents raised concerns about stormwater runoff, traffic on Cumberland Road and lot sizes; staff recommended approval.","actionData","errors"]
