The mixed-use proposal includes three first-floor tenant suites for restaurant, grocery or retail uses and a second-floor event center.

Lisa Payne, interim director of planning and economic development, told council the site plan (SP 24-16) follows a previously approved specific-use permit and that the applicant and staff revised conditions to remove any outdoor event space on the second floor. The 2.6-acre property is split-zoned between TX-10 and I-2; Payne said the plan provides 205 parking spaces (169 surface spaces and 36 underground), connects to existing sidewalks along the public streets and uses underground detention under the parking area.

The proposed building elevations show a two-story stucco structure with tower elements between roughly 17.5 and 37.4 feet in height; the site plan also includes a 24-foot fire lane around the building, two enclosed trash compounds and a photometric plan meeting the city’s lighting requirements. Payne said the development services group certified the request on June 10 and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6–0.

Architect Fahim Khan spoke in favor of the site plan at the council meeting, telling the council he worked with the city and fire and engineering staff to meet plan requirements. Councilmember Padell moved approval; Councilmember Jeremy Tompkins seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

With council approval the applicant may proceed with permitting and construction review. Staff will verify final engineering, landscaping and building details during permit review and inspections.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Euless - City Council","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved a site plan for an 18,015-square-foot commercial building with retail and restaurant suites on the first floor and an event center on the second floor; the applicant removed outdoor event space from the second story during the review process.","taxTitle","Euless, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",5094,"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},6491275,"Council approves two adjoining planned developments: 10-home PD and a private community center with parking",882,1237000,2119000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5567063-4df5bd9df198c7d1300e5273bf6eb8a7&start=1237&end=2119","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5567063-4df5bd9df198c7d1300e5273bf6eb8a7/thumbnail_1237000.jpg","/articles/6491275/Euless/Tarrant-County/Texas/Council-approves-two-adjoining-planned-developments-10-home-PD-and-a-private-community-center-with-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491275-c7e7bb543ee7b63666177461530453ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157825&Signature=fRx-CsJaP27XvFUlCuSU06UjaZPBOCA9zwNYywopfPQ3wj7K5qRN0XEGxdGfs4VaNsztJPmmSK7NETiWZImCrGcaAs2D81p5pRR8SUu5cGhdmhB54u6Gw1Kf2gteGM2sRTg4KSr~~5MHjVSZDTaBixpduHEYwurz7puPLO5zsf52-VrXxRbGsnsx5MhmOa~f0DN~T8WpUc3gdN04YNftbGBkDkw5UTUlKqpnWXu-0ILemi9XijxPlCtcjzchohSRuBWA0uduDtGhUNnnysbJSSVJPKrQQbHbZHxzaSy0v2O7UQ1-qd2vX7fCA6pceJn6o2jtGH4htta-6nRxphB9Hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euless City Council unanimously approved two adjoining planned development (PD) rezonings on Aug. 4 that will reconfigure roughly 4.3 acres near East Midway Drive and Fuller Weiser Road for a 10-lot single-family subdivision and an adjacent private community center with a remote parking lot.

Lisa Payne, interim director of planning and economic development, presented both cases. The first rezoning (PD 23-5; ordinance No. 2428) covers about 2.057 acres at the northeast corner of East Midway Drive and Fuller Weiser Road and would rezone the property from Neighborhood Business (C-1) to a PD permitting 10 detached single-family homes on a private street. Payne said the applicant proposes two-story homes with two-car garages, minimum lots of 5,200 square feet, 80% brick-or-stone façades, masonry walls along rear lot lines and a private fire lane called Boone Court that will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association. The concept plan shows 11 guest parking spaces and at least two ornamental trees in each front yard; an on-site open-space area is planned with a shade structure and cluster mailbox. Payne told council the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6–0 to recommend approval and that staff recommended approval as well.

Councilmember Pratik Patel moved to approve ordinance No. 2428 (first and final reading); Councilmember Perry Bynum seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The council then considered PD 24-01 (ordinance No. 2429), a proposal on a separate but adjacent 2.267-acre parcel immediately north of the 10-home site to allow a private community center and separate parking lot. Payne said the community center is proposed as a two-story recreation building (the concept plan showed about 10,000 square feet) to serve a nearby place of worship that lacks space for youth and senior programs. The proposal includes an underground detention system beneath the parking area, masonry screening walls along residential edges, evergreen screening trees planted at six feet tall minimum, and a wrought-iron fence on the Fuller Weiser frontage. Payne told council that code-required screening and landscaping are provided on the concept plan and that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval by a 6–0 vote; staff also recommended approval.

Councilmember Price moved to approve ordinance No. 2429 (first and final reading); Councilmember Bynum seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Payne noted the two projects show a planned fire lane connection between them that is not required for either to proceed independently; the lane will be part of the HOA maintenance area on the residential site. No public comments were received on either PD during the council public hearings.

Both ordinances are recorded as first-and-final readings; council approval will allow the applicant to proceed to platting and permitting steps required by development services and to return with site- and building-permit applications.","The Euless City Council approved two planned development rezonings—one for 10 detached single-family homes and a second for a private community center and additional parking—after Planning Commission and staff recommended approval.

After the hearing, the City Council voted to place the budget ordinance on the Aug. 18 agenda for final consideration.

The presentation, delivered by Finance Director/Controller Melissa Jewell, summarized revenues, operating expenses and capital requests across multiple city funds. Jewell said the proposed property tax rate is 47.6466 cents per $100 of valuation, split into 38.9 cents for maintenance and operations and 8.7 cents for debt service. She said the city’s “no new revenue” rate calculates to 46.73 cents. The council was told the proposed rate is below the voter-approval rate.

Jewell outlined specific utility and fee changes in the budget presentation. The Water and Wastewater Fund would reflect a $1 increase to the standard base meter charge for residential customers and an increase to volume charges to cover higher pass-through costs from suppliers and treatment: an increase of $0.47 per 1,000 gallons described for water collection costs and $0.54 per 1,000 gallons noted for Trinity River Authority wastewater pass-through charges. The presentation also proposed a one-year rebate of $0.75 per 1,000 gallons for residential customers using up to 15,000 gallons monthly, subject to annual review.

On stormwater, the budget presentation proposed a 50-cent increase for single-family residential customers; staff discussed corresponding adjustments for commercial impervious-acre fees during the presentation.

Jewell also described transfers to capital improvement programs: the water and wastewater fund’s annual contribution for line replacement would rise by $25,000 to $1.15 million, and the general fund transfer for annual street improvements would increase by $75,000 to $1.2 million. The presentation listed proposed capital projects including curb-and-gutter drainage improvements, street projects, traffic signals and various water and wastewater line replacements. Jewell said the draft budget maintains required reserve levels and funds 20 sworn police officers through the Crime Control and Prevention District allocations presented earlier in the meeting.

During the public hearing, resident Daryl Easton of Fayette Drive urged clearer budget presentation and expressed concern about rising city debt, saying the city's total debt had increased in recent years and that the budget documents are difficult for citizens to reconcile with the city’s audited statements.

After the public comment period, Councilmember Perry Bynum moved and Mayor Martin seconded a motion to place the proposed FY2026 budget ordinance on the Aug. 18 City Council meeting for consideration; the motion passed unanimously.

The council will take the final vote on the budget and related tax-and-fee ordinances at the Aug. 18 meeting. The full proposed budget and detailed project lists are posted online and available in the library and the city secretary’s office.","City staff presented the City of Euless proposed FY2026 operating and capital budgets, including a proposed tax rate and utility rate changes.
