The Laredo Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 19 approved a set of technical and procedural items: a revision to the D and J Alexander Subdivision master plan, several preliminary and final plats, a six-month extension to a preliminary plat approval, and subdivision-model compliance. The commission also set the January 2026 meeting dates to the second and fourth Thursdays for that month.

Key approvals included:

- Revision of the D and J Alexander Subdivision master plan (Item 8a): staff and the applicant’s engineer (Cristina Gutierrez, Premier Engineering) presented the revision incorporating the Arthur Miller Court extension and reconfigured lots in Phase 15; the commission approved the revision subject to staff comments.

- Preliminary consideration of Los Presidentes East Subdivision Phase 5 (Item 9a): a 13-lot residential plat presented by Holland Engineering; the commission approved subject to staff comments.

- Preliminary and final plat of Copper Creek Subdivision Phase 6 (Item 10a): the commission approved the plat as presented.

- Extension of Isleta Subdivision Phase 1 preliminary plat approval (Item 11a): the commission approved a six-month extension of the preliminary-plat expiration date, moving the expiration from March 15, 2025 to Sept. 15, 2025.

- Subdivision model compliance (Item 12a): the commission approved model rules for South Subdivision Phase 3.

Each of these items was approved by motion and second with staff conditions where noted. The transcript records motions carried with unanimous “Aye” votes or without recorded opposition; numeric tallies were not provided for these routine items in the transcript.

The commission also discussed procedural follow-up: commissioners asked staff to relay a request to the parks department and development community to resume subcommittee meetings related to park-impact fees and development fees, and directed that the commission place subcommittee status on a future agenda for discussion.

Next steps: approved plats and master-plan revisions proceed through the city’s administrative timeline for plat recording and permit issuance; the Isleta Phase 1 extension will update the plat expiration schedule. The January 2026 meeting schedule will be posted on the city website and in the usual public agenda notices.
