The Forney Planning and Zoning Commission approved several technical site plans and a replat during its meeting.
The items approved by motion included:
- Village at Gateway: Site plan for 336 additional multifamily units within the Village at Gateway Planned Development. Staff said the development remains under the previously approved maximum unit caps for the Gateway area.
- Multi-tenant retail center (30,000 sq ft): Site plan for a new 30,000-square-foot multi-tenant retail center with 135 parking spaces; staff recommended approval.
- Forney Marketplace Lot 2A: Site plan for a 27,000-square-foot multi-tenant retail center adjacent to Crunch Fitness with 145 parking spaces; staff recommended approval.
- Replat: Forney Revised Gilani Addition: Final plat to create one lot of about one acre for a professional office complex; staff said the plat conforms to the City's subdivision and zoning ordinances.
- Signature Professional Center: Site plan for three single-story office buildings with 33 parking spaces; applicant clarified uses would be offices (attorneys, real estate, similar tenants) rather than retail and requested wood fencing along residential edges; staff recommended approval.
All items in this grouping were approved by unanimous voice vote during the meeting or otherwise passed without extended debate; staff presented each item as meeting applicable subdivision and site-plan standards. Where commissioners asked questions, applicants or representatives responded with clarifications about intended uses, fencing and parking. Each approved site plan will proceed to the next administrative step for civil-plan review and permitting as applicable.
