PP2026-01 — Tarrant County Precinct 4 Maintenance Facility (communications towers to remain) in Azle, TX
Preliminary Plat approved for a ~29-acre Tarrant County Precinct 4 Maintenance Facility, sited mostly within Azle's ETJ with only a small eastern portion inside city limits (zoned Heavy Commercial). Because the site is in the ETJ, the city cannot enforce screening, landscaping, permitting, or zoning requirements even though it abuts a residential area. Developers interested in adjacent or similar ETJ parcels should note the reduced regulatory burden and the presence of a county maintenance/communications tower use nearby.
