28-160 — other
This agenda item concerns tree preservation requirements for development in Murphy, TX, establishing standards for protecting existing native trees (particularly oaks, elms, and pecans) during construction. Developers must obtain permits before removing protected trees (6 inches caliper or larger) and must provide replacement trees or negative tree credits for any removed protected trees. Single-family residential developed properties are exempt from these requirements.
01-1375 — other
The City of Murphy is proposing comprehensive text amendments to landscape and tree preservation ordinances (Articles 26.07 and 26.08). Key changes include clarifying applicability, creating administrative authority, implementing financial assurance requirements, establishing a formal tree removal permit process, and creating a Tree Mitigation Fund to provide flexibility when on-site tree replacement is not feasible. Developers should monitor these amendments as they will affect landscaping requirements, tree preservation obligations, and potential mitigation alternatives.
15-532 — Financial institution with a drive-thru
This is a Specific Use Permit request to convert an existing fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru into a financial institution (bank) with a drive-thru on a 1.09-acre PD-Retail zoned pad site along FM 544. The plan proposes a 3,391 SF building with 24 parking spaces, a new cross-access drive to the west, and results in a net reduction of impervious area. Relevant to developers interested in drive-thru retail/financial pad reuse on established commercial corridors in Murphy.

The request considers only the appropriateness of the bank use—no site plan is included, and the applicant must later amend the PD with a revised site plan before any construction. Developers should note staff-recommended conditions requiring cross access along the FM 544 frontage to the west and a landscape plan meeting Section 26.07 standards.
