SP26-0001 — Three-lot mixed commercial development consisting of three warehouse-office buildings (~72,134 sq ft)
This is a site plan for "Gateway Centre" (Tract B), a three-lot mixed commercial development of three warehouse-office buildings totaling roughly 72,134 square feet on about 3.81 acres within Planned Development 30. Developers interested in warehouse-office or flex-industrial product in this corridor should note the scale and use mix being approved here. P&Z is making a recommendation to City Council, so this is an advisory step rather than a final decision.
SP16-0015 — 7,032 sf amenity center facility with associated open spaces
This is a Development Plan for the Waterford Point Amenity Center, a 7,032 sf facility with associated open spaces within the Tribute subdivision in PD 23. It concerns a community amenity building rather than a new development entitlement, so it is likely relevant only to developers active in or near the Tribute/PD 23 area. No rezoning or density change is involved.
SP16-0013 — Addition of one multi-family building, additional parking, and a swimming pool to The Hudson project (previously approved for 29 multi-family buildings and associated common areas)
This is a development plan amendment within existing Planned Development 22 (PD-22) to expand The Hudson multi-family project—adding a 30th multi-family building, more parking, and a swimming pool to an already-approved 29-building development off Windhaven Pkwy. Developers watching multi-family supply or nearby parcels should note this increases residential density in the corridor. The P&Z will make a recommendation to City Council, so final approval rests with Council.
SP16-0016 — Urban 8 restaurant concept with 8 different restaurants in a single 8,400 sf building
A site plan amendment for "Urban 8 at the Victory," a restaurant concept combining 8 different restaurants within a single 8,400 sf building on SH 121 west of Firestone, within the existing Business Park (BP) zoning district. This is not a rezoning—the property stays BP—so it's relevant mainly to developers interested in multi-tenant restaurant/food hall projects in this corridor or those tracking nearby commercial activity along SH 121.
RP16-0010 — plat
This is a replat of Lot 1, Block H into Lots 1R, 2, 3, and 4 within the Grandscape Planned Development (PD 25), covering roughly 82.69 acres. For developers, this signals continued subdivision and lot reconfiguration in the large Grandscape mixed-use project, which may open up newly platted parcels for development at this high-traffic location.
RP16-0009 — plat
This is a replat of roughly 7.5 acres in the Business Park (BP) district along SH 121 between Top Golf and Firestone, reconfiguring four existing lots (4R1, 5R, 6R, 7) in East Oak Wood Village. No rezoning or use change is proposed, so this matters mainly to developers already active on these parcels or watching lot configuration in this high-visibility SH 121 corridor.
FP16-0007 — plat
This is a final plat approval for Phase 2 of the Waterford Point residential subdivision (~29 acres) within the existing Tribute Planned Development (PD 23) in The Colony. The plat divides the land into numerous residential lots across multiple blocks, indicating the project is moving toward development-ready status. Relevant to developers tracking lot supply and buildable inventory in the Tribute community.
RP17-0001 — plat
This is a Replat/Final Plat of six lots in Block D of the Grandscape Addition (Phase II), a large mixed-use development on the south side of the Sam Rayburn Tollway (S.H. 121) in the PD-25 district. It is a subdivision/lot configuration action, not a rezoning or change of use, so it primarily affects developers already active in the Grandscape project. No proposed use change or staff recommendation is stated.
SP16-0018 — Retail/restaurant complex with two buildings totaling 23,900 square feet
This is a site plan amendment for "Victory at The Colony," a retail/restaurant complex with two buildings totaling 23,900 SF on a 3.902-acre SH 121 parcel in the Business Park (BP) district. For developers, it signals ongoing commercial retail/restaurant development in a high-visibility corridor near Top Golf, but it does not change zoning or entitlements. P&Z is making a recommendation to City Council, so final approval is still pending.
RP16-0012 — plat
This is a replat of three existing lots (totaling about half an acre) within the Planned Development 2 district in The Colony, and staff/the agenda item recommends denial. For a developer, this signals a small residential lot reconfiguration that faced approval hurdles, so it likely offers limited direct opportunity and any similar replat in PD 2 may encounter city resistance.
Z17-0001 — Townhome development
This is a request to rezone approximately 1.44 acres at 5600 N Colony Blvd from Shopping Center (SC) to Townhouse Dwelling (TH) to allow a townhome development (Brentwood Court Townhomes Phase II). Developers focused on retail/commercial sites should note this converts previously commercial-zoned land to residential townhouse use. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council.
SUP17-0001 — Pet lodge with a designated outdoor play area
This is a Specific Use Permit request for Pappy's Pet Lodge at 4000 Paige Road to operate with a designated outdoor play area, subject to stipulations on surface treatment and storm water pollution prevention, and it would revoke the prior SUP Ordinance #2016-2221. The P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council. Relevant only to developers with an interest in this specific pet-boarding property or comparable animal-service uses in the area.
SP17-0004 — Townhomes (Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes)
This is a Development Plan request for the Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes, a townhome project on roughly 1.586 acres already zoned Planned Development-Townhouse Dwelling (PD-TH). Because the site is already zoned for townhouses, this is a site/development plan step rather than a rezoning, so it mainly matters to developers tracking new townhome supply or the specifics of this project. P&Z will make a recommendation to City Council.
SP17-0002 — Lifestyle center first phase including a parking garage and surface parking (Area 1A)
This is a Development Plan for the first phase (Area 1A) of the Grandscape Lifestyle Center within the existing Grandscape Planned Development (PD 25), covering a parking garage, surface parking, and overall utility, landscape, and drainage plans. It signals active build-out of a major mixed-use/lifestyle center project—relevant to developers tracking the Grandscape area or seeking adjacent/complementary opportunities. Note this is a development plan review (not a rezoning), so the underlying zoning is unchanged.
FP17-0001 — Townhomes (Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes)
This is a final plat (a replat) for the Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes, subdividing land into multiple townhome lots across six blocks within an existing Planned Development - Townhouse (PD-TH) district. For a developer, this signals that townhome development is moving forward on this ~3-acre site near Main Street; it is a routine subdivision approval rather than a rezoning, so no change to allowed uses is at issue.
PP17-0002 — plat
This is a preliminary plat request to subdivide 13.410 acres into Lots 1-6, Block A of the Gateway Centre addition, located at the highly visible SH 121 Service Road/Market Street corner within an existing Business Park (BP) district. For a developer, this signals imminent commercial/business park development activity on a prime highway-frontage site; no rezoning is involved, so permitted uses remain those allowed under BP zoning.
PP17-0001 — Townhomes (Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes)
This is a preliminary plat (a replat) for the Westport Lakeview Villas Townhomes, subdividing land into multiple townhouse lots across Blocks A-E and X within an existing Planned Development - Townhouse (PD-TH) district. For a developer, this signals active townhome development moving forward at a specific infill site near Main Street and S. Colony Blvd. It is a platting/subdivision approval step rather than a rezoning, so the underlying zoning is unchanged.
SP17-0018 — Retail, single-story cigar and smoke shop with indoor bar, indoor public event space and lounge, and outdoor covered patio lounge
This is a Development Plan request for Cigars International, a single-story retail cigar and smoke shop within the Grandscape (Planned Development 25) district. The proposed use includes an indoor bar, an indoor public event space and lounge, and an outdoor lounge on a covered patio. Developers interested in the Grandscape mixed-use area or adjacent commercial parcels may want to note this entertainment/retail addition.
SPI17-0021 — Boutique sports bar/restaurant
This is a Development Plan request for a boutique sports bar/restaurant on a pad site within the Grandscape Lifestyle Center (Planned Development 25), integrated into the Grotto experience. It is a site-level entitlement within an existing large mixed-use development rather than a rezoning, so it mainly matters to developers already involved in Grandscape or tracking the pace of build-out there.
SP17-0020 — Boutique restaurant (Thirsty Lion) integrated into the Grotto experience
This is a Development Plan review for the Thirsty Lion, a boutique restaurant on a pad site integrated into the Grotto's upper level within the Grandscape Lifestyle Center. It affects only a single restaurant tenant build-out inside the existing PD-25 (Grandscape) development, so it is relevant mainly to developers active in or adjacent to the Grandscape project rather than to broader zoning activity. No rezoning or change to underlying entitlements is involved.
SP17-0017 — Pedestrian-friendly amenity area with fountains, seating area, extensive landscaping, an event lawn and other amenities
This is a Development Plan for the interior of the Grandscape Lifestyle Center (Area 2C), proposing a pedestrian-friendly amenity area with fountains, seating, extensive landscaping, and an event lawn. It does not change the underlying zoning, which remains Planned Development 25 (Grandscape). Relevant mainly to developers with an interest in Grandscape's common areas or adjacent parcels, as it signals continued build-out and amenity investment in the center.
SP17-0012 — 2-level retail/entertainment/restaurant/bar area with pedestrian tunnel connecting Grandscape Boardwalk and Grandscape Lifestyle Center
This is a Development Plan request to build a pedestrian tunnel and related improvements creating a 2-level retail/entertainment/restaurant/bar area ("the Grotto") connecting Grandscape Boardwalk and Grandscape Lifestyle Center within the existing Grandscape PD-25. It is a site/development plan (not a rezoning), so it signals continued build-out of the Grandscape project rather than a change in zoning entitlements. Relevant if you have interests in or near the Grandscape development or its retail/entertainment mix.
SUP17-0004 — Day care center
This is a request for a Specific Use Permit to operate a day care center ("Fundamentals Enrichment Academy") within the existing Soul Thirst Church building on a Single Family Residential (SF-4) zoned property. There is no proposed rezoning or new construction indicated, so the impact is limited to adding a day care use to an existing structure. Likely low relevance to a developer unless interested in institutional/childcare uses in residential areas.
SP17-0024 — Infrastructure and parking to serve the Scheels superstore
This is a Development Plan for the infrastructure and parking lot serving the planned Scheels superstore at Grandscape Area 3A within PD 25. It is a site/infrastructure approval rather than a rezoning, so it signals the Scheels anchor is advancing to construction-readiness within the existing Grandscape PD. Relevant to developers tracking retail activity and pad availability at Grandscape.
SP17-0023 — Scheels superstore (retail)
This is a Development Plan (site plan) request for a Scheels superstore in Area 3B of the Grandscape Lifestyle Center, which sits within the existing Grandscape Planned Development (PD 25). It does not change the underlying zoning, so it mainly affects parties tracking build-out and tenanting of Grandscape rather than a rezoning opportunity. The item is a recommendation to City Council.
SP17-0022 — Bedrosians Tile and Stone showroom
This is a Development Plan approval for a Bedrosians Tile and Stone showroom within the existing PD-16 zoning district, forwarded with a recommendation to City Council. It does not change zoning but establishes the site development for a specific commercial building. Relevant to developers tracking retail/showroom activity along the SH-121 corridor in The Colony.
SPI17-0015 — Architectural modifications and improvements to a portion of the existing commercial multi-tenant shopping center building
This is a site plan amendment allowing significant architectural modifications to an existing multi-tenant shopping center at 5000 Main Street, which stays within its Shopping Center (SC) zoning. It does not change the zoning district or add development capacity, so it is likely only relevant to developers with a direct interest in this specific property or nearby retail. The P&Z will make a recommendation to City Council.
RP17-0005 — plat
This is a replat of a ~10.29-acre church property (Holy Cross Catholic Church) at 7000 Morning Star Drive, located in the SF-4 residential district. It only reconfigures the existing lot and does not change zoning or introduce a new use, so it is unlikely to be relevant to a developer unless they have interest in this specific parcel.
RP17-0007 — plat
This is a replat of a portion of an existing lot into Lot 1R, Block A of Lake Park Plaza East, a Light Commercial site at 7536 Main Street. It is a lot reconfiguration rather than a rezoning, so the underlying LC entitlements remain unchanged. Relevant mainly to developers directly involved with this parcel or adjacent commercial properties.
SI17-0010 — rezoning
The City of The Colony is seeking to rezone a ~4.583-acre city-owned tract from Single Family 4 (SF-4) to a Planned Development (PD) District. Because the specific permitted uses and PD standards are not stated in the agenda text, a developer would need the PD ordinance details to assess opportunity. The public hearing was continued from December 12, 2017.
SUP17-0006 — Dance Studio
A Specific Use Permit is being sought to operate a dance studio (Sherry Stephanie Dance and Music Company) in a suite at 4181 Main Street within the PD 14 zoning district. This is a tenant-use approval within an existing planned development and does not change the underlying zoning, so it is likely only relevant to developers with an interest in this specific property or its multi-tenant leasing.
SUP17-0005 — Limited service hotel (Hilton TRU)
A Specific Use Permit is being sought to build a Hilton TRU limited service hotel on a currently vacant tract in the Business Park district, between the existing Hyatt Place and Service King. Developers interested in hospitality or complementary commercial uses along Memorial Drive should note this adds hotel inventory to the area. The underlying BP zoning stays intact; only the SUP authorizes the hotel use.
SUPI17-0006 — Dance Studio
This is a Specific Use Permit request to operate a dance studio in an existing suite within the PD 14 district, with the Planning & Zoning Commission making a recommendation to City Council. The scope is limited to a single tenant use approval and involves no rezoning or new construction, so it is unlikely to be relevant to developers unless they own or manage the affected building at 4177 Main Street.
SUPI17-0005 — Limited service hotel (Hilton TRU)
This is a Specific Use Permit application to allow a Hilton TRU limited service hotel on a vacant tract within the Business Park (BP) zoning district. For a developer, this signals new hospitality development activity along the Memorial Drive corridor between existing hotel and retail uses. The hearing was continued from the January 9, 2018 P&Z session, so the case remains active and pending a recommendation to City Council.
RPI17-0006 — plat
This is a replat combining Lots 11 and 12 into a single lot (11R) in the Garza Little Elm Lake Estates addition for the Las Villas Offices, within an existing General Retail (GR) zoning district. Since it is a purely administrative lot reconfiguration with no zoning change or new use proposed, it is generally low-impact for a developer unless they have interest in this specific parcel. The existing GR district permits retail/office-type uses.
SP17-0025 — Neighborhood amenity center named "Beach Club at Tribute"
This is a site plan application for a ~1.59-acre neighborhood amenity center ("Beach Club at Tribute") within the existing Tribute Planned Development (PD-23). It supports residential amenity buildout in the Tribute community rather than proposing new development entitlements, so it is primarily relevant to developers active within that PD. No zoning change, staff recommendation, or petitioner is stated.
FP17-0010 — plat
This is a final plat approval for two lots totaling 3.221 acres within the existing Tribute Planned Development (PD-23) in The Colony. It is a routine subdivision/platting action rather than a zoning change, so it matters mainly to developers already active in or acquiring land within the Tribute PD. No use change or rezoning is proposed.
FP17-0009 — 43 residential lots and 3 common area lots
Final plat for the Brentwood Court Addition, subdividing about 3.9 acres into 43 residential lots plus 3 common area lots within an existing Town House Dwelling (TH) district. Relevant to developers pursuing townhome/for-sale residential product in The Colony, as it signals a nearby infill townhouse development moving toward buildable status.
PP17-0003 — Residential subdivision (43 residential lots and 3 common area lots)
This is a preliminary plat to subdivide roughly 3.9 acres in the Town Houses (TH) zoning district into 43 residential lots plus 3 common-area lots. It signals a townhome/residential development moving forward at North Colony Boulevard and Morning Star Drive.

SP17-0028 — Gym/Fitness Center ("Crossfit Strong")
This is a site plan application for a gym/fitness center ("Crossfit Strong") on an existing Business Park (BP) zoned site at 3905 State Highway 121; no rezoning is involved. For developers, this signals fitness/commercial use activity within the BP district but has limited relevance unless you own or are considering nearby BP-zoned property along SH 121.
SP17-0029 — Retail store specializing in sales of blinds and curtains
This is a site plan application for a proposed ~1.32-acre retail store ("JDX Properties") selling blinds and curtains within the existing Planned Development 16 (PD-16) district. It does not change the underlying zoning, so it is relevant mainly to developers tracking new retail activity or comparable projects at the SH-121 / South Colony Boulevard node. P&Z is making a recommendation to City Council on the site plan.
SP17-0019 — Townhome project ("Brentwood Court Townhomes")
This is a site plan application for a proposed townhome development ("Brentwood Court Townhomes") on about 3.9 acres already zoned Townhouse Dwelling (TH), meaning no rezoning is required. Developers interested in multifamily/townhome projects in this area may want to track this as a nearby comparable or competing project. It is a recommendation to City Council, not a final approval.
Z18-0001 — Coffee/donut shop with a drive-thru window
A request to rezone a property at 7501 Main Street from Planned Development 2 (PD 2), General Retail (GR), and Light Commercial (LC) to a General Retail (GR) district to allow a coffee/donut shop with a drive-thru window. Developers interested in small-format retail or drive-thru food uses along the Main Street corridor should note this consolidation into GR zoning. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council.
FP18-0001 — plat
This is a final plat for Phase 3 of the Waterford Point residential subdivision at Tribute, covering about 26.8 acres and numerous single-family-style lots within the existing PD-23 district. Developers active in the Tribute area should note that this phase is advancing toward buildable lots, signaling continued residential development and potential competition or partnership opportunities south of Phase 2.
SP18-0003 — Walmart Fuel Station and Convenience Store
This is a site plan review for a proposed Walmart fuel station and convenience store on a ~1.382-acre tract in the General Retail (GR) district; P&Z will make a recommendation to City Council. No rezoning is involved, so the use is already permitted in the existing GR district. Relevant to developers tracking new retail/fuel development or nearby competitive activity along SH 121.
SP18-0002 — Self storage facility (Platinum Self Storage)
This is a site plan amendment for the Platinum Self Storage project at 7536 Main Street in the Light Commercial district, changing the access design to use driveway entrances instead of a previously proposed slip road along northbound FM 423. It is an access/site design change only, with no change to zoning or use, so it is relevant mainly to developers tracking this specific storage project or FM 423 frontage access arrangements.
SP18-0001 — Approximately 8,015-square-foot restaurant ("Saltgrass Steak House")
This is a site plan request for an ~8,015 sq ft Saltgrass Steak House restaurant on a 1.498-acre tract at SH 121 and Cascades Court, within the existing PD-16 district. It does not change zoning, so it mainly matters to developers tracking retail/restaurant activity or planning adjacent commercial development along the SH 121 corridor. The P&Z will make a recommendation to City Council.
RP18-0003 — plat
This is a replat subdividing the existing Walmart Addition lot into two lots (1R-1 and 1R-2) on a ~20.6-acre site along SH 121 in the General Retail district. It signals possible pad-site or outparcel development on the existing retail property. Relevant to developers seeking commercial retail or pad opportunities near this high-traffic highway corridor.
RP18-0002 — plat
This is a replat subdividing Lot 3 into two lots (3R-1 and 3R-2) within the existing PD-16 zoning district on a ~3.16-acre site at SH-121 and Cascades Court. It does not change the underlying zoning, so it is primarily a lot-configuration matter rather than a use or entitlement change. Relevant to developers already active in The Cascades or those tracking parcel availability along the SH-121 corridor.
RP18-0001 — plat
This is a replat subdividing Lot 7, Block A of the Colony Center Addition into two lots (7A and 7B) on a ~20.16-acre tract at the northwest corner of SH-121 and South Colony Boulevard, within the PD-16 district. It only reconfigures lot lines and does not change the underlying zoning or permitted uses. Relevant if you are pursuing development of this specific highway-frontage parcel and need to understand the new lot layout.
SP18-0006 — 16,853 square-foot restaurant (Windmills Brew Pub)
This is a site plan review for a 16,853 sq-ft "Windmills Brew Pub" restaurant on a ~0.5-acre tract within the Grandscape Planned Development (PD-25). Relevant to developers tracking commercial/restaurant activity in the high-traffic Grandscape/SH-121 area, but it is a single-parcel site plan with no zoning change, so its broader impact is limited.
SP18-0004 — 4,000 square-foot restaurant (Akira Back)
This is a site plan review for a 4,000 sq-ft "Akira Back" restaurant within the Grandscape mixed-use development (PD-25). It's a small, project-specific approval on a 0.283-acre tract, relevant mainly to developers active in or adjacent to the Grandscape Waterfront area rather than a broader zoning change. No zoning district change is proposed.
SP18-0008 — Four-story, 49,147-square-foot limited service hotel (TRU Hotel by Hilton)
A site plan request to develop a four-story, 49,147-square-foot TRU Hotel by Hilton (limited service) on a 2.286-acre parcel within the Business Park (BP) and Gateway Overlay zoning districts. This is a hospitality development going before Planning & Zoning for a recommendation to City Council, relevant to developers watching hotel/commercial activity along the Memorial Drive corridor.
FP18-0002 — plat
This is a Final Plat for Waterford Point Phase 4 at Tribute, subdividing roughly 16.95 acres into residential lots (Lots 31-59 & 64X Block A; Lots 6-19 Block P; Lots 1-10 Block Q; Lots 12-19 Block R) within the existing PD-23 district. For a developer, this signals an active residential subdivision advancing toward buildout in the Tribute area, but it is a routine platting action rather than a rezoning or new entitlement opportunity.
SP18-0010 — Buildings J1 and J2 featuring retail stores, office, entertainment, and restaurants
This is a site plan review for Buildings J1 and J2 (retail, office, entertainment, and restaurant uses) within the Grandscape Lifestyle Center in the PD-25 district.

SP18-0009 — Retail center
This is a Site Plan Amendment for a proposed retail center at 3905 State Highway 121 in the Business Park (BP) zoning district, with the Planning & Zoning Commission making a recommendation to City Council. No rezoning is involved, so the underlying BP entitlements remain unchanged. Relevant to developers tracking new retail development activity along the SH 121 corridor.
SUP18-0002 — Day Care Center
This is an application for a Specific Use Permit to operate a day care center ("Sophia's Place / Sophia's Child Care Center") inside the existing Calvary Christian Center within a Single Family 4 (SF-4) zoning district. It does not rezone the property, so the underlying residential district remains unchanged. Relevant mainly to developers interested in the site or nearby parcels who want to track institutional/day care uses being permitted in this SF-4 area.
SP18-0011 — 14-story, 345-unit residential tower (Live Grandscape Residential Tower)
This is a site plan amendment to allow a 14-story, 345-unit residential tower ("Live Grandscape Residential Tower") within the Grandscape Lifestyle Center under PD-25. Developers active in or near the Grandscape mixed-use area should note the addition of significant high-density residential inventory. The Planning & Zoning Commission is making a recommendation to City Council on the request.
PP18-0001 — plat
This is a preliminary plat for Phase 4 of the Tribute Town Center at Westbury, subdividing roughly 90.5 acres into five commercial lots within the existing Tribute West PD (PD-23). For developers, it signals that a large mixed/commercial center is advancing toward buildable parcels in The Colony, which may indicate nearby development activity or acquisition opportunities. The plat itself does not change zoning, so permitted uses remain governed by PD-23.
SP18-0007 — Place of worship (approximately 8,000 sq ft mosque, "The Colony Mosque")
This is a site plan application for an ~8,000 sq ft mosque on a ~2-acre tract within the existing Shopping Center (SC) zoning district, with no rezoning requested. For developers, it signals a religious/institutional use consuming a commercial parcel near the Main Street and South Colony Boulevard intersection, potentially reducing available retail-zoned land in that corridor.
RP18-0006 — plat
This is a replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Thomas Agency Addition into two lots (1R-1 and 1R-2) within the Shopping Center (SC) zoning district near Main Street and South Colony Boulevard. As a replat with no rezoning or use change stated, it is likely a routine land division rather than a new development opportunity. Developers interested in the site should note the subdivision of the parcel but that the underlying SC zoning is unchanged.
FP18-0003 — plat
This is a final plat approval for Phase 1 of Scotty's Lake Lane, a 1.185-acre tract within the Tribute West Planned Development (PD-23). It appears to be infrastructure-related platting (LEISD) rather than a use change, so it primarily matters to developers already active in or tracking buildout of the Tribute West PD area.
RP18-0009 — plat
This is a residential replat of two existing lots (19 and 20) in the Haven Hills Mobile Home Estates, within the Mobile Home (MH) zoning district. It reconfigures lot lines only and does not change the zoning or introduce a new use, so it is likely of limited interest to a commercial developer unless they hold or are targeting adjacent MH-zoned residential property.
SP18-0013 — Middle school (Strike Middle School)
This is a site plan application for a proposed Little Elm ISD middle school ("Strike Middle School") on a 23.545-acre tract within the Tribute West PD (PD-23). It reflects public school development in this PD area but does not itself change zoning or open new commercial entitlements, so it is likely only relevant to developers tracking adjacent land uses or traffic in the Tribute West area.
SP18-0015 — 5,000 square-foot brew pub known as "Beard Science Brewpub"
This is a site plan amendment within the Grandscape PD-25 district to allow a 5,000-square-foot brew pub called "Beard Science Brewpub" near Destination Drive and Plano Parkway. It is a site-specific development approval rather than a rezoning, so it primarily matters to developers active in or adjacent to the Grandscape mixed-use area. No change to the underlying zoning district is proposed.
SP18-0014 — Five-story, 141-room hotel (Homewood Suites by Hilton)
This is a site plan review for a proposed five-story, 141-room Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel on a 2.944-acre tract within the existing Grandscape PD-25 district. No rezoning is involved—the use is already permitted under the PD—so this matters mainly to developers tracking hospitality development and buildout activity in the Grandscape area near Plano Parkway.
FP18-0004 — plat
This is a final plat approval for a 25.5-acre middle school site ("Strike Middle School") within the Tribute West Planned Development (PD-23) at the northwest corner of Lebanon Road near the Frisco city limits. It is a routine platting action, not a rezoning, so it does not change the underlying land use. Developers active in the Tribute West area should note the school placement as it may affect adjacent parcel demand and traffic patterns.
FP18-0005 — plat
This is a Final Plat approval for Lot 3, Block A of Gateway Centre, a 3.307-acre tract in the Business Park (BP) Zoning District and Gateway Overlay District. It appears tied to a proposed indoor gun range (Riflegear) site plan at the same address, so developers interested in this site should note the platting is finalizing the parcel for that use. No zoning change is involved.
SP18-0016 — 8,125 square-foot restaurant (Seven Doors Kitchen & Cocktails)
This is a Site Plan Amendment to allow development of an 8,125 SF restaurant ("Seven Doors Kitchen & Cocktails") within Area 1D of the Grandscape Lifestyle Center. It concerns a specific tenant build-out inside the existing Grandscape PD-25 district rather than any change to zoning or entitlements. Relevant only to developers with interests in the Grandscape center or adjacent retail/restaurant space.
PDA19-0001 — pd_amendment
This is a text amendment to an existing Planned Development (PD 25) that only updates the building code section to adopt the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code and related local amendments. It does not change permitted uses, density, or the zoning district itself, so it is unlikely to affect development potential beyond current energy-code compliance requirements.
SUP19-0002 — Tattoo parlor / tattoo establishment ("The Gallery"), 4,339 SF
A Specific Use Permit is requested to allow a 4,339 SF tattoo parlor within an existing PD-11 and Gateway Overlay tenant space at 4819 State Highway 121. The Commission will make a recommendation to City Council; the underlying zoning district is not being changed. Relevant to developers/landlords with retail or office space along the SH-121 corridor who want to understand what specialty uses require an SUP in this area.
SUP18-0006 — Warehouse building (A-1 Air Compressor)
This case seeks a Specific Use Permit to allow deviations from the Gateway Overlay District's site design, streetscaping/landscaping, pedestrian/bicycle, and bay door location standards for a proposed warehouse building at 7348 Elm Street. For developers, it signals flexibility (via SUP) on Gateway Overlay standards for warehouse/industrial uses in Heavy Commercial zoning, which could set a reference point for similar projects. No staff recommendation or hearing date is stated in the text.
SP19-0001 — Approximately 10,000 square-foot boutique restaurant ("Thirsty Lion")
This is a site plan amendment to revise the building elevation plan for a roughly 10,000 sq-ft boutique restaurant ("Thirsty Lion") within the Grandscape Lifestyle Center. It affects only building facade/design details for a specific tenant and does not change zoning or entitlements, so it is unlikely to matter to developers unless they have a direct interest in this parcel or in Grandscape design standards.
FP18-0006 — plat
This is a Final Plat for Phase 4 of the Westbury at Tribute subdivision, covering approximately 44.15 acres within the PD-23 (Tribute West) Planned Development. It subdivides the tract into numerous single-family residential lots across multiple blocks, signaling active residential build-out in this area. Developers tracking rooftop growth or seeking adjacent commercial/retail opportunities north of Lebanon Road should note the continued residential expansion here.
FP19-0001 — plat
This is a final plat approval for a 2.4262-acre lot within Gateway Centre, located west of Market Street and the SH 121 Service Road in the Business Park (BP) zoning district. No zoning change is proposed, so this is a routine platting step that finalizes lot boundaries to enable development on business park-zoned land. Developers interested in commercial/business park sites near SH 121 may want to track the resulting buildable parcel.
SP19-0004 — 1,235 sq-ft Bar-Lounge (Tiki Bar) and 3,745 sq-ft brew pub (Sourhouse)
This is a site plan amendment within the Grandscape PD-25 district to develop a ~1,235 sq-ft bar-lounge (Tiki Bar) and a ~3,745 sq-ft brew pub (Sourhouse) as part of the Truckyard development. It does not change the underlying zoning, so it matters mainly to developers active in or adjacent to the Grandscape mixed-use area tracking food/beverage and entertainment buildout. No staff recommendation or acreage is stated.
RP18-0005 — plat
This is a replat proposing to divide Lot 2, Block 12 of Garza-Little Elm Lake Estates into three lots (2R1, 2R2, 2R3) on a small 0.897-acre parcel within the PD 2 zoning district. Staff/agenda language calls for denial of the replat, so a developer eyeing this site should note the subdivision is being opposed and would need to resolve the underlying issues before any development can proceed.
SI19-0004 — other
This is an administrative request by The Billingsley Company to rename the private street "Kristler Lane" to "Kistler Lane," likely a spelling correction. It involves no rezoning, land use change, or development entitlement, so it has essentially no direct impact on development potential or property use for a developer.
SI19-0003 — other
This item proposes text amendments to The Colony's Gateway Overlay District regulations, affecting specific use permit procedures, building design standards, and fence and wall standards. Because it changes the rules that apply throughout the Gateway Overlay District rather than a single parcel, developers with projects in or near that overlay should track how these design and SUP requirements may shift. It is a recommendation to City Council on ordinance amendments, not a site-specific approval.
SPA19-0005 — Approximately 10,816 square-foot restaurant named "LSA Burger"
This is a site plan amendment for a ~10,816 sq ft restaurant (LSA Burger) within the Grandscape Boardwalk Phase II, inside the existing Grandscape PD-25 district. It concerns the specific site layout of one restaurant and does not change the underlying zoning or PD terms, so it is likely relevant only to developers directly involved with the Grandscape project or adjacent parcels.
SP19-0008 — Restaurant ("Bubba's 33, Pizza, Burgers, Beer") with 7,575 square-foot building area
This is a site plan for a new 7,575 sq-ft Bubba's 33 restaurant on a 2.42-acre tract along SH 121 near Market Street, within the existing Business Park and Gateway Overlay districts. No rezoning is involved—the use is already permitted—so it primarily signals commercial/restaurant development activity in this corridor rather than a change in entitlements. Developers watching the SH 121 gateway area may note this as a marker of retail/restaurant demand nearby.
SP19-0009 — Self-storage facility containing 97,500 square-feet
A site plan for a 97,500 sq-ft self-storage facility on a 1.497-acre tract at 7536 Main Street is up for a P&Z recommendation to City Council. The site is in the Light Commercial (LC) district and Gateway Overlay, so a self-storage use here signals what's viable along this Main Street corridor. Relevant if you're evaluating storage or low-intensity commercial development in this area.
SP19-0011 — Restaurant (Akira Back Steak), approx. 3,910 sq ft
This is a site plan amendment for an approximately 3,910 sq-ft restaurant ("Akira Back Steak," Phase I) within the Grandscape Waterfront in the existing PD-25 (Grandscape) district. It is a routine site plan approval for a single restaurant tenant, not a rezoning or change to development standards, so it likely matters only to parties directly involved in the Grandscape project.
SI19-0007 — other
This is a citywide text amendment to Appendix A, Section 17 ("Site Plan Approvals and Special Development Standards") of The Colony's Code of Ordinances, not a project on a specific parcel. Developers should watch this because changes to site plan approval procedures and special development standards could affect how future projects are reviewed and what standards they must meet. P&Z is holding a public hearing and forwarding a recommendation to City Council.
SI19-0005 — other
This is a citywide text amendment to Appendix A, Section 21 ("Board of Adjustment") of the Code of Ordinances, revising the Zoning Board of Adjustment's rules of procedure and appeals process. It does not affect a specific property or entitle any development, so it is unlikely to matter to a developer evaluating a particular site, though it may change how future variance appeals are handled. The Planning & Zoning Commission is considering a recommendation to City Council.
SUP19-0005 — Health and wellness store ("Artistic Organics")
This is a Specific Use Permit request to operate a 1,395-square-foot health and wellness retail store within an existing Shopping Center (SC) district and Gateway Overlay in The Colony. It is a small tenant-level retail use approval with no rezoning or new construction implied, so it is unlikely to affect broader development opportunities unless you are the landlord or a competing retailer at this location. Note the item was postponed from the 7/23 Planning and Zoning meeting.
GSW19-0002 — Bubba's 33 restaurant
This is a Gateway Standards Waiver request allowing a proposed Bubba's 33 restaurant to orient its primary entrance to a street other than the one from which it is addressed, on a site in the Business Park and Gateway Overlay District. It is a site-design/overlay waiver rather than a rezoning, so it affects building orientation only and does not change the underlying zoning or permitted use. Relevant only to developers concerned with Gateway Overlay design standards or this specific SH 121 parcel.
RP19-0007 — plat
This is a replat of Lots 2 & 3X into Lots 2R, 3XR, & 4, Block A of The Shacks at Austin Ranch, located within the Planned Development 22 (PD 22) zoning district. It reconfigures lot lines within an existing ~70-acre commercial tract at a prominent parkway intersection and is paired with a related site plan amendment reconfiguring lot lines and land uses. Relevant to developers tracking parcel configuration and development activity in the Austin Ranch/PD 22 area.
SP19-0015 — Addition of a sixteen (16) hole putting green
This is a site plan amendment for the existing Top Golf facility to add a 16-hole putting green within Planned Development 27 (PD-27). It is a minor site-level change to an existing entertainment use rather than a rezoning or change to the underlying PD terms, so it is unlikely to affect nearby development opportunities.
PDA19-0003 — Establish development standards for Westbury Village Phase 5
This is an amendment to the existing Tribute Planned Development ordinances (PD-18 and PD-23, Ordinance No. 2019-2351), modifying Exhibit B to establish development regulations specifically for Westbury Village Phase 5. Developers active in or near the Tribute community should review the revised standards, as they will govern permitted uses, dimensions, and design for this phase. The item is a P&Z recommendation to City Council rather than a final approval.
SUP19-0006 — Place of worship (SoulThirst Church) - continued operations
This is an amendment to an existing Specific Use Permit for SoulThirst Church, a place of worship at 4700 Nash Drive, to update the site area and layout for continued operations within an SF-4 residential district. For a developer, this is a minor administrative/operational update to an existing religious use and unlikely to signal broader development opportunity. The P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council following a public hearing.
SUP19-0004 — Place of worship (Life Church)
A church ("Life Church") is seeking a Specific Use Permit to operate a place of worship within an existing building on an already-developed site in a Single Family-4 (SF-4) residential district. This is an occupancy/use approval rather than a rezoning or new construction, so it has limited direct impact on developers unless you're interested in the SF-4 parcel or adjacent land. Recommendation goes to City Council after the P&Z public hearing.
SP19-0014 — Reconfiguration of the existing church site
This is a site plan amendment to reconfigure the existing Soul Thirst Lutheran Church site, located in the Single Family-4 (SF-4) zoning district. It does not involve a rezoning or new development entitlement, so it is unlikely to be relevant to a developer unless they have a specific interest in this church parcel. Impact on surrounding commercial development opportunities is minimal.
RP19-0009 — plat
This is a replat combining Lots 1, 2, and 3 of the Beach and Tennis Club Addition (plus abandoned county road strips) into a single 0.859-acre Lot 1R within the Agricultural (A) zoning district. It is a plat/lot reconfiguration only, with no rezoning or change of use stated, so it likely matters only to a developer directly involved with this specific parcel.
RP19-0006 — plat
This is a replat of a single church lot (Trinity Presbyterian Church Addition, Lot 1, Block 1) into two lots (1R-1 and 1R-2) on roughly 4.431 acres at a prominent F.M. 423 corner. The parcel sits within the Single Family-4 (SF-4) zoning district, so any commercial reuse would require a separate rezoning. Relevant mainly to developers interested in acquiring a subdivided church-owned corner parcel along a major arterial.
GSW19-0001 — Day care facility (vinyl fence around play area)
This is a Gateway Standards Waiver request to allow a six-foot vinyl fence around a proposed day care facility's play area, where the Gateway Overlay normally requires masonry, stone, brick, exposed aggregate, or stucco fencing with masonry columns. It is a design/materials waiver rather than a rezoning, so it does not change permitted uses or density on the site. Relevant mainly to developers concerned with Gateway Overlay fencing standards or building on this specific PD-16 site.
SP19-0018 — Restaurant (Shipley's Do-Nuts) redevelopment
This is a site plan application for the redevelopment of a 2,200 sq-ft Shipley's Do-Nuts restaurant on an approximately 15,300 sq-ft tract within the Shopping Center (SC) district and Gateway Overlay District. It's a small-scale commercial redevelopment on an existing site with no rezoning requested, so it is likely relevant only to developers interested in this specific parcel or immediate area.
FP19-0005 — plat
This is a Final Plat approval for the 1.947-acre Bankside project within the Tribute West PD-23 district in The Colony, located east of Bonnybank and north of Lebanon Road. As a final plat tied to infrastructure, it signals the parcel is nearing development readiness within an established Planned Development, which may be relevant for developers tracking activity or acquisition opportunities in that PD.
RP19-0010 — plat
This is a replat of a ~29.8-acre parcel within Planned Development 18 (Tribute) for the Tribute at Westbury K-8 Academy Addition. As a routine replat rather than a rezoning or use change, it is unlikely to affect neighboring development potential, but developers active in the Tribute PD may want to note the school-related lot reconfiguration.
PDA19-0002 — Off-premises/billboard signage
This is a proposed amendment to the existing Planned Development-16 District (PD-16) to permit and establish development standards for off-premises/billboard signage at the Village at 121 shopping center on SH 121. Developers or property owners interested in billboard/off-premises advertising rights in this corridor should track this, as it could set the sign standards for the site within the Gateway Overlay District. The item is a P&Z recommendation to City Council, not a final approval.
