SPA26-0005 — other
This case involves a site plan amendment for The Rustic restaurant at Grandscape, a 21,723 sq ft facility, to add an entry trellis and canopy feature. The project is located within the existing NFM-Grandscape Planned Development, so it does not involve rezoning or major land use changes. Developers should review this if they have other projects at Grandscape or are interested in design feature approvals within this PD.
SUP26-0001 — Auto Rental (DFW Wheels OEM-Uhaul)
A Specific Use Permit request for an auto rental facility (DFW Wheels OEM-Uhaul) at 5201 South Colony Blvd in the Shopping Center Zoning District. The project includes approximately 1,695 sqft of vehicle storage and 1,500 sqft of office space within an existing shopping center suite. This case may impact developers seeking to operate similar commercial services or occupy adjacent retail space in the Gateway Overlay District.
PDA26-0001 — Mixed commercial development - Gateway Centre North
This case involves amendments to the development regulations (Exhibit B) for Planned Development 30 to modify standards for the Gateway Centre North mixed-use commercial project on a 6.5-acre site. The Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on the proposed PD amendments.
SP25-0002 — Two warehouse buildings with storage and office/flex space
Perfect 10 Promotions has submitted a site plan for two warehouse buildings totaling approximately 9,744 sq. ft. on a 0.55-acre lot in the Light Commercial district. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve this site plan application.
RP25-0003 — plat
This case involves a replat of seven lots (Lots 8-15) totaling 0.55 acres in the Light Commercial district of The Colony. The replat consolidates or reconfigures the lot configuration in this commercial area, which could affect development potential, buildable areas, or access arrangements for properties in Garza Little Elm Lake Estates.
SP25-0005 — Restaurant with drive-thru service
White Castle is seeking site plan approval for a 3,430 sq. ft. restaurant with drive-thru service on 1.64 acres within the NFM-Grandscape Planned Development. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council on this site plan application.
SPA25-0006 — Restaurant with patio enclosure renovations and patio cover addition
Kilo Steakhouse is seeking approval for a Site Plan Amendment to renovate 913 sqft of existing patio enclosure and add 1,060 sqft of patio cover at their 4,233 sqft restaurant location within the Grandscape development. This case affects developers interested in restaurant modifications and outdoor expansion feasibility within the NFM-Grandscape Planned Development district.
SPA25-0014 — other
EoS Fitness is seeking approval of a site plan amendment for elevations at their location in The Colony Marketplace Shopping Center. The property is located in the Shopping Center zoning district with Gateway Overlay restrictions, which may affect the appearance requirements. Developers should monitor this case if they have operations or future plans in The Colony Marketplace or have similar elevation modification requests subject to gateway overlay requirements.
PDA25-0001 — Chelsea Green Phase II - 14 residential lots and 1 common area
This case involves amendments to the existing Planned Development 18 (PD-18) district regulations to accommodate the Chelsea Green Phase II residential development, consisting of 14 residential lots and 1 common area. Developers with interests in PD-18 or The Tribute should review whether these amendments affect their project footprint, density allowances, or development standards. The amendment updates development regulations for both PD-18 and PD-23 and modifies the master plan illustration.
FP25-0001 — Residential subdivision within Planned Development 18 (PD-18), aka Tribute
A final plat for approximately 26 acres in the Tribute Planned Development subdivision is being considered. This involves platting multiple residential lots across two blocks in an established PD-18 development within The Colony. Approval would allow the development to proceed with lot sales and construction within the planned community.
SPA24-0015 — Enclosure of two 780 sq.ft. outdoor dining patios for a restaurant
This is a site plan amendment for "Cascades Restaurants" to enclose two existing 780 sq.ft. outdoor dining patios at 6520 Cascades Court. The site sits within Planned Development 16 (PD-16) and the Gateway Overlay District. This is a minor tenant-level modification with no rezoning or change in permitted use, so it is unlikely to matter to a developer unless they hold an interest in this specific property.
SP24-0002 — Single-story multi-tenant retail building of approximately 17,441 sq.ft.
This is a site plan review for a ~17,441 sq.ft. single-story multi-tenant retail building on a ~1.46-acre pad at the high-visibility SH 121 / South Colony Blvd frontage within PD-16 and the Gateway Overlay District. Developers eyeing multi-tenant retail in this corridor should note the site is already zoned PD-16 and moving through P&Z site plan approval, indicating active commercial development at this intersection. The Commission is making a recommendation to City Council; no staff recommendation or existing/proposed uses beyond the retail building are stated.
SPA24-0005 — Townhome development (33 units)
This is a site plan amendment for an existing 33-unit townhome development, changing only landscape and screening requirements—not a rezoning or new entitlement. The underlying PD-TH zoning and unit count are unchanged, so this matters mainly to parties already involved with this specific Westport Lakeview Villas project rather than to developers seeking new development opportunities.
SPA23-0014 — Amenity center (~2,404 sf building) with a 2,334 sf pool, 180 sf spa, and trellis accessories
This is a site plan amendment for the "BB Living at The Tribute" community to build an amenity center (~2,404 sf) with a pool, spa, and trellis accessories on an approximately 23.866-acre site within PD-23. It is an internal amenity buildout rather than a rezoning or density change, so it likely matters only to developers directly involved with this PD-23 project.
PA23-0012 — Addition of eight pre-manufactured sauna structures to the existing spa and pool resort
This is a site plan amendment for the existing "Worldsprings" spa and pool resort to add eight pre-manufactured sauna structures across the 12,720 sq-ft facility. It is a minor operational/facility change within the Grandscape PD (PD25), not a rezoning or new development, so it likely matters only to parties directly involved with this site or the Grandscape development.
SPA23-0011 — Office building (~7,137 sq ft)
This is a site plan amendment for the "State Farm Office Building," a roughly 7,137 sq ft building on ~0.48 acres, revising building square footage, landscape, parking, and circulation. It does not change the underlying zoning, which remains the Shopping Center District with a Gateway Overlay. Relevant mainly if a developer is tracking small commercial office development or the Gateway Overlay corridor rather than rezoning opportunities.
24-101 — other
This is a text amendment to The Colony's Comprehensive Zoning Code, adding subsection 24-101(1) to address notice requirements for nonconforming uses. It is not a site-specific rezoning or entitlement, so it has no direct impact on any particular parcel; however, developers with nonconforming uses should note any new notice obligations. The amendment applies citywide rather than to a specific project.
PDA23-0004 — Townhome development ("Chelsea Green at the Tribute")
This case amends the existing Tribute Planned Development (PD-18 and PD-23, Ordinance 2022-2464) by modifying Exhibit B development regulations and updating the concept plan townhome elevations for the "Chelsea Green at the Tribute" townhome development on roughly 29.7 acres. Because it changes the terms of an existing PD ordinance rather than rezoning to a new district, it may affect design standards and product type for townhome development in the Tribute — relevant to developers active in or near this master-planned community.
SPA23-0006 — Logistics park / industrial (dock and dock door modifications)
A site plan amendment for the Live Oak Logistics Park Phase II-B, increasing Building D docks from 42 to 44 and Building E dock doors from 30 to 33, with elevation updates to reflect door locations. This is a minor operational tweak to an already-approved industrial/logistics site rather than a rezoning, so it likely matters only to developers directly involved with this park. No change to zoning district or allowed uses.
PA23-0001 — Restaurant (existing) with 430 sf addition and expanded drive-thru canopy
This is a site plan amendment for an existing Chick-fil-A restaurant, adding a 430 sf building addition, replacing and expanding the southern drive-thru canopy to 2,550 sf, and modifying service circulation, parking, and landscaping. It does not change the underlying zoning (General Retail / Gateway Overlay), so it is only relevant to developers tracking this specific site or nearby retail activity rather than a rezoning opportunity.
P23-0004 — Office building (approximately 3,743 square feet)
This is a site plan review for a ~3,743 sq ft "State Farm Office Building" on a ~0.48-acre lot in the Shopping Center Zoning District and Gateway Overlay District. It is a small commercial office development rather than a rezoning, so it matters mainly to developers tracking new office construction or activity in this shopping center corridor. No zoning change is proposed.
SPA23-0003 — 151 Coffee (coffee establishment) storefront elevations
This is a site plan amendment for the storefront elevations of a "151 Coffee" location at Grandscape, within the PD-25 planned development. It concerns exterior building design/elevations only, not a rezoning or change in land use, so it is unlikely to affect broader development entitlements at the site.
PDA22-0006 — 6-story, 163 guest room hotel ("The Tribute Hotel Resort") with restaurant and event space
This is an amendment to the existing Planned Development-18 (The Tribute) ordinance to establish development standards for a 6-story, 163-room hotel resort with restaurant and event space on roughly 7.7 acres near Bridge Lane and Lebanon Road. Developers interested in hospitality, dining, or event/resort projects within the Tribute Community should track this, as it sets the specific standards governing hotel development on the site. Note the case is on a discussion path with a recommendation to City Council.
SP20-0005 — Park and marina
This is a site plan application for "Tribute Lakeside Park and Marina," an approximately 25-acre park and marina on Lake Lewisville within The Tribute Community. The site is currently zoned Agricultural (A). Developers interested in lakeside recreational, amenity, or adjacent residential opportunities in The Tribute may want to track this project.
SUP20-0003 — Park (or playground, public)
This is a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a public park/playground on approximately 11.3 acres currently zoned Agricultural within The Tribute community. For a developer, this signals recreational/open-space use rather than a competing commercial or residential entitlement, and it may affect adjacent parcel values and amenity offerings nearby.
SP21-0005 — Approximately 419-unit multi-family development
This is a Site Plan application for "The Lancaster," an approximately 419-unit multi-family development on about 18 acres within the Austin Ranch Planned Development (PD22). Developers focused on multi-family/residential projects in this corridor should note the scale and location; the P&Z Commission is making a recommendation to City Council, so this is an advisory (not final) step.
SP22-0001 — Restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining (approximately 8,430 square feet)
This is a site plan amendment for "The Local Kitchen and Bar," an approximately 8,430 sq ft restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining on roughly 2.17 acres within the PD-22 (Austin Ranch) district. It is an administrative site plan approval, not a rezoning, so it signals ongoing restaurant/commercial development activity in Austin Ranch rather than any change in entitlements. Relevant to developers tracking retail/restaurant momentum in the Plano Parkway/Windhaven Parkway area.
SUP22-0001 — Bar, Lounge or Tavern ("Brewpub")
This is a Specific Use Permit request to allow a Bar, Lounge or Tavern ("Brewpub") use within an existing ~8,400 sq ft building at 5265 SH 121, located in the Business Park (BP) Zoning District and Gateway Overlay District. The request includes a condition seeking relief from the required 1,000-foot separation from the nearest Beverage Store, as the proposed use would be approximately 250 feet away. Relevant to developers interested in food/beverage or entertainment tenants in the Urban8 area, particularly where alcohol-use separation standards could otherwise be a constraint.
RP21-0010 — plat
This is a replat of Lot 1, Block E, Grandscape Addition into four lots (Lots 1R, 2, 3 & 4) covering roughly 6.93 acres within the PD-25 (Grandscape) mixed-use district. For developers, it signals ongoing subdivision of prime Grandscape frontage land, potentially readying new pad sites for development; no zoning change is proposed, so existing PD-25 entitlements remain.
99-1129 — Billboard (increased height from 42.5 feet to 70 feet)
This case proposes to increase the height of an existing billboard in the Village at 121 shopping center from 42.5 feet to 70 feet through amendments to the Planned Development-16 District. The site is also subject to the Gateway Overlay District. Developers should monitor whether this billboard height increase affects visibility, design standards, or gateway corridor expectations in the area.
PP21-0004 — Multi-family (The Shacks Multi-Family)
This is an engineering design manual variance request for The Shacks Multi-Family project on an ~18-acre site within PD-22, seeking to allow a 94.5-foot curb cut dimension where the manual requires a 230-foot minimum. It is a technical engineering/access standard exception (not a rezoning), so it matters mainly to developers concerned with site access and driveway spacing on this specific multi-family site. The P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council.
PDA21-0002 — Open storage (with visual screen) within a Business Park (warehouse and light fabrication and assembly) use
This case amends the existing PD-19 ordinance to define and establish regulations for open storage (with visual screening) on a 97.55-acre business park tract used for warehouse and light fabrication/assembly. For developers of logistics or industrial projects in this area, it could open up new open-storage capabilities on the site. The P&Z Commission is making a recommendation to City Council, so final terms are not yet set.
SP21-0006 — Multi-building commercial development (Live Oak Logistics Center Phase IIB)
This is a site plan for Phase IIB of the Live Oak Logistics Center, a multi-building commercial/logistics development on about 26.26 acres within PD 19 and the Gateway Overlay District. For developers, it signals continued industrial/logistics buildout in this area; the P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council. No zoning change is proposed, only site plan approval.
SP21-0004 — Multi-building commercial development (Live Oak Logistics Center Phase IIA)
This is a site plan application for Phase IIA of the Live Oak Logistics Center, an approximately 46.66-acre multi-building commercial development within PD-19 and the Gateway Overlay District. The P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council. Developers interested in industrial/logistics or commercial activity along the F.M. 423 corridor should note this large-scale build-out proceeding under existing PD-19 entitlements.
SP21-0003 — 2,388 square-foot restaurant ("Velvet Taco")
A site plan for a 2,388 square-foot Velvet Taco restaurant is proposed on Lot 2, Block J inside the Grandscape PD-25 district. This is a site plan approval (not a rezoning), so relevant mainly to developers tracking build-out and tenant activity within the Grandscape development. The Planning & Zoning Commission is making a recommendation to City Council.
SP21-0002 — Additional parking, a driveway, and landscaping for the LISD Eastside Aquatics Center
This is a site plan for parking, driveway, and landscaping improvements at the existing LISD Eastside Aquatics Center (natatorium) within Planned Development 20. It is an institutional/school facility expansion rather than a new commercial development, so it likely offers little direct opportunity for a private developer. It may be relevant only as a signal of infrastructure and traffic changes near Memorial Drive and Trailview Drive.
FP21-0002 — plat
This is a final plat approval for Phase 2 of the Scotty's Lake Lane infrastructure, a small 1.61-acre tract within the existing Tribute West Planned Development (PD-23) near Lebanon Road. It signals that infrastructure development is advancing within PD-23, which may matter to developers tracking buildout and access in the Tribute West area. No zoning change or new use is proposed—it is a platting/subdivision action tied to previously approved zoning.
PDA20-0004 — Single-family rental (multi-family "greencourt") community
This case rezones ~23.9 acres within PD-23 from Tract 1 to a new Tract 1A to allow a single-family rental ("greencourt" multi-family) community at The Tribute, while also amending development standards for the remaining undeveloped portion of Tract 1. Developers interested in build-to-rent or multi-family product in this area should note the new tract-specific standards and the reduced developable area of remaining Tract 1. The Planning & Zoning Commission is making a recommendation to City Council, so final approval terms are still pending.
SP20-0002 — Multi-building commercial and medical office development
This is a site plan application for The Colony Plaza, a multi-building commercial and medical office development on about 3.845 acres in the Shopping Center (SC) zoning district and Gateway Overlay District. For a developer, this signals active commercial/medical office development activity in this area and shows the site is already zoned SC—no rezoning is being sought. The P&Z Commission is making a recommendation to City Council on the site plan.
PP20-0002 — plat
This is a preliminary plat for a roughly 3.845-acre lot within an existing Shopping Center (SC) district at a prominent corner near Lake Ridge Drive and Main Street. It reconfigures existing platted land (Lot 2AR into Lot 2AR1) rather than changing zoning, signaling the site is being prepared for near-term commercial development. Relevant to developers tracking retail/commercial pad sites in The Colony, but no use change or rezoning is proposed.
PP20-0001 — Residential subdivision (80 residential lots and 3 common area lots)
This is a preliminary plat for Camey Place, an 80-lot residential subdivision on a 14.306-acre site at the northeast corner of South Colony Boulevard and Memorial Drive within PD-28. The item is being reconsidered by the Planning & Zoning Commission (previously heard January 12, 2021), signaling the project is advancing through platting. Developers interested in nearby residential or commercial opportunities should note the density and residential character being established at this intersection.
SP20-0006 — Multi-building commercial development (logistics park)
This is a site plan application for Phase I of the Live Oaks Logistics Park, a multi-building commercial (logistics/industrial) development on roughly 22.11 acres within Planned Development 19 (PD 19) and the Gateway Overlay District. For a developer, this signals active industrial/logistics development in the area and reflects the design standards applicable within PD 19 and the Gateway Overlay. The P&Z Commission is making a recommendation to City Council on the site plan.
GSW21-0001 — Multi-building commercial development (medical office building)
This is a Gateway Standards Waiver request for a multi-building medical office / commercial development that would allow all parking to be located in front of the primary buildings, instead of the code-required side or rear placement (Section 10A-600(e)). For developers, this signals flexibility on parking layout within the Gateway Overlay District and General Retail zoning, which could be relevant precedent for similar site designs along the F.M. 423 corridor.
PP20-0004 — Camey Place single-family development (PD-28)
This is an engineering design variance request for "Camey Place" (PD-28) to reduce the minimum distance from a driveway to an intersection under Table II-7-C of the Engineering Design Manual. Because it addresses site access/driveway placement rather than a rezoning or use change, it matters mainly to developers of this specific single-family site or those tracking access constraints at this corner. The related rezoning to PD-28 is a separate agenda item (220-0001).
Z20-0002 — rezoning
This is a request to rezone a small (0.859-acre) parcel from its temporary post-annexation Agricultural (A) classification to a permanent Single-Family (SF-1) district. The scale suggests a single residential lot rather than a large development opportunity, so it is likely of limited interest to commercial developers. The P&Z Commission will make a recommendation to City Council.
08-1772 — arts and crafts fair, farmers market, unified premises signage
This Planned Development amendment adds new permitted uses (arts and crafts fair and farmers market) and establishes unified premises signage standards allowing multiple individually-owned lots to share site signage. The modifications affect permitted land use categories, development standards, and signage regulations for the development.
PDA20-0002 — rezoning
This case rezones two lots (Lot 1R, Block 16 and Lot 54R, Block 7) in the Garza-Little Elm Lake Estates from PD-1 to the existing PD-26 district to make them consistent with PD-26 (Ordinance No. 2013-2018). Despite the "PD Amendment" label, this is a rezoning to a different Planned Development district, so any developer with interests in these common-area lots should confirm what uses and standards PD-26 permits. Staff recommendation is not stated in this agenda text.
PDA19-0002 — Off-premises/billboard signage
This case seeks to amend the Planned Development-16 District to allow and establish development standards for off-premises billboard signage at a shopping center location on SH 121. The amendment would affect the Village at 121 shopping center and involve coordination with the existing Gateway Overlay District requirements. This is relevant if you have billboard advertising interests or other development plans at this location.
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.
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.
SI19-0003 — other
This case involves a proposed waiver to Gateway Standards and amendments to the Specific Use Permit procedures within the Gateway Overlay District regulations. The outcome may affect how future development projects in the Gateway area are reviewed and what design standards apply. Developers proposing projects in the Gateway Overlay District should monitor this recommendation to City Council.
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.
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.
SP18-0002 — 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.
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.
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.
SI17-0002 — other
This item is a set of citywide Zoning Ordinance text amendments covering donation box materials, accessory structure location requirements, exterior building materials under the Gateway Overlay, portable on-demand storage containers, and cleanup of miscellaneous inconsistencies/clerical errors. It is not a site-specific case, but developers building in the Gateway Overlay or using accessory structures should note the changing material and location standards. No specific property or entitlement is affected.
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.
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.
SP17-0001 — Addition to the 2nd office building
This is a site plan amendment to allow an addition to the second office building at 3716 Standridge Drive, part of the Centre at The Colony, within the Business Park (BP) zoning district. The addition was already anticipated in the original site plan approval, so this is a routine build-out rather than a new or changed use. Likely of limited interest to developers unless they have specific interests in this office park.
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.
PDA18-0001 — pd_amendment
This case involves an amendment to the Austin Ranch Planned Development (PD 22) to address an electric substation. The Planning and Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
SI19-0002 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case involves proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance regarding vehicle parking, parking lot design, and on-site traffic regulations for non-residential and multi-family developments. The amendments could affect parking requirements and traffic circulation standards that apply to commercial and multi-family projects in The Colony.
10-1370 — Tattoo parlor
Case 10-1370 involves a proposed tattoo parlor at 4181 Main Street, Suite 800 within the PD-14 zoning district and Gateway Overlay District. The case addresses restrictions prohibiting tattoo parlors within 1,000 feet of public, denominational, and charter schools. Developers should determine whether this location complies with setback requirements and whether the existing PD-14 restrictions affect the feasibility of this use.
SI19-0008 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case involves an amendment to The Colony's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance regarding pet stores as a permitted land use. The proposed ordinance text amendment could affect where pet stores are allowed to operate throughout the city by modifying the Use of Land and Buildings regulations.
SUP21-0002 — Thrift store with outdoor donation area (Grace Bridge Resale)
A Specific Use Permit (SUP21-0002) is being considered for Grace Bridge Resale, a thrift store with an outdoor donation area in The Colony. The application includes a request for relief in accordance with zoning code provisions, indicating potential setback, use intensity, or operational variances from standard zoning requirements. Developers should monitor this case if they operate retail or charitable uses in The Colony's zoning districts.
PDA22-0002 — pd_amendment
This case involves an amendment to the PD-16 Planned Development ordinance regarding billboard height requirements. The Planning & Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve modifications to the existing PD-16 terms.
PDA22-0003 — pd_amendment
This case involves a proposed amendment to the PD-16 Planned Development ordinance to reduce parking requirements. If your project is located within or affected by PD-16, changes to parking standards could impact your development feasibility and costs.
SP22-0004 — Auto repair garage (inside)
This is a site plan review for a 4,062 square-foot auto repair facility in the GR (General Retail) zoning district near a gateway location. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve the site plan application.
PDA23-0002 — pd_amendment
This case involves amendments to the development standards for Planned Development 21 (PD-21) District governing the Hidden Cove Marina and Park. The Planning & Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve modifications to the existing PD ordinance.
SPA23-0004 — Site plan amendment for 147 single-family attached townhome units with elevations and detached pergolas in front yards
This case involves a site plan amendment for the Chelsea Green at The Tribute project, a 147-unit townhome development within the existing Tribute PD. The amendment seeks approval for unit elevations and front-yard pergolas, which may affect the visual character and architectural consistency of the development. Developers should monitor this if they have interests in or adjacent to The Tribute community, as it sets precedent for design modifications within the PD.
SP23-0005 — Retail building (approximately 3,382 square feet)
This site plan application proposes a 3,382 square-foot retail building on a 0.44-acre lot at 7447 Main Street, which is already zoned General Retail and located within the Gateway Overlay District. The Planning & Zoning Commission will make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve this retail development.
PDA23-0003 — Indoor/Outdoor Amusement Facility
This case involves amendments to an existing Planned Development 16 ordinance to allow an indoor/outdoor amusement facility. The Planning & Zoning Commission is conducting a public hearing and will make a recommendation to City Council on whether to approve the PD-16 modifications.
24-0003 — Mixed commercial development
This case proposes rezoning 6.5 acres from Business Park to a new Planned Development district to enable mixed commercial development at a prominent intersection in The Colony. The project will establish new development standards and a conceptual layout for the site. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in the Standridge Drive and Memorial Drive corridor or in mixed-use commercial projects in The Colony.
10-300 — other
This case involves amendments to zoning code definitions for "smoking lounge" and "smoking room" uses. Developers proposing uses related to smoking facilities should monitor how these definitions are clarified, as they may affect allowable uses and permitting requirements in various zoning districts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
