The Week of November 22nd - 26th, 2021 in the City of Waxahachie

 Hello Friends!

    First of all, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! As posted on the City's official Facebook page - City Offices will be closed on Thursday,
November 25 and Friday, November 26, in observance of Thanksgiving Day. For non-emergency needs during this time, please call the Waxahachie Police Department at 469-309-4400. For emergencies, please dial 911. 
 
    So far for this week, we only have the Planning & Zoning Briefing and Meeting on the city's calendar. You can always refer to the city's calendar here: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

---------------------------------------------
6:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Briefing Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.
 
 
This briefing is being held to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular P&Z meeting.  Citizens are welcome to attend this briefing in person.  It is not live-streamed at this time.

7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.


5 - Consider request for a plat of The Fitzgerald, for 184 unit apartment complex just East of 240 Park Place Blvd.  This land was zoned for multi-family use many years ago.  The applicant is meeting the requirements for the plat and therefore the commission must approve the plat.  Staff is also recommending approval.  (If you wish to address the commission regarding this case, you must do so during the public comments portion of the meeting, since this is only a "consider request" on the agenda rather than a public hearing.)  Even though many may not want this complex to come to fruition, it is unfortunately one of those things that we must approve if they meet the requirements.  It should, however, be the last of the apartments built in the area of Park Place and Garden Valley Parkway.

12 & 13 - Public Hearing on a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Starbucks located just South of Butcher Rd. and East of Hwy 77.  Staff is recommending approval per comments.

14 & 15 - Public Hearing on a request for a SUP for a Hospital (Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility) located East of the intersection of Indian Drive and Brown Street.  The ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital is a facility that will provide care for patients recovering from stroke, heart attack, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedic conditions, cancer and pulmonary conditions.  Staff is recommending approval per comments.

18 & 19 - This Public Hearing has been continued a couple of times, but it will be coming before the commission at this meeting.  It is a request for a Zoning Change from Future Development to Planned Development - General Retail located along Broadhead Road in between Howard Junior High and the Knights of Columbus facility.  For several reasons, staff is recommending denial.

For more details of any of these cases or others not mentioned above, please refer to the agenda packet, linked above.  This meeting is open to the public to attend, but will also be live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
