Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5 February 3, 2026 There being no further persons to be heard, Chairman Stark closed the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Commissioner Flannery asked for clarification, regarding drainage and topography concerns for neighboring residents. Mr. Nashed explained that the drainage patterns are shown on the concept plan and that all water will drain to the proposed streets and then to N. Industrial Boulevard, connecting to the street drainage system. Commissioner Brown requested confirmation regarding the home elevations. Mr. Nashed responded that elevations will vary to accommodate buyers, as these will be custom homes expected to start at $600,000. Vice Chair Portugal expressed concerns regarding Lots 13 through 19, noting that two-story homes on these lots would face existing neighboring homes and could impact privacy. She suggested the potential use of opaque windows on the second stories. Mr. Nashed responded that the 15-foot tree preservation easement of existing trees would help maintain privacy and that window treatments could be considered as an additional measure. Commissioner Mennis, a longtime Euless resident, commented that he is pleased to see homes being developed in this area, noting that the land has been overlooked due to elevation changes. He added that, since staff is recommending approval; it shows that the developers have addressed all necessary requirements, and he wished them the best with the project. Commissioner Prater recommended providing renderings for the City Council meeting, noting that visuals would be helpful. She also inquired about the construction timeline and its potential impact on the surrounding area. Mr. Nashed responded that construction of the first house would begin approximately 12 months from now, after approval of all plans and the completion of the proposed infrastructure. Chairman Stark expressed concern regarding the proposed wood fence along the existing residential properties and asked if the new fence would stand next to existing fences or if it would replace them. Mr. Nashed responded that newly constructed homes will have new fences standing next to the existing fences. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Mennis made a motion to recommend approval of Case No. 25-03-PD to rezone 5.6 acres from Neighborhood Business (C-1) District to Planned Development (PD) District for the development of single-family homes in James M.
