Public Hearing: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Lewisville City Council, Amending the Zoning Ordinance by Rezoning Approximately 1.00 Acre of Land, Legally Described as The Corral, Lot 1, Block 1; Located at 195 West Corporate Drive; From Public Use (PU) District Zoning to General Business (GB) District Zoning; Correcting the Official Zoning Map; Preserving all Other Portions of the Zoning Ordinance; Determining That the Zoning Amendment Herein Made Promotes the Health, Safety, and General Welfare of the City; Providing for a Savings Clause, Repealer, Severability, a Penalty, and an Effective Date, as Requested by Merriman Anderson Architects, the Applicant, on Behalf of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County Inc., the Property Owner (Case No. 25-12-11-Z).

The subject property was previously owned by the City and was historically used as a fire station and as a police facility for the past seven years. This facility was no longer needed with the opening of the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center and was transferred to the Boys & Girls Club in September 2025 to develop a club to serve the children of our community. The Boys & Girls Club is looking to use this site for after-school and youth programs for children and young adults ages 6 to 18. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous (7-0) approval on January 6, 2026. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above. Available for Questions: Richard E. Luedke, AICP, Planning Director.

Public Hearing: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Lewisville City Council, Amending the Zoning Ordinance by Granting a Special Use Permit for a Warehouse Distribution Facility and Manufacturing, Light Intensity on Approximately 8.086 Acres out of the E. Aday Survey, Abstract Number 11, Located at 421, 451, 475, and 493 Bennett Lane, and Zoned Light Industrial (LI) District; Providing for a Savings Clause, Repealer, Severability, Penalty, and an Effective Date; as Requested by Lindsey Mayer, Dynamic Engineering Consultants, PC on Behalf of LI Bennett 35 TX Owner LLC, NCI Unlimited Inc, and Teresa Rather LLC, the Property Owners (Case No. 25-10-14-SUP).

A special use permit (SUP) is required for warehouse distribution facilities and light intensity manufacturing due to their proximity to less intense uses nearby. An SUP was previously approved for this site on September 8, 2025; however, the developer has expanded the project to include two additional properties east of the original site. Consequently, a new SUP is needed to cover the expanded project. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (7-0) on December 16, 2025. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above. Available for Questions: Richard E. Luedke, AICP, Planning Director.

The owner purchased the property located at 421 South Cowan Avenue and the property to the west in 2023. The applicant is proposing to develop the two properties as a 13-unit townhome community. A Letter of Design Approval from the Old Town Development Review Committee was granted in November 2024 for the exterior elevations and site layout.

On January 5, 2026, the City Council continued this public hearing to the January 26, 2026, City Council meeting, which was cancelled due to inclement weather, to give the applicant an opportunity to be present to address City Council concerns. Subsequently, the applicant has requested that the public hearing be continued to the March 16, 2026, City Council meeting to provide additional time to prepare and submit an economic incentive application related to a revised townhouse layout on the property. Staff readvertised the public hearing to appear on this City Council agenda since the meeting that the original public hearing was continued to was cancelled.

Approval of an Engineering Services Agreement with CDM Smith Inc. for the Mill Street Sanitary Sewer Pipe Upsize Project in an Amount Not to Exceed $539,360; and Authorization for the City Manager, or Her Designee, to Execute the Agreement.

The Mill Street sanitary sewer main has experienced increased flows due to upstream development, creating the potential for surcharging and sanitary sewer overflows during peak wet-weather events. The City's Wastewater Collection System Master Plan identified this segment as a priority for capacity improvements. The proposed project includes upsizing approximately 6,500 linear feet of existing sewer main to a 15-inch diameter pipe to improve system reliability and accommodate future growth. CDM Smith Inc. will provide professional engineering services for surveying, geotechnical investigations, easement preparation, design, permitting coordination, and bidding support. The total cost for design and bidding services is $539,360. Funding for this work is available in the Mill Street Sanitary Sewer Upsize capital project. Completion of the design will allow the City to move forward with construction in a timely manner and reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the agreement as set forth in the caption above.

Titanium Housing Partners, through its proposed entity, TX Fox 2026, Ltd., is requesting City support of their application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Competitive 9% Housing Tax Credits. These tax credits provide the financial mechanism that would allow for future construction of a mixed-income veteran-focused development at the Southwest corner of Fox Avenue and Edmonds Lane, Lewisville, Texas. This resolution only provides the City's support of their tax credit application, which increases Titanium Housing Partners' likelihood of receiving the tax credit.
