Body
Austin Bridge & Road (ABR), LP is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the continued operation of a temporary concrete batch plant located at 3220 East U.S. Highway 80. The batch plant supports the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) IH-635/US 80 Mesquite Highway Improvement Project, which includes reconstruction of the interchange and related roadway improvements. The applicant, the general contractor for the TxDOT’s project, anticipates that construction will be completed by June 2029, necessitating operations beyond the time allowed under a Temporary Use Permit (TUP).
Under the Mesquite Zoning Ordinance, temporary concrete batch plants may operate with a TUP approved by the City Engineer for a limited duration, after which a CUP is required. The applicant acquired the property in February 2025, received TUP approval in March 2025, completed required notifications to nearby property owners, and obtained the necessary Texas Commission on Environmental Quality permit. The batch plant has been operating since April 2025, and no complaints have been received by staff.
On February 9, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve the CUP, subject to certain stipulations.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
