Body
Lawson and Clay Properties, LLC, is requesting a change of zoning and a comprehensive plan amendment to allow for a flex-office development on Tract 1 and a townhome development on Tract 2.
Tract 1 (~3 acres), located east of Clay Mathis Road and Lawson Road, will include three flex-office buildings that may be used for retail, personal services, office, or contractor businesses. Outdoor storage will not be permitted. The flex-office buildings will have overhead doors facing Lawson Road, making them more suitable for contractors and trade businesses. The proposed Planned Development (PD) would allow uses permitted by right in the General Retail zoning district and also permit special trade contractors, such as HVAC technicians, painters, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, flooring installers, and concrete workers, by right.
Tract 2 (~3 acres), located south of Clay Mathis Road and Lawson Road, will consist of 20 front-entry townhouses, each platted individually for fee-simple ownership. Each unit will have a two-car garage and a two-car-wide driveway. Eleven on-street parking spaces will be provided for visitor parking. A Homeowner’s Association (HOA) will be established to maintain the common areas and building exteriors.
On February 24, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 6-1, with Commissioner Walker dissenting, to allow a flex-office development with contractor uses as a permitted use on Tract 1 (east of Clay Mathis Rd and Lawson Rd) and townhome development on Tract 2 (south of Clay Mathis Road and Lawson Road) with the added stipulation that a dog park be provided within the townhome development.
