Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting 10/19/2026

The City of Amarillo Planning and Zoning Commission met on October 19, 2026. It approved the October 5 meeting minutes and approved the City View Estates Unit 23 plat (Case 2026-240-P), subject to receipt of corrected originals, approval of revised infrastructure plans, and completion of public improvements or provision of surety in their place. The commission also received an update that six recent rezonings and a public utility easement vacation had advanced to City Council; two councilmembers opposed one item over concerns about expanding alcohol-related uses near residences.

The commission discussed a requested alley waiver and street-connectivity variance for Bellamy Park, a proposed subdivision of approximately 308 single-family homes by Betenbough Homes. Staff supported the alley waiver but recommended denying the variance to connect Moon River Road, citing emergency access, traffic distribution, and service considerations; the developer cited a roughly 30-foot grade change and said a connection could be built if required. The transcript ends during discussion and does not show a decision on these requests. No contract awards, bids, purchases, or public budget allocations were identified; the infrastructure requirements discussed are development conditions rather than city procurement actions.
