Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting 6/1/26

The City of Amarillo Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on June 1, 2026, with five of seven members present. The meeting included updates on residential development rezonings moving forward to city council and a discussion on a special use permit (SUP) that is pending further appraisal. A key agenda item was the consideration and public hearing for the vacation of a 20-foot-wide public alley within block 143 of the Plemons Addition. The applicant, who owns the entire block, requested the alley vacation to create a unified site for a parking lot and hotel development. The city and utility companies raised no objections, as the applicant agreed to grant a public utility easement at no cost to maintain existing underground utilities. The commission approved the alley vacation, noting that the easement preserves city access to utilities and does not increase property value. No other procurement or budget-related matters were discussed during the meeting.
