Granbury Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting: July 13, 2026

The City of Granbury Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 13, 2026, where they addressed several zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change for an 82-acre property on East US Highway 377, shifting from interim holding to heavy commercial zoning to align with commercial use. The commission approved both the plan amendment and zoning change. Another agenda item involved a zoning change and specific use permit (SUP) for a 1.5-acre property near Kia to allow used auto sales and taxidermy operations, which were also approved. A significant portion of the meeting focused on proposed amendments to zoning ordinances concerning data centers and power generation facilities. The commission considered citizen proposals advocating for a 1,000-foot setback and requiring SUPs for these uses, versus staff recommendations for smaller setbacks and site plan reviews. After public testimony expressing concerns about environmental and community impacts, the commission voted to recommend the citizen-proposed ordinance amendments, including the SUP requirement and larger setbacks, for further consideration by the city council. The meeting included discussions on enforcement, environmental protections, and the potential need for decommissioning guarantees for such facilities.
