Keller Commission to Discuss Key Development Hearings Dec 9

URGENT UPDATE: The City of Keller is set to hold critical public hearings on December 9, 2024, at 7 p.m. at Keller Town Hall, focusing on significant urban development issues that could reshape the community. The Planning & Zoning Commission will address a key extension request from Frost Bank and a residential conversion proposal that could have immediate implications for local homeowners.

First on the agenda is a request from Frost Bank for a two-year extension on their Specific Use Permit, originally approved on December 3, 2024. This extension is essential for the bank as it seeks to overcome obstacles in securing a building permit for its site located at 1231 Keller Parkway, which spans just over an acre. Residents should note that this request could impact the financial landscape of the area and is a vital step for the bank’s future operations.

Additionally, the commission will discuss a proposal by homeowner Douglas Stamps, who seeks permission to temporarily convert his 2,101-square-foot residence into an accessory dwelling. This change is necessary while a new main residence is constructed on his expansive 2.83-acre lot. The outcome of this proposal could set a precedent for similar future requests and affect neighborhood dynamics.

These discussions are pivotal for local residents and stakeholders interested in the future of Keller. The hearings will take place in the Council Chambers at Keller Town Hall, located at 1100 Bear Creek Parkway. Community members are encouraged to attend and voice their opinions on these important issues that directly affect their lives and the development of the area.

As the date approaches, the complete agenda will be made available online by December 4, allowing residents to prepare for this crucial meeting. This is an opportunity for community involvement in decisions that could reshape urban development in Keller.
