Planning commission recommends C-3 zoning for 2 Dean Drive and hears why Aledo's traffic standard is stricter than TxDOT's

After a public hearing at which no one spoke, the commission unanimously recommended changing the zoning of 2 Dean Drive, Lots 2R1-2R5 of the Mid Park Business Community, approximately 5.23 acres south of Dean Drive and Bankhead Highway, from interim Agricultural to C-3 Regional Commercial. Grant Fore of the Berkley Group said the property was annexed in June 2025 following a development agreement executed March 18, 2025, to allow connection to city water and sewer, received interim AG zoning automatically, and that the agreement anticipated C-3 zoning. The site contains Magnolia Learning Academy with the rest vacant; neighbors include Aledo ISD administrative and transportation offices to the south and the district's public safety offices and a contractor's office to the west, and the 2018 Future Land Use Map designates the area industrial, which allows regional commercial uses.
