GC26-008 — rezoning
This case involves rezoning approximately 138 acres from single-family residential (SF-6) to industrial use at 2861 Weatherford Highway. A developer considering industrial opportunities in Cleburne should monitor this rezoning request to understand how the city is transitioning land use patterns and available industrial capacity in this location.
OR08-2022 — Speculative warehouse and distribution facility
A 138.311-acre tract along the Weatherford Highway corridor is proposed to be rezoned from SF-6 single-family residential to I Industrial to accommodate a speculative warehouse and distribution facility. The area is designated Industrial on the Future Land Use Map and adjoins existing industrial and commercial uses, making this a large development-ready land opportunity for industrial developers. Building size is not yet finalized and will depend on parking, site constraints, and applicable development standards.
OR07-2026 — rezoning
This case involves rezoning approximately 138 acres from single-family residential (SF-6) to industrial district at 2861 Weatherford Highway. The rezoning would enable industrial development on what is currently designated residential land in Cleburne. Developers should monitor this case if they have commercial or industrial interests in this Weatherford Highway corridor.
ZC26-011 — rezoning
This case proposes rezoning approximately 10 acres from Industrial (I) to Commercial/Industrial Flex (CI) district along North Main Street in Cleburne. The rezoning would allow more flexible use of the industrial property for potential mixed commercial-industrial purposes. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in commercial or industrial real estate in this North Main Street corridor.
12-2026 — Contractor's shop and associated storage yard (trailer and truck storage)
A local contractor (W5 Construction) is seeking a Specific Use Permit to operate a contractor's shop and storage yard on an RC (Regional Commercial) zoned property, storing seven trailers and one company truck with office-based operations Monday–Friday 8am–5pm. The request also includes new privacy fencing with evergreen screening and a variance to install rock in the fenced storage area for drainage. Relevant only to developers interested in small-scale commercial/contractor storage uses in this RC corridor; no retail, heavy industrial, or increased traffic is anticipated.
ZC26-007 — Manufactured Home
This case involves a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a manufactured home on a 0.2-acre parcel in the Single-Family Dwelling District (SF-7) at 1413 Smoothe Stone Drive. The permit would allow a use that may not otherwise be permitted in this zoning district. Developers should monitor whether approval of this case establishes precedent for manufactured housing in residential zones.
ZC26-006 — rezoning
A small ±0.25-acre parcel at 1103 Williams Avenue is proposed to be rezoned from single-family (SF-7) to duplex (D) zoning, which would allow two-unit residential development on the lot. Developers interested in small infill duplex projects in this area should note the district change, though the parcel size limits scale. This is an early public-hearing stage item with no staff recommendation stated in the text.
ZC26-005 — Contractor's shop or storage yard
This case seeks a specific use permit to operate a contractor's shop or storage yard on a 1.4-acre Regional Commercial property in Cleburne. The project requires special permitting because this use may not be allowed by-right in the RC district. Developers should monitor if this permit affects nearby commercial zoning policies or sets precedent for similar industrial support uses in commercial areas.
OR07-2025 — 1,344-square-foot manufactured home (single-family residential)
The applicant is seeking a revised Specific Use Permit to place a 1,344-square-foot manufactured home (approx. 48' x 28') on an SF-7 zoned lot within an existing manufactured home subdivision, including a request to reduce the minimum required living area by six square feet (1,350 SF required). This is a minor single-lot residential SUP with no fiscal impact and no formal support or opposition from the 27 notified neighbors, so it is unlikely to affect broader commercial development in the area. Relevant only to developers interested in this specific manufactured-home subdivision.
PC26-001 — plat
This is a final plat approval for the Bates Ridge Subdivision with coordination completed with TxDOT regarding entry points. The Commission approved the plat with the condition that easement filing information be added prior to recording with the Johnson County Clerk's Office.
OR07-2022 — plat
This is a final plat for Bates Ridge Addition Phase 1, subdividing 33.243 acres into 121 residential lots and 9 open space lots, with 8.183 acres dedicated to right-of-way. The plat includes 69 fifty-foot lots and 52 sixty-foot lots, indicating a single-family residential development by Brightland Homes. Relevant to developers tracking new residential subdivision activity and lot supply in the Cleburne market.
OR05-2014 — plat
This is a replat case creating Torres Estates No. 1, a subdivision of approximately 2.48 acres in Cleburne, Johnson County. The plat consolidates and subdivides multiple existing lots from A.M. Morgan's Third Addition and other additions, creating new lot configurations (Lots 1R-5R in Block 2 and Lots 14R-16R in Block 3). Developers should review the lot sizes, dedication of public streets and rights-of-way, and utility easements shown on the plat for their impact on development potential.
PC25-051 — Single-family residential (8 lots)
This is a replat of Torres Estates No. 1 that reconfigures 10 existing single-family residential lots into 8 lots, with no zoning change required. The property already complies with SF-7 development standards and has adequate public infrastructure (water, sewer, drainage), presenting a straightforward subdivision approval on April 13, 2026, subject to the condition that easement filing information be added to the plat prior to recordation.
OR04-2026 — other
This is a zoning text amendment (not a site-specific rezoning) that will require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for any gasoline or diesel passenger vehicle filling/service station on property more than 300 feet west of Nolan River Road within the Henderson Street (HS) Overlay. Developers planning fuel/service stations along this stretch of the Henderson Street corridor would face an added case-by-case SUP review addressing access, circulation, and traffic. It does not affect other uses or the broader HS overlay area outside the affected zone.
OR05-2014-47 — plat
This is a replat consolidating Lots 1-6, Block 2 and Lots 13-16, Block 3 of A.M. Morgan's Third Addition (plus a closed 30' Pine Street right-of-way) into Torres Estates No. 1, creating eight residential lots (Lots 1R-5R, Block 2 and Lots 14R-16R, Block 3) on a 2.480-acre tract. Lots range from roughly 0.286 to 0.473 acres, indicating a small infill single-family subdivision. Likely only relevant to developers focused on small-scale residential lot creation in this Cleburne neighborhood.
PC25-050 — 169 single-family residential lots and one open space lot
This case involves final plat approval for Frontier Phase 3B, a 39.63-acre residential subdivision with 169 single-family lots in Cleburne's ETJ. The Commission recommended approval with the condition that easement filing information be added to the plat prior to recordation. Developers should note this project represents a significant residential development in the area.
PC26-008 — Commercial and industrial development
A ±62.79-acre tract near Chisholm Trail Parkway is proposed to be rezoned from Agricultural (A) to a Planned Development (PD) District for commercial and industrial development (or alternatively assigned permanent Agricultural zoning). For developers, this represents a sizable parcel that could open up for commercial/industrial use in a growth corridor. The dual-request framing means the outcome could either enable large-scale development or lock the land into agricultural use.
ZC25-023 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case proposes amending the Henderson Street Overlay zoning standards to require a Specific Use Permit for gasoline or diesel passenger vehicle filling or service stations in a designated area. Developers seeking to establish fuel service stations west of Nolan River Road within the HS overlay will need to obtain SUP approval rather than operating by-right. This is a regulatory change that could impact fuel service station development feasibility in this corridor.
50-5005 — plat
This is a final plat approval for Frontier Phase 3A, a residential subdivision with 16 single-family lots and 6 open space lots on approximately 15 acres in Cleburne's ETJ. The project is part of the Wright Farms Municipal Management District development approved in 2022 and includes required stormwater detention and utility extensions. Approval requires standard conditions, including county filing information for off-site easements prior to recordation.
RS03-2022-43 — plat
This is a revised preliminary plat for a 1,600-lot residential development in Cleburne's extraterritorial limits with phased construction across six phases. The plat shows conformance with density requirements (Type A lots at 35%, Type B and C lots totaling 45%) and specifies lot sizes, road standards, and open space maintenance via HOA. Key infrastructure includes typical 50' residential roads with 29' back-to-back spacing, internal collector roads at 60' ROW with 36' back-to-back, and floodplain dedication as drainage easement.
PC25-003 — plat
This is a revised preliminary plat for a multi-phase residential development (Phases 4A, 4B, and 5A) totaling approximately 551.5 acres. The project includes single-family residential units of varying sizes, multi-family residential, and other uses, with the original plat having been previously approved. Developers should track this revision to understand any modifications to the approved development plan.
08-322 — 1,600 single family lots
This is a revised preliminary plat for the Frontier (Wright Farms) development, a large 551.5-acre master-planned subdivision proposing 1,600 single-family lots across multiple phases. For developers, this signals a major new residential build-out in Cleburne with several phases already recorded or approved (Phases 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B), representing significant near-term housing supply and infrastructure activity in the area. Note that a portion of the site is affected by 100-year floodplain.
PLATPC-22-046 — Single family residential (1,600 single family lots)
This is a final plat for a large single-family residential subdivision (Wright Farms/Frontier) with 1,600 lots, located near CR 904 and the Chisholm Trail Pkwy/Weatherford Pkwy area of Cleburne. Developers watching residential supply, competing rooftops, or land opportunities in this corridor should note the scale of this project. The plat is owned by TCCI Wright Land, LLC.
RS03-2022 — Single-family residential subdivision (up to 1,600 lots, phased)
This is a revised preliminary plat for a large phased single-family residential subdivision of up to 1,600 lots in Cleburne's ETJ, with lot mixes governed by a development agreement (roughly 40'x120', 50'x120', and 60'x120' lots across six phases). Development standards include city-standard 50' ROW residential roads, 60' ROW internal collectors, HOA-maintained open space, and floodplain dedicated as drainage easement. Developers eyeing residential land in this area should note the scale, phasing, and density caps tied to the development agreement.
PC25-053 — Single-family residential development with 16 lots and 6 open space lots
This case involves final plat approval for Frontier Phase 3A, a 15-acre single-family residential subdivision with 16 residential lots and 6 open space lots in Cleburne's extraterritorial jurisdiction. The development is being presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission for consideration at the March 23, 2026 meeting. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in residential development in Cleburne's ETJ or are concerned about land use patterns in this area.
02-4216 — Expansion of an existing self-storage development: one 5,825 SF (5,700 SF gross per site plan) office building, one 4,000 SF exterior self-storage building, and one 20,925 SF self-storage building, with associated parking and detention
Application for a Specific Use Permit to allow self-storage on a 3.29-acre CI (Commercial/Industrial Flex District) site at 3233 N. Main Street, expanding an existing self-storage facility with a new ~5,700 SF office building and two self-storage buildings (4,000 SF and 20,925 SF). The applicant is also seeking variances from the 15' landscape edge requirement (Sec. 4.01.C.1.b) and from building material/window/design standards (Sec. 155.4.05A), citing existing site constraints and storage-building functionality. Relevant to developers evaluating self-storage or similar CI infill projects in Cleburne, where SUP approval and design/landscape relief are the key entitlement hurdles.
GC26-003 — other
This case involves an amendment to the City's zoning ordinance regarding Certificate of Occupancy requirements for personal service shops. The request modifies Title XV, Chapter 155 of the City Code, specifically the Use Chart and Conditional Development Standards sections. Developers offering personal service shops should monitor this case to understand any new regulatory requirements that may apply to their projects.
ZC25-034 — other
This case proposes amendments to Cleburne's zoning ordinance regarding Certificate of Occupancy requirements for personal service shops. The revisions would modify the Use Chart and Conditional Development Standards sections of the zoning code. Developers should monitor this case if they operate or plan personal service shops in Cleburne.
ZC26-001 — Self-storage facility
A developer is requesting a specific use permit for a self-storage facility on approximately 3.29 acres in the CI district at 3233 N. Main Street in Cleburne. This case will establish whether self-storage is permitted as a conditional use in the Commercial/Industrial Flex district and what conditions may apply.
23-2026 — Prohibition of game rooms as a defined land use
The City proposes to amend its zoning ordinance to define "Game Room" as a prohibited use in all zoning districts, clarifying recent restrictions on amusement redemption machines and gambling devices. Developers should be aware that game room operations will not be permitted anywhere in Cleburne regardless of zoning district.
OR01-2026 — Prohibition of Game Rooms (amusement redemption machines / gambling devices) in all zoning districts
This is a citywide text amendment to the Zoning Code (Chapter 155) adding Section 155.16 and updating the Use Chart to clarify that Game Rooms—defined as any building or place with amusement redemption machines or gambling devices—are not permitted in any zoning district. It aligns the Zoning Ordinance with an existing citywide prohibition (Ordinance OR01-2026-04). Developers should note that game rooms and gambling-device uses are prohibited everywhere in the city, though machines for children or those awarding non-cash merchandise prizes (e.g., claw/crane machines) are excepted.
15-2025 — Banquet Hall Event Center
This appears to be a site plan submittal for a Banquet Hall Event Center on a 7.3-acre RC (Regional Commercial) parcel at 1505 E Henderson, with low building coverage (2.2%) and building height under 35 feet. No rezoning is requested, so the use is proceeding within existing RC zoning. Note that the septic system condition is unknown and to be determined later, which could affect development timing and cost for a prospective buyer or developer.
21-2025 — Banquet Hall Event Center (Assembly Group A-3), 1,990 sf banquet room; no commercial kitchen
This is a site plan for a new parking lot serving a proposed banquet hall / event center (Assembly Group A-3) on a 7.3-acre site in Cleburne. The plan provides 54 total parking spaces (49 standard plus 5 accessible), exceeding the 45 required, and notes there will be no commercial kitchen. It is an administrative site plan rather than a rezoning, so it matters mainly to developers interested in event-venue or nearby commercial uses rather than a change in zoning entitlements.
GC26-001 — Prohibition of game rooms in all zoning districts
This is a citywide text amendment to Cleburne's zoning code (Chapter 155) that would add a new "Game Room" definition (Section 155.16) and amend the Use Chart (Section 155.3.03) to prohibit game rooms in all zoning districts. Developers or investors considering game room / arcade-style uses anywhere in Cleburne should note this would eliminate that use entirely. It does not affect a specific parcel and has no impact on other commercial or industrial uses.
OR03-2026 — other
This ordinance amends Cleburne's zoning code to prohibit game rooms operating amusement redemption machines (eight-liners) and gambling devices in all zoning districts throughout the city. The city determined these operations cause adverse effects including increased crime, urban blight, and property value degradation in surrounding areas. Any developer or property owner considering a game room use in Cleburne would be unable to obtain zoning approval under this amendment.
ZC25-037 — other
The City of Cleburne is considering amendments to its zoning ordinance to add a definition for "game rooms" and prohibit them in all zoning districts. This administrative change will restrict the use of game rooms citywide, which may affect any development projects or existing uses involving game room operations.
PC25-048 — plat
This case involves a minor replat and variance for a multifamily development project. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with a 7-0 vote. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in multifamily zoning or replat standards in Cleburne.
ZC25-036 — manufactured home
A Specific Use Permit for a manufactured home was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on a 7-0 vote. The applicant had already placed the home on the property without required approvals, but Commission approval allows the project to proceed with all required permits and inspections. Denial would have required removal of the home from the property.
ZC25-019 — pd_amendment
This case involves a Planned Development amendment request for a storage yard facility with landscape buffering and masonry screening along Chisholm Trail Parkway. The Commission recommended approval with modifications requiring an 8-foot screening wall and tree plantings along the entire exterior of the wall to minimize visibility from the adjacent tollway. Developers should note that visibility from elevated highways requires robust screening solutions and comprehensive landscaping plans.
PC25-046 — Multifamily
This is a minor replat of a 2.77-acre multifamily lot at 1108 North Anglin Street with an approved variance to replatting standards. The applicant expressed concerns about potential future right-of-way dedication requirements that could impact parking and signage if North Nolan River Road is expanded.
ZC25-035 — Tobacco, Vapor, E-Cigarette Store
This is a specific use permit request for a tobacco, vapor, and e-cigarette retail store on approximately 0.57 acres at 2201 North Main Street in the CI district with Freeway overlay. The case requires P&Z approval and will be heard at the January 26, 2026 meeting.
ZC25-038 — Tobacco, Vapor, E-Cigarette Store
A specific use permit is being requested to operate a tobacco, vapor, and e-cigarette store on a 0.57-acre site zoned CI with Freeway overlay. This case is relevant to developers interested in retail commercial uses on North Main Street.
OR12-2023 — pd_amendment
This case involves revising development standards for an existing Planned Development and expanding its boundaries to incorporate approximately 11.9 acres currently zoned Industrial. The total PD will cover approximately 27.2 acres at the Sparks Drive location. Developers should review the proposed development standards changes to determine compatibility with their projects in this area.
ZC25-029 — Concrete products production facility with product storage
Applicant Brad Werth and Keynan Williams propose a concrete products production facility with product storage on vacant and existing gravel lots, with the warehouse containing production, office, and restroom areas. The facility would produce approximately 75 cubic yards of concrete per day with less than 10 truck deliveries daily, but the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial due to concerns about required roadway infrastructure upgrades to support industrial development in this location.
OR09-2025-31 — Detached garage on 1708 Shawnee Drive parcel following replat
This is a minor replat combining two parcels in the RC (Regional Commercial) district. The applicant is requesting a variance from required right-of-way dedication along N. Nolan River Road to avoid losing parking area at an existing commercial parking lot. City staff does not support the variance but recommends a joint ROW use agreement as an alternative.
GC25-015 — other
This case involves a minor replat combining two existing lots (one residential-zoned and one commercial-zoned) into a single commercial lot with double frontage on Nolan River Road and Shawnee Drive. A variance to right-of-way dedication requirements for a minor arterial roadway is also being requested as part of the replat. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 7-0 vote, with City Council consideration scheduled for January 27, 2026.
GC25-014 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case involves an amendment to Cleburne's comprehensive plan "Plan Cleburne" to update the Future Land Use Map in Chapter Three. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the amendment by a unanimous 7-0 vote, which may affect future development patterns and land use designations in the city.
ZC25-031 — rezoning
This is a city-initiated rezoning of multiple properties throughout Cleburne as part of a zoning realignment project. The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval (7-0 vote). Developers should monitor this case as it may affect zoning designations for properties across the city.
PC25-041 — plat
This case involves a minor replat creating Lot 1R-1, with a portion of the proposed lot located within the 500-year floodplain, though the existing home would not be affected by current floodplain regulations. The proposed vacant lot is not within the floodplain. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the minor replat with variance request.
16-2019 — Commercial/Industrial - Outdoor Precast Concrete Product Storage and Batch Plant Operations
This case involves a site plan review for Monomoy Industrial Portfolio's concrete products manufacturing facility on Lot 2, Block 1 of Doud Land Co. Addition. The property includes batch plant operations, product storage, office space, and associated infrastructure on an industrial-zoned parcel.
12-0561 — plat
This is a plat case for the Monomoy Industrial Portfolio property involving survey documentation and property line control monuments. The project includes a 14-unit building area with 48 total parking spaces (46 standard and 2 handicap accessible) on approximately 13 acres. No encroachments were observed at the time of the survey.
OR04-2023 — Oncor Electric Delivery service and training center: ~14,000-sf office building, fueling station, covered parking, extensive outside storage of equipment/materials/vehicles, and outdoor training facility with 40-60 ft utility poles
This request rezones/expands the Cleburne Business Park PD by adding ~11.9 acres of Industrial-zoned land to the south (total ~27.2 acres) and revising the approved site plan to replace a planned cabinet shop with an Oncor Electric service and training center featuring a 14,000-sf office, fueling station, and large outdoor storage/training yard with 40-60 ft utility poles. A key point for developers is the requested deviation to allow outside storage and heavy-vehicle parking within the Freeway (F) Overlay District along the highly visible Chisholm Trail Parkway, requiring masonry screening. Approval also triggers a required replat, easement/encroachment resolution for a Texas Midstream gas pipeline, and detention relocation before permits issue.
OR09-2025 — Combine two lots and construct a detached garage on the property at 1708 Shawnee Drive
This is a minor replat combining two lots (0.624 acres) at 1708 Shawnee Drive and 501 N. Nolan River Road into a single RC-zoned commercial lot, with the applicant seeking a variance from the required additional right-of-way dedication along N. Nolan River Road (a minor arterial requiring 105 ft ROW). Staff does NOT support the ROW variance and instead recommends a joint ROW use agreement, which would allow interim continued use of the existing parking lot but preserve the City's ability to expand the roadway in the future. Developers should note the unresolved ROW dedication issue, as future roadway improvements could eliminate more than half of the site's parking and materially impair commercial use.
ZC25-032 — rezoning
This is a multi-property "Zoning Realignment Project" rezoning affecting numerous parcels across Cleburne, with examples including rezoning from Regional Commercial (RC) to Single-Family Dwelling (SF-7) and from High-Density Residential (MF-2) to Duplex (D). Existing uses would become legal nonconforming and could continue, but could not be rebuilt if destroyed under the new district, which matters for owners of commercial or higher-density properties being downzoned. The Commission recommended approval but carved out 17 properties (listed with parcel IDs) to retain their existing zoning, so developers should verify whether a target parcel is included or excluded.
ZC25-026 — rezoning
This was a city-initiated request to rezone all Interim Holding (IH) District properties to permanent zoning classifications, but the applicant withdrew the case and no action was taken. Developers holding or eyeing IH-zoned parcels should note that the anticipated permanent-zoning realignment did not proceed at this meeting, so the interim status of those properties remains unchanged for now.
OR12-2023-85 — pd_amendment
This case seeks to amend an existing Planned Development to revise its development standards and expand the PD boundary by approximately 11.9 acres of currently zoned Industrial District land, bringing the total PD size to 27.2 acres. The expansion and standards revision could affect industrial land availability and development patterns on Sparks Drive in Cleburne.
