Keller Planning Commission to Review Bank Extension and Home Conversion

The City of Keller is preparing for significant discussions regarding urban development, with two public hearings scheduled for December 9, 2024. The Planning & Zoning Commission will meet at 7 p.m. at Keller Town Hall to address key matters, including a request from Frost Bank for an extension on their Specific Use Permit and a proposal for the temporary conversion of a residential home into an accessory dwelling.

The first item on the agenda involves a request from Frost Bank for a two-year extension on their Specific Use Permit, which was initially approved on December 3, 2024. This extension is necessary to allow the bank additional time to navigate the requirements needed to obtain a building permit. The site in question, located at 1231 Keller Parkway, encompasses just over an acre and is viewed as a crucial element in the area’s financial landscape.

In addition, the commission will consider a proposal from Douglas Stamps, who is seeking permission to utilize his 2,101-square-foot home as a temporary secondary dwelling. This request comes as Stamps plans to construct a new main residence on his 2.83-acre property. The temporary conversion aims to accommodate living arrangements during the construction phase.

These hearings will take place in the Council Chambers at Keller Town Hall, located at 1100 Bear Creek Parkway. Residents and stakeholders interested in the outcomes are encouraged to attend and engage in the public discourse. The complete agenda for the meeting will be made available online by December 4, 2024, providing further insight into the topics to be discussed.

As Keller continues to grow and evolve, these hearings represent crucial steps in shaping the future of the community. The Planning & Zoning Commission plays an essential role in overseeing developments that influence both the residential and business landscape in the area.
