Midland Council to Hear 20.15-Acre Housing Rezoning Request
Midland City Council is scheduled to hear a request Aug. 11 to change the zoning of a 20.15-acre tract near Arlington Road and Deauville Boulevard for housing development.
The request would move the property from the city’s MF-16 Multiple-Family Dwelling District designation to a Planned Development District. The hearing is set for 10 a.m. at the City Council meeting, according to City of Midland notices and the city’s August calendar.
The tract is generally located at the southwest corner of Arlington Road and Deauville Boulevard in Council District 4. Maverick Engineering submitted the rezoning request.
A request, not an approved project
The item remains pending before the council. The Aug. 11 hearing is the next identified decision point for the requested zoning change; the city notice does not say that the request has been approved.
A Planned Development District is the zoning designation being requested for the site. The stated purpose in the city notice is housing development. Council action would determine whether the tract moves forward under the requested regulatory path.
The existing zoning is MF-16, identified by the city as a Multiple-Family Dwelling District. The request is therefore a change in the zoning framework for the 20.15-acre site, rather than a notice of completed construction.
What the public notice identifies
The city’s zoning and annexation notice identifies the location generally as Arlington Road and Deauville Boulevard, with the tract at the southwest corner of that intersection. It also places the property within Council District 4.
For nearby property owners and residents, the specific tract location and the Aug. 11 hearing date provide the clearest available markers for following the request. The City of Midland calendar confirms that the City Council is scheduled to meet that day at City Hall.
Maverick Engineering is listed as the applicant that submitted the request. The available notice does not identify a separate developer or owner for the proposed housing development.
Key details have not been provided
The city notice does not state how many homes could be built on the tract, the proposed housing density or whether any homes would have an affordability component. It also does not provide a construction schedule.
Those omissions mean the request should not be treated as a final site plan or as confirmation of a particular number or type of homes. The materials provided for the notice also do not say whether the request has a recommendation for approval.
For now, the verified action is limited to the requested zoning change: from MF-16 to a Planned Development District for housing on 20.15 acres. The council’s Aug. 11 hearing will be the next known step in the city process.
Why the hearing matters
The case concerns a sizable tract of land in Midland and a proposed shift in the rules governing how it may be developed. A council decision could set the regulatory course for the housing proposal at the Arlington Road and Deauville Boulevard site.
Until council acts, however, the housing development remains a request. The public notice establishes the tract’s size, location, current zoning and requested designation, but it does not establish a final development plan, a building timeline or the project’s eventual housing count.
