PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2026
FROM: Matt Cox, Director of Community Development
AGENDA ITEM: Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the Town Council
regarding a proposed ordinance repealing Subsection (C), "Permit Required
and Annual Permit Fee Established," of Section 14.02.252 “Sale of Alcoholic
Beverages,” of Division 5, "Supplementary District Regulations," of Article
14.02, Zoning Ordinance of Chapter 14, "Zoning," of the Code of Ordinances
by repealing provisions related to local alcohol permits and fees in order to
comply with state law.
i. Conduct Public Hearing
ii. Consider Recommendation
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
During the 88th Texas Legislature, the State adopted Senate Bill 1008, which limits the
authority of cities and public health districts to impose local permits and fees on food service
establishments when those establishments are already regulated and permitted by the Texas
Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or another authorized governmental entity. The
legislation also restricts when a city or town may charge local permit fees under the Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Code.
Effective September 1, 2025, municipalities may no longer collect a local Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission (TABC) permit fee from food service establishments, retail food stores,
mobile food units, roadside food vendors, or temporary food service establishments that have
already paid a required operational fee to DSHS or another governmental entity.
To ensure compliance with state law, this ordinance proposes repealing Subsection (c), “Permit
required and annual permit fee established,” of Section 14.02.252 in its entirety. The remaining
subsections of the ordinance would be renumbered accordingly. No other substantive changes
to the Town’s alcohol-related zoning regulations are proposed.
The ordinance is a housekeeping amendment intended solely to bring the Town’s Code of
Ordinances into compliance with current state law and does not expand or alter where
alcoholic beverages may be sold within the Town.
Page 3 of 16
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: Notice of the public hearing was distributed as required
by the Town of Trophy Club Zoning Ordinance and State Law. At the time of agenda packet
publication, staff had not received any letters in support or in opposition.
FISCAL IMPACT: The repeal of the local alcohol permit fee will result in the elimination of a
revenue source previously collected by the Town. Alcohol permit fees are tracked and collected
on a calendar-year basis, rather than the Town’s fiscal year.
In calendar year 2024, the Town collected $4,245 in alcohol permit fee revenue. In calendar
year 2025, the Town collected approximately $2,475 through August 31st. Due to state law, the
Town stopped collecting the fee effective September 1, 2026.
While the loss of this revenue will have a modest impact on the Town’s overall revenues,
adoption of the ordinance is necessary to ensure compliance with Senate Bill 1008 and state
law.
LEGAL REVIEW: Town Attorney, Dean Roggia, has reviewed the ordinance as to form and
legality.

COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2026
FROM: Matt Cox, Director of Community Development
AGENDA ITEM: Case PP-26-001 The Trails (Preliminary Plat)
Discuss and consider a recommendation to the Town Council regarding a
preliminary plat request for an 18-lot single-family residential subdivision,
known as "The Trails", consisting of approximately 7.603 acres of property
generally located north of Macquarie Street and Milson's Point Drive, situated
in the Thomas J. Allen Survey, Abstract No. 7, and JS Kenley Survey, Abstract
No. 1641, City of Trophy Club, Denton County, TX. (Matt Cox, Director of
Community Development)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: The Town of Trophy Club received an application from Foxwood,
LLC, property owner and applicant, requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat for “The Trails,”
an 18-lot single-family residential subdivision on approximately 7.603 acres located north of
Macquarie Street and Milson’s Point Drive.
The proposed Preliminary Plat is located within Planned Development District 27 (PD-27),
which previously included property zoned R-15 Single-Family District, as well as an area
recently annexed into the Town and formerly classified as R-15 Single-Family District. On
December 8, 2025, Town Council approved Ordinance No. 2025-36, amending PD-27 to rezone
a portion of the site and to incorporate the annexed area into PD-27, allowing for development
of the subdivision.
The rezoning to PD-27 accommodates 18 single-family residential lots ranging in size from
approximately 12,500 square feet to 24,700 square feet. The zoning amendment applies to
Neighborhood 7 of PD-27, which currently allows up to 222 Type 3 lots (minimum 8,400 square
feet) and one (1) Type 1 lot (minimum 12,000 square feet).
The Preliminary Plat includes Lot 1X, which will be owned and maintained by the Homeowners’
Association (HOA); Lot 11X, which will accommodate a private lift station with service provided
by Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and will be owned and maintained by the HOA;
and Lot 21X, which will be owned and maintained by the Town of Trophy Club to preserve the
Town's existing linear trail system.
The Preliminary Plat illustrates a layout of low-density single-family residential lots designed in
accordance with PD-27 development standards, including the general configuration of public
and/or private streets and access points, drainage and utility easements, and open space,
drainage, and utility tracts, as applicable. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the
Town’s Future Land Use Plan and is intended to comply with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan,
Page 8 of 16
Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Regulations.
Public infrastructure and services associated with the development include a proposed internal
street layout designed to meet Town standards. Water and sanitary sewer service will be
provided in accordance with Town requirements and through Trophy Club Municipal Utility
District No. 1, drainage facilities are proposed to meet the Town’s engineering design criteria,
and fire protection will be subject to review and approval by the Fire Marshal. All public
improvements will be required to meet Town standards and will be further reviewed during
the Final Plat and construction plan stages.
Staff has reviewed the Preliminary Plat application and finds that the submittal is in general
conformance with the Town of Trophy Club Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance (PD-27),
and Engineering Design Standards, and meets the requirements of the Preliminary Plat
checklist. Any technical comments or conditions identified through staff and consultant review
will be addressed prior to or at the time of Final Plat approval.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this agenda item.
