Weeks/Traulsen Bermont Road mining petition
Description
A plan to convert the 164-acre motocross park into a shell-mining operation feeding a future water-sports lake community — the board voted 3-1 to recommend denial.
Impact summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission denied it on Aug 10, 2026.
Denied for now — the site keeps its current zoning, and the applicant could revise and return; the adjacent 1,032-acre Kelly Family Holdings mine application remains under staff review.
