The commission approved a site plan for an Encompass Health rehabilitation facility planned north of North Gateway Boulevard and west of Concord Drive. The proposed building is 43,366 square feet with 166 parking spaces and exterior finishes of stone, brick and EIFS.
A commissioner asked whether this project is the same as Texas Health or a second hospital in the area; staff clarified that the term "hospital" is used loosely in zoning and that this proposal is for a rehabilitation facility for patients rather than an acute-care Texas Health hospital. After the clarification the council voted to approve the site plan by voice vote.
Staff recommended approval and the project will proceed through normal permitting.
