- What: PUD-2157, a rezoning to replace PUD-1712 (approved May 2019) on a hilly Cross Timbers tract near the Kilpatrick Turnpike and I-35 with a single-family neighborhood of about 180 lots.
- Where it stands: recommended for approval to the City Council on 2026-10-08. One neighbor asked for 6,000-square-foot minimum lots.
- Next: City Council hearing in roughly six to eight weeks.
The proposal
- The attorney for the developer, Box, described it as a significant downzone: the existing PUD allows up to 494 apartments in four stories on about 33 acres; the new plan is about 180 single-family lots.
- Terms: minimum lot size 4,725 square feet (the base R1 minimum is 6,000), minimum lot width 45 feet, a 40-foot tree preservation buffer on the north and west edges, a double row landscape buffer on the south, and a central park with playground, basketball, pickleball and benches.
- No technical evaluations were proposed.
Concerns
- One speaker, for a nearby community, asked that lots be 6,000 square feet to match the surrounding area and to protect Cross Timbers tree cover, noting the smaller lots mean heavier coverage.
- Box answered that the 40-foot buffers are unusually large, that the trees could be cleared without a permit today, and that denial leaves the 494-unit entitlement in place.
Commission discussion
- Commissioner Harrison (ward) met with the community and the engineer, pushed for 5,000 square feet, and settled for 4,725 with the added amenities and 45-foot widths. Commissioners said the sloped topography and drainage ordinance make saving interior trees impractical, and that far fewer trees would be lost than under multifamily.
- Harrison moved approval, seconded by Commissioner Powers.
