Heritage Park Estates: the Oct. 14 rezoning would bring about 68 lots of a 145-acre county subdivision…

The staff report for case ZCH-26-0014 on the Planning & Zoning Commission's Oct. 14 agenda says the applicant, Richard Green, is requesting a zoning amendment for a portion of the Heritage Park Estates development, a proposed single-family residential development at the northeast corner of Causbie Road and Old Airport Road, and that the overall Heritage Park property consists of approximately 145 acres and is currently being developed as a residential subdivision in Parker County. The amendment is associated with the voluntary annexation of a portion of the development into the city: the annexation area includes approximately 68 residential lots, approximately 34 lots ranging from 9,000 to 12,000 square feet and 34 one-acre lots, and the remaining portion, approximately 48 two-acre residential lots, will remain outside the city limits and is not included in the zoning request. The request is for SF 7.5 Single Family zoning with a Planned Unit Development overlay that establishes development standards specific to Heritage Park and incorporates the proposed concept plan. The report says the property has previously been platted through Parker County and that the portion brought into the city would be required to be replatted through the city; that the development will include gated private streets, private drainage facilities and a private trail system owned and maintained by a homeowners' association rather than the city; and that the overlay requires each home to incorporate a minimum of five specified architectural features. Access is proposed primarily from Old Airport Road, with Lockwood Lane serving as gated emergency access only and a future street stub-out proposed for future phases. The zoning amendment is being considered concurrently with the voluntary annexation and a Development Agreement that sets the development standards, public improvement responsibilities and utility provisions for the portion proposed for the city. Surrounding zoning is R1 One Family Residential to the north and AG Agriculture to the west, with the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction to the south and east; the General Plan designation is Suburban Living. Staff recommends approval. The Ledger's report on the Dec. 22, 2025 Commissioners Court minutes records the county's approval of the final plat for Heritage Park Estates, released from the city's ETJ, 145.030 acres with 70 lots, and its acceptance of a special warranty deed for additional right-of-way for the subdivision in Precinct Three.
