Planning presenter Jessica Acoles told commissioners Rye Hill Section 3 covers 46.543 acres and would include 115 single-family lots, eight reserves and four blocks. She said lot widths generally range from 40 to 45 feet, with an additional 10 feet for corner lots, and that the section includes two detention ponds and an amenity center reserve.

Staff recommended conditional approval with three required corrections: revise the restricted reserve label in the reserve table on sheet 3 from “Restricted Reserve G” to “Restricted Reserve H”; correct several street and rear-lot dimensions on the preliminary plat (street dimension adjacent to Block 3 Lots 1 and 2 from 131.49 to 131.5; adjacent to Block 2 Lot 12 from 224.37 to 224.38; adjacent to Block 2 Lots 205 and 206 from 58.21 to 58.2; adjacent to Block 3 Lot 9 from 390.96 to 390.95; rear of Block 2 Lot 52 from 125.33 to 125.34; rear of Block 2 Lot 61 from 122.18 to 122.19), and correct lengths in the line table (line 19 from 559.95 to 559.94; lines 18, 20 and 21 from 371.01 to 371.02). Staff cited the Development Application Handbook and Development Code Chapter 5 requirements for those graphic corrections.

A motion to approve the preliminary plat with the staff conditions passed on a voice vote after a second. Acoles noted that preliminary plats are not recorded and that master notes, signature blocks and proposed easements will be included on the final plat submittal.

The commission’s approval allows the developer to move forward to final-plat preparation and engineering review subject to the corrections, which staff must confirm before final approval and recordation.","Planning staff recommended conditional approval of the Rye Hill Section 3 preliminary plat; the commission approved subject to corrections to reserve labeling and several numeric dimension changes staff identified.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6304647,"Planning commission approves DW Sugar Land Entry Reserve preliminary plat for Rye Hill development",220,1504000,1724000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2457198-9a65605b974795bb651091f6646659eb&start=1504&end=1724","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2457198-9a65605b974795bb651091f6646659eb/thumbnail_1504000.jpg","/articles/6304647/Sugar-Land/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-DW-Sugar-Land-Entry-Reserve-preliminary-plat-for-Rye-Hill-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304647-881a40cfb68db25077c429f499fc2ce5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152519&Signature=ZlhBg-ENyQpCp924M7fcS1FWttuLabdQY8Eu-hxA6~z0GUn0XZ43fAfK-v71tm-kdThhbGVOhyMAyydUXd3OFOY~sJQOsvJXxQuUmIgg23j1M3H-JY~6~YciBWFHvlIaVma9rzwXIusZLxRG9MwMIBYQDH-6HlbaEaVz-XwSY32LqgDWlt7N6phkgBJ2Xpm0vmG5S7GO1cvcEP86NtrvvSPuP2N9EGxITOog-rdDkT2PUuhVFg~-VtVZS2X7RcEf1IVxIMyR4h7njxIaea7d9rrOSmTh6G6oj7d1IcDvtkus~7~5YKS2WbdhUU1xQYGoYMXs9D24Q7Tx~MZGxYka8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sugar Land — The Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 27 approved the preliminary plat for DW Sugar Land Entry Reserve, a 16.236-acre portion of the proposed Rye Hill master-planned community in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Planning staff presenter Jessica Acoles described the parcel as part of the larger Rye Hill development, a proposed 960-acre master-planned mixed-use community. Acoles said the DW Sugar Land Entry Reserve preliminary plat “consists of 16.236 acres, and it includes 0 lots, 3 reserves, and 1 block.” Staff described the reserves as designated for a detention pond (Reserve B), a lift station (Reserve C) and an additional reserve associated with the Rye Hill development, and said access will be provided from Wright Hill Parkway and that the Del Webb residential portion will be a gated, private collector.

Acoles reminded the commission that preliminary plats are intended to show lot and street layout and ensure minimum lot sizes and right-of-way requirements can be met; she also noted that preliminary-plat dimensions need only be shown to the nearest whole number per the Development Application Handbook.

Commissioners asked staff whether small numeric dimension discrepancies previously noted on other plats affected approval; staff said the city’s systems and staff review found no issues for this DW Sugar Land Entry Reserve plat. A motion to approve the preliminary plat passed on a voice vote; staff recommended approval and the commission approved the item.

The preliminary plat is not a final plat and will require final-plat submittal and recording with the county; Acoles told commissioners final plats include master notes, signature blocks and proposed easements that are not shown on preliminary plats.","The Planning and Zoning Commission conditionally reviewed and then approved the preliminary plat for the DW Sugar Land Entry Reserve within the Rye Hill master-planned community; staff said the plat meets preliminary requirements and commissioners voted to approve.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6304652,"Sugar Land staff previews 2025–27 strategic action plan, outlines five priorities",633,600000,1233000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2457198-9a65605b974795bb651091f6646659eb&start=600&end=1233","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2457198-9a65605b974795bb651091f6646659eb/thumbnail_600000.jpg","/articles/6304652/Sugar-Land/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Sugar-Land-staff-previews-202527-strategic-action-plan-outlines-five-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304652-1277983ecdd8215b1274ec4d622fa424/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152519&Signature=KnlDvxqJRbjyqeAQ7f3qob0RN~p40pFrakudnzNyb02ZNALR4m56k-5fBzo7nSHviPV~JsrFsuVgHksYkhPSkv2GfhmixaF700LLTGjUkn6Lm0VzaTrR-P8iR6Lq3iAfZOWNWDabOzMK86ViNNSC7BYa5ecd6yBskKdBKlsVoty6~FzQp7js64u0htUUEGqi1jYNesFZlXnYdx-1~K7SLijryi6uvfWaYggdihj~rlPt5JZQqOCseOnLVog-JUgLOM0gsLRhH8k4LXkNqQj97QNjot40z3LbJ56imzOs~CR9vDvy7jLDWjUPDRn23BJW3u40PiU9uj~qoD8cyX50RQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sugar Land — City staff briefed the Planning and Zoning Commission on the City of Sugar Land 2025–2027 Strategic Action Plan on Feb. 27, outlining the plan’s outreach, eight strategic outcome areas and five “all-in” initiatives staff will focus on over the next three years.

Assistant Director Britney Sinclair told the commission the plan was developed after a request-for-qualifications process in May 2024 and with consulting help from FutureIQ. “We had 13 bids of strategic planning consultants. Then we selected FutureIQ to help build our city's strategic action plan,” Sinclair said, adding the city conducted extensive engagement with “over 1,500 participants,” including residents, businesses, staff, Fort Bend ISD students and outreach at the Farmers Market and University of Houston.

Sinclair said the plan organizes work around eight strategic outcome areas set by City Council in 2021 — finance, community, economy, culture, government, transportation and infrastructure — and five cross-cutting initiatives staff call “all-in” initiatives: stimulating economic growth; enhancing suburban community; boosting community reputation; encouraging community engagement; and fostering sensitive redevelopment.

The presentation listed specific objectives tied to each initiative: for enhancing suburban community, staff highlighted fostering cultural celebration, expanding destination opportunities and strengthening community connections; for boosting reputation, staff discussed an updated value proposition, benchmarking and external visibility efforts; for engagement, staff emphasized civic education, demonstrating accountability and creating forums for “quality discussions.”

Sinclair also described redevelopment priorities, including preparing key sites — identified in the presentation as Imperial and Lake Pointe — and supporting partnerships between developers and community groups. On economic growth, she said objectives include building an innovation ecosystem, cultivating business partnerships and establishing a tourism strategy.

Commissioners asked about next steps and timing. Commissioner Brown praised the student outreach and suggested scheduling recurring citizen summits. “My only suggestion there would be calendar those now and make it part of your plan,” Brown said. Sinclair said the city has launched project teams led by “Chief Trail Blazers” for each initiative and expects to begin showing tangible projects “towards the end of the summer.”

Sinclair told commissioners staff plans quarterly updates and said the city would return to Planning and Zoning to report progress. She directed commissioners who want more detail or to be engaged to expect follow-ups as the project teams solidify their annual work plans.

The presentation materials and a summary are available from city staff; Sinclair provided a project URL during the meeting (as spoken in the meeting).","City staff presented the City of Sugar Land 2025–2027 Strategic Action Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 27, describing outreach, five organizing initiatives and a timeline for projects to begin later in 2025.","actionData","errors"]
