City Commission Approves Final Plat for Ryhill Section 2B Development

The City of Sugar Land's Planning and Zoning Commission took a significant step forward in urban development during their meeting on July 24, 2025, by considering the final plat for the Ryhill Section 2B development. This project, part of a larger master-planned community, is set to transform approximately 960 acres south of Greatwood into a vibrant mixed-use area.

Jessica, a city planner, presented the details of the Ryhill development, which includes plans for 2,335 residential lots, with a specific section designated for Del Webb homes aimed at residents aged 55 and older. In addition to residential spaces, the development will feature 60 acres allocated for commercial use, enhancing the community's economic landscape.

The commission reviewed the final plat for Section 2B, which encompasses 30.03 acres and includes over 100 residential lots. The lots will vary in width, accommodating diverse housing needs. Access to this section will be facilitated through an existing road from the previously recorded Rye Hill Section 2A.

After addressing minor adjustments to the preliminary plat, including corrections to dimensions and match lines, staff recommended approval of the final plat. The commission, adhering to its options of approval, conditional approval, or disapproval, moved swiftly to support the project. A motion to approve the final plat was made and seconded, indicating strong backing for the development.

This approval marks a crucial milestone in the ongoing development of Sugar Land, promising to bring new housing and commercial opportunities to the area. The commission's actions reflect a commitment to thoughtful urban planning that meets the needs of the community while fostering growth.
