The Round Rock City Council convened on June 12, 2025, to address several key agenda items, primarily focusing on zoning changes and the expansion of the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
The meeting began with a public hearing regarding the rezoning of 1.863 acres located at 1501 Lisa Ray Drive. The property, currently zoned as SF-1 (single-family large lot), is proposed to be rezoned to OF-1 (General Office Zoning District). This change aims to facilitate the conversion of the existing home into an office space, with no plans for expansion at this time. The Planning and Zoning Commission had previously recommended the rezoning unanimously, and no public comments were made during the hearing. The council voted in favor of the ordinance, with a motion to dispense with the second reading also passing unanimously.
Following this, the council considered a resolution for the voluntary expansion of the city's ETJ for approximately 76.66 acres of land located south of Westinghouse Road and west of County Road 110. This area is intended for the development of a new single-family neighborhood comprising over 900 homes, which will be part of a Municipal Utility District (MUD) within city limits. The council discussed the necessary steps for annexation, including municipal services agreements and amendments to the future land use map to designate the area for residential use.
The proposed development will be zoned SF-3 (single-family mixed lot), which is the standard zoning for new single-family developments in Round Rock. The council emphasized the importance of connectivity in the area, requiring the developer to provide stub streets for future connections to adjacent properties. Concerns regarding traffic and drainage were raised, but the council assured that standard development review processes would address these issues.
The meeting concluded with discussions on the creation of Round Rock MUD Number 3, which will finance essential infrastructure for the new development. The MUD will levy taxes on residents to recoup costs associated with water, sewer, drainage, and road facilities.
Overall, the council's decisions reflect a commitment to managing growth and infrastructure development in Round Rock, ensuring that new neighborhoods are well-integrated into the existing community framework. The next steps will involve further planning and development processes as the city prepares for the anticipated expansion.
