David Weekley Homes updates Flower Mound community development plans and home amenity requirements

The Flower Mound Planning and Zoning meeting on August 25, 2025, focused on a development update for the Wyvern community and proposed changes to residential lot coverage regulations. The presentation, led by representatives from David Weekley Homes, highlighted ongoing construction efforts and the need for adjustments to accommodate evolving buyer preferences.

Key updates included the completion timeline for public roadways and the installation of masonry and wood fencing around the community. The developers indicated that the entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 or early 2026. They emphasized the rising costs of home construction and land acquisition in Flower Mound, which have influenced the design and pricing of new homes.

A significant point of discussion was the request for a 5% increase in allowable lot coverage for outdoor living spaces. The developers argued that this change is necessary to meet the demand for larger patios and outdoor amenities, which have become increasingly popular among homebuyers. They assured the council that this increase would not impact stormwater management or traffic, as the overall square footage of homes would remain unchanged.

Concerns were raised by council members regarding the potential impact of increased impervious surfaces on drainage and stormwater systems. However, engineering staff confirmed that the existing infrastructure has been designed to accommodate the proposed changes without adverse effects on the surrounding environment.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from the developers to maintain open communication with the community and address any further concerns as the project progresses. The proposed changes are seen as a response to market demands while ensuring that the quality of life in Flower Mound remains a priority.
