South Shore Harbor Country Club plans residential development for 14 upscale lots

A proposed residential development in League City is stirring excitement among local residents and officials alike. During the recent government meeting, Stephen Morris, owner of South Shore Harbor Country Club, presented a rezoning application for approximately 3.4 acres of land along South Shore Boulevard. The request aims to change the zoning from public semi-public to residential single-family, paving the way for the construction of up to 14 high-end patio or garden homes.

Morris emphasized the importance of this development, stating it would complete the neighborhood and enhance the value of the country club, which has been under new ownership for the past 18 months. He noted that there is a growing demand for smaller, custom homes in the area, particularly for residents looking to downsize from larger properties.

The proposal received a positive reception, with Morris reporting no objections from neighboring residents. He highlighted that the development would offer a unique opportunity for custom homes within a private gated community, designed in collaboration with the planning and zoning commission.

However, the motion to approve the rezoning did not pass, with a vote of 0-4 against it. This outcome leaves the future of the project uncertain, but the discussions have sparked interest in the potential for residential growth in the area. As the community awaits further developments, the focus remains on balancing growth with the preservation of green spaces and neighborhood character.
