In a recent planning and zoning meeting in Taylor, Texas, officials discussed the progress of the Davis Tract development, which includes two phases of residential and commercial projects. The meeting highlighted the preliminary plat phase for both phases, which have recently been annexed into the city limits.

The timeline for the Davis Tract development has seen significant milestones, with the neighborhood plan for phase 1 approved in October 2023, followed by a preliminary plat submission in March 2024. Phase 2's neighborhood plan was approved in October 2024, and the latest submission for a preliminary plat encompassing both phases was received in August 2025. However, the development has faced delays due to an error in identifying an easement related to an effluent line for Samsung, which needs to be addressed in the neighborhood plan.

The proposed development spans a large area, with plans for both residential and commercial retail spaces. There is also interest from the Taylor Independent School District (TISD) for a potential school site within the development. However, the applicant has not provided an updated neighborhood plan since merging the two phases, leading to inconsistencies in the rights of way and thoroughfare types.

City officials expressed concerns over outstanding engineering comments related to the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and recommended disapproval of the current preliminary plat submission. They emphasized the need for a comment resolution meeting to address these issues and ensure that the plans align with the approved neighborhood guidelines.

As the city continues to navigate the complexities of this development, the outcome of the upcoming discussions will be crucial in determining the future of the Davis Tract and its impact on the Taylor community.
