Commission recommends approval of Heritage Grove rezoning and future‑land‑use amendment after neighbor concerns on drainage and septic

The Keller Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4–3 Tuesday to recommend that City Council approve a rezoning and a future‑land‑use amendment for a proposed eight‑lot subdivision called Heritage Grove.

The applicant, represented by William Solomon of Sumamande Capital, asked to rezone roughly 7.22 acres at 8733 Indian Knoll Trail from SF‑36 (36,000‑square‑foot minimum lots) to SF‑30 (30,000‑square‑foot minimum) and to change the future land use plan designation from low‑density single family (36,000+ sq. ft.) to medium‑density single family (15,000–35,999 sq. ft.). The applicant’s concept plan shows eight custom lots, a single gated access from Indian Knoll, a detention pond in the southwest corner and a proposed minimum dwelling size of 4,000 square feet (the SF‑30 base zoning minimum is 2,400 sq. ft.).
