Commission approves seventh Duncan Tract master-plan revision, shifts acreage to single-family

The League City Planning & Zoning Commission approved Master Plan Revision No. 7 for the Duncan Tract (MP 25004), a change that increases single-family residential acreage and reduces multifamily/townhome allocations.

Planning staff presented the revision, noting most changes focus on a pod just north of the Grand Parkway. The staff presentation said single-family residential land uses increased by 48.9 acres while multifamily residential land uses decreased by 51.5 acres. The revision reduces the emergency services land use by 4.5 acres and flips one previously proposed emergency services site back to an urban-village designation because a nearby Lloyd project will provide the needed emergency-services site to the west.

Staff said the net result is an increase of 204 single-family lots for a total of 2,588 residential lots in the Duncan master plan and a decrease of 345 townhome units; the plan now shows no proposed townhomes within the PUD, which staff said is permitted. Commercial acreage decreased by about 1.2 acres, detention acreage increased slightly and parkland decreased but remained in compliance with parkland requirements, staff added.

A commissioner asked whether the revision required City Council action; staff responded that the change is within allowed PUD revisions and therefore does not have to go to council. A motion to approve the master plan revision was made and seconded, and the commission voted in favor; the chair called for "aye" votes, heard none opposed and the motion carried.

Staff noted this is the seventh revision; the presentation included a side-by-side of revision six (approved in March) and the new revision. No public commenters spoke on the master-plan revision at the meeting.
