Planning commission recommends preliminary plat for 137.66‑acre Meadow Lake subdivision
Summary
The Temple Planning and Zoning Commission voted May 5 to recommend City Council approve the preliminary plat for Meadow Lake, a 137.66‑acre mixed‑use subdivision on the south side of FM 93 that proposes roughly 432 residential lots and related infrastructure.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on May 5 voted unanimously to recommend that City Council approve the preliminary plat for Meadow Lake, a proposed 137.66‑acre mixed‑use subdivision on the south side of FM 93.
Principal planner Cheryl Maxwell presented the plat (FY25‑17‑PLT) for the Meadow Lake development, which is planned for the Maximo Moreno survey and includes frontage on FM 93, the 93 Spur and Old Highway 95. The proposal showed single‑family lots, townhomes and a mixed multifamily/general‑retail lot; the preliminary materials describe about 432 residential lots across phases and multiple nonresidential tracks.
Maxwell told the commission that the property was rezoned to a planned development in February 2024 and that the preliminary plat conforms to the PD ordinance’s minimum and maximum area requirements. She outlined planned infrastructure work tied to a capital improvements project serving the area: turn lanes on FM 93, widening of 93 Spur to four 12‑foot lanes, traffic signals, drainage improvements, a 12‑inch water line and a 15‑inch sewer line. The developer will extend water and sewer within the subdivision and construct a lift station on Lot 31, Block 2; a water well on Tract A must be plugged before final plat signatures.
Maxwell also noted parkland and fee matters: the preliminary plat proposes about 7 acres of park tracks to be owned and maintained by a homeowners association, and the developer indicated it will pay a park fee of $97,200 for the 432 residential lots (additional fees may apply when multifamily is developed).
Commissioner Smith moved to recommend approval of item FY25‑17‑PLT to City Council per staff recommendations; Commissioner Morales seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
Because the commission granted preliminary plat approval, the project will proceed toward final plat submittal, permitting and the infrastructure steps Maxwell described; final engineering and phasing will detail the unit mix and utility implementations.
