Council approves Athena Domain master plan for 80.69‑acre Corley tract with conditions
Summary
The council approved a master development plan and recommended CCN incorporation for an 80.69‑acre parcel at 29580 Ralph Fair Road, allocating 139 LUEs for water and 137 for wastewater and imposing conditions including looping of water mains, LOMR/CLAR floodplain study and an executed water/wastewater service agreement.
Fair Oaks Ranch councilmembers voted Dec. 5 to approve the master development plan (MDP) submitted by Athena Domain LLC for an 80.69‑acre portion of the Corley Tract at 29580 Ralph Fair Road and to support the applicant’s request to incorporate the parcel into the city's water and wastewater Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN).
Lee Muniz, the city’s manager of engineering services, told the council the proposed MDP divides the 160‑acre Corley Tract into three districts and that the developer seeks an allocation of 139 LUEs for water and 137 LUEs for wastewater for the 80.69‑acre parcel. The city’s master water/wastewater plan previously allocated 215 LUEs for the (60-acre) tract referenced in prior documents; Muniz said the incorporation and final service agreement will document the maximum designated LUEs for this parcel.
The plan calls for gated residential neighborhoods with private streets, 216 townhomes (including a 60/40 split of family/senior units as described by a developer representative), a mixed‑use village of four commercial buildings (intended for services such as medical offices, pet care or private educational use), walking trails, pocket parks and multiple dog parks. Muniz said required next steps include a traffic impact analysis, LOMR/CLAR floodplain study and a water/wastewater service agreement that adheres to the LUE caps.
Rajiv Puri, an Athena Domain representative, told council that the townhomes are currently planned as roughly 60% family and 40% senior units and are intended for purchase rather than rent. Council members asked about traffic impacts, school enrollment studies and access arrangements for the remainder of the 160-acre tract; Muniz and the developer said a TIA and further planning will address impacts and that any changes to the MDP would return to council for approval.
Council approved the MDP with the conditions recommended by staff (water/wastewater LUE caps, dual connection points to loop water, required LOMR/CLAR study prior to plat, executed service agreement and maintaining private streets/gated community for the residential portion).
