Sugar Land P&Z approves Del Webb ‘Rye Hill’ Section 1B final plat
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Del Webb Sugar Land at Rye Hill Section 1B final plat (13.337 acres, 10 Del Webb lots) after staff recommended approval; commissioners asked technical questions about easements and right‑of‑way before a 7–0 vote.
The City of Sugar Land Planning and Zoning Commission voted Dec. 9 to approve the Del Webb Sugar Land at Rye Hill Section 1B final plat, a 13.337‑acre segment that includes 10 Del Webb residential lots, four reserves and an amenity center.
Senior Planner Jessica Echols told commissioners the Rye Hill master plan—approved previously by city council through a development agreement with Pulte Homes in December 2023—covers roughly 860 acres in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and includes a mix of single‑family and age‑restricted Del Webb lots. "Staff is recommending approval of the proposed Del Webb Sugar Land at Rye Hill Section 1B final plat," Echols said during her presentation.
During questions, commissioners asked for clarifications on plat boundaries and recorded easements. The applicant and staff confirmed Webb Parkway, a recorded entry‑reserve, touches the plat boundary but is not part of the Section 1B final plat under consideration. One commissioner pointed out a callout listing a 20‑foot storm sewer easement while a dimension on the sheet read 5 feet; staff and the engineer said the plat shows the portion that extends past the reserve and that the underlying, recorded storm sewer easement is a separate instrument. Staff said they would confirm the dimension against the construction plans and recordation documents.
The commission moved to approve the final plat; the chair announced the motion passed seven‑zero. The minutes for the Nov. 11, 2025 meeting were also approved earlier in the session, with one abstention recorded by a member who said they were not at that meeting.
Next steps: final plat recordation and infrastructure review will proceed according to the development code and any recorded instruments tied to the project. Staff signaled that additional sections of the Rye Hill development will return to the commission in future final plat submittals.
