Council approves rezoning for eight townhomes in Mountain View area
Summary
The council approved PD-25-15 to rezone a 0.654-acre parcel for eight three-bedroom townhomes; the developer said Tarrant County subsidies and a first-time homebuyer program will make the units attainable.
Council members voted to approve zoning case PD-25-15 on Dec. 9, clearing the way for an eight-unit townhome development near Dan Gould Drive and the Grama Street extension.
Planning staff described the site as approximately 0.654 acres and said the plan rezones property from Residential Estate (RE) to Planned Development for Residential Medium Density (RM-12). Georgie Zang, the applicant, told the council the development will provide 1,600-square-foot, three-bedroom townhomes with two-car garages and small backyards and said the project is intended for sale — not investor purchases.
Zang said the Tarrant County Development Corporation will subsidize more than $50,000 per unit and buyers will be required to complete Arlington’s first-time homebuyer program, which includes homeownership education and up to $25,000 in forgivable down-payment assistance. She told council the developer will construct a Grama Street extension to ease local congestion and that aesthetic adjustments requested by the Planning & Zoning Commission had been incorporated.
Council members expressed support for the revised design and its potential to catalyze neighborhood redevelopment. On a motion from Council Member Gonzales with a second from Council Member Galante, the council voted to approve the rezoning.
The developer said construction would move quickly with the goal of delivering units in time for the 2026 school year. Plans and final permits will be documented with the city’s planning department, and the developer is required to comply with conditions set by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
