Council approves second reading of Sienna Hills rezoning to allow 34‑acre single‑family subdivision
Summary
The council held the second reading and approved Ordinance 808 to rezone roughly 34 acres for the Sienna Hills low‑density residential development, consistent with the city’s future land‑use plan; the project includes 93 lots and reserved parkland.
During the Jan. 27 meeting the Grimes City Council approved the second reading of Ordinance 808 to rezone about 34 acres for a proposed Sienna Hills single‑family subdivision north of SW 19th Street and east of Chazwood Drive.
Planner Alex summarized the proposal: the rezoning would enable approximately 93 single‑family lots, private stormwater detention, required buffering along arterial roadways and a reserved parkland parcel the city acquired using grant funds. The rezoning was found consistent with the city’s future land‑use designation for low‑density residential and included right‑of‑way accommodations for future roadway widening and a greenway trail connection.
Councilmembers voted by roll call to advance the ordinance; staff flagged associated infrastructure commitments and noted the city will continue staged public‑works improvements in the area, including water‑system interconnect extension to support future development.
Next steps: staff will coordinate development approvals with necessary infrastructure sequencing and monitor right‑of‑way and trail connections with partner jurisdictions where applicable.
