Sugar Land P&Z approves Del Webb Rye Hill Section 1D final plat, requires reserve-table corrections
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Del Webb Sugar Land at Rye Hill Section 1D final plat March 26, 2026, conditioning approval on corrected reserve-table math and cleaner map callouts; the plat covers 18.893 acres with 67 lots in the Del Webb (55+) portion of the development.
The City of Sugar Land Planning and Zoning Commission voted March 26 to approve the Del Webb Sugar Land at Rye Hill Section 1D final plat, subject to conditions requiring corrected reserve-table calculations and clearer easement/linework callouts.
Ethan Cantu, the city’s principal planner, told the commission that the Del Webb portion of the Rye Hill master plan is about 18.893 acres and will contain 67 lots, five reserves and three blocks as part of a larger master-planned community created under a December 2023 development agreement with Pulte Homes. “It’s going to be a mix of approximately 2,300 single-family residential lots, and as well as Del Webb residential lots,” Cantu said, describing the larger community; he noted the Del Webb neighborhood will be restricted to residents 55 and older and that a 60-acre flex commercial tract lies north of FM 2759.
Commissioners focused discussion on a numerical discrepancy in the reserve-table totals shown on the plat. One commissioner said the lower-left reserve aggregate should read 312,194.52 square feet (7.167 acres) while the table on the plat shows 312,828. Staff acknowledged the difference could result from rounding during calculation and offered to correct it. A consultant from Pape-Dawson confirmed some callouts for storm-sewer easements had been expanded to include waterline easements in an earlier revision, producing redundant nested labels.
Garrett Duhon, a Pape-Dawson engineer, characterized the duplicate easement labels as an artifact of previous review requests: “It’s redundant. Absolutely,” he said, adding that the 5-foot waterline callout remained only where it was not otherwise addressed.
The chair moved to approve the final plat with two explicit conditions: correct individual rounding errors in the reserve tables (particularly the lower-left total) and ensure the aggregate square footage across Reserves A through E is calculated correctly. The motion cited applicable development guidance and code provisions and was seconded by Commissioner Dawood; the motion passed 9–0.
The staff presentation also noted that the final plat shows a drill site in the southeastern portion of the map that is recorded in Section 1C and appears on the Section 1D record for reference only. Cantu said Section 1D is accessed from Floricane Way via Medler Way and is part of the preliminary plat approved April 24, 2025.
The commission asked staff to include in future packet write-ups whether conditions attached to preliminary plats have been satisfied before final-plat consideration, and commissioners encouraged cleaner line-work and consistent use of arrows or delineators so easements and building lines are clearer on printed plats.
The commission’s approval is procedural final-plat action conditioned on the corrections; staff will update the plat documents to reflect the corrected reserve totals and consistent labeling before recordation or further administrative approval steps.
