Council approves Meander Road annexation and zoning to allow new subdivision
Summary
Granbury city council voted unanimously to annex 8.542 acres at 901 Meander Road and to rezone roughly 47.9 acres at 701–901 Meander Road to R-7 single-family residential, clearing the way for a new low-density subdivision; council and staff said infrastructure extensions for water and sewer will be required during platting.
Granbury — The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt two ordinances that will allow a developer to expand a residential subdivision on Meander Road. Ordinance 26‑32 approves the voluntary annexation of 8.542 acres at 901 Meander Road; Ordinance 26‑33 rezones about 47.864 acres at 701, 801 and 901 Meander Road from interim holding to R‑7 low-density single‑family residential.
City staff described the annexation and zoning as necessary steps to bring the properties into the city for platting, zoning and utility service. “This property is currently addressed at 901 Meander Road,” Cody Nolan, director of community development, told the council, adding that the site aligns with the comprehensive plan’s designation for low‑density residential and that a plat is under review.
The council asked how new lots would be served. Nolan said new water and sewer lines will be constructed within the property to serve the proposed lots and that those improvements are part of the platting and engineering review that follows zoning. Nolan noted staff mailed notices to nearby property owners and that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 5–0 vote.
No members of the public spoke during the public hearings for either item. After brief questions from council about utilities, the council adopted both ordinances by a 6–0 vote, approving the annexation and the zoning change.
What happens next: With annexation and zoning in place, the developer will proceed with final platting and engineering review; those processes will determine exact lot layouts, utility designs and any required on‑site infrastructure improvements. The city said those later submittals will include the technical reviews that address connection points and construction of water and sewer lines.
