Copperas Cove approves annexation and development agreement for 84.45-acre Sweetwater Hills project
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to execute a development and annexation agreement with Fieldstone Commercial LLC for the Sweetwater Hills mixed‑use development, covering about 84.45 acres in the city's extra‑territorial jurisdiction along FM 113 west of Grimes Crossing Road.
The Copperas Cove City Council on June 2 authorized the city manager to execute a development and annexation agreement with Fieldstone Commercial LLC for the Sweetwater Hills mixed‑use development, an approximately 84.45‑acre site located along FM 113 west of Grimes Crossing Road in the city’s extra‑territorial jurisdiction.
Development Services Director Bobby Lewis told the council staff received a development-review application in mid‑March and held multiple development review committee (DRC) meetings with the developer and engineer; Lewis said staff and the developer accepted legal language changes and exhibits A–G, and that the version presented represents the final agreement.
The city manager praised the development review team for an expedited process, saying the current agreement proceeded more quickly than prior projects that took years. Councilman Dale Treadway moved to authorize execution of the agreement; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff noted that developer representatives were present during the meeting.
The agreement authorizes the city to proceed with annexation and the development framework set out in the attachments; the transcript does not provide financial terms or phasing details in the public record excerpt.
