Council approves development agreement with Beazer Homes for 369.8‑acre community
Summary
The Rosenberg City Council unanimously authorized a development agreement with Beazer Homes covering about 369.828 acres (roughly 78.8 acres in city limits and ~290 acres in the ETJ), allowing up to 1,100 single‑family lots with 40–70 foot lot ranges and reserving future annexation rights under a strategic partnership.
City planning staff presented Resolution R4055 and described the proposed development as a continuation of the adjacent Brookwater community, with roughly 369.828 acres included in the plan and a proposed mix of lot widths from 40 to 70 feet. Mohammed summarized the agreement's boundary adjustments (removing 66.2 acres from city limits into ETJ while annexing 32.8 acres into the city) and said the development would include on‑site detention, parks, and a wastewater/water plan integrated with Brookwater's system.
Richard Mueller, attorney for Beazer Homes, told council the agreement secures control of the tract in the city's ETJ and gives Rosenberg the option to annex later under a strategic partnership agreement; Beazer and its representative described homes starting in the low $400,000s and emphasized the company builds higher‑end homes, not starter homes. Council discussed maintenance (MUD responsibility) and annexation timing and then voted unanimously to approve the resolution authorizing the city manager to negotiate and execute the development agreement.
