Summary

Flat Creek Builders' request to rezone 24.48 acres from agricultural open to multifamily at the northeast corner of East Lake Road and Musgrave Boulevard was recommended for approval; the developer said the site will be built in phases with roughly 230 mini‑house (built‑to‑rent) units and amenities.

The commission approved Z202635, a rezoning request by Flat Creek Builders to convert about 24.48 acres from agricultural open to multifamily. Planner Adam Holland said the property is vacant with nearby multifamily to the north; staff found the change consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommended approval.

Applicant Justin Harden described a built‑to‑rent project of roughly 230 units delivered in phases of about 30 units, single‑story structures with some two‑story three‑bedroom units and amenities including a pool, playground, dog park and walking trails in floodplain areas. "We basically played Legos with it... between 230 and 250 units," Harden said, adding a phased delivery plan to avoid overloading infrastructure. Commissioners voted to approve the rezoning after the applicant described timing and mitigation steps for floodplain and infrastructure.
