Commission approves rezoning of 17.485-acre tract to R-2 for Goose Real Estate development
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request by Goose Real Estate to convert a 17.485-acre tract to R-2 single-family residential (2-acre lots); staff said the request aligns with the comprehensive plan and further drainage and preliminary-plat review will follow.
The Lucas Planning and Zoning Commission on March 12 approved a rezoning application filed by James Roberts of Goose Real Estate on behalf of landowner Sergio Villareal to rezone a 17.485-acre tract from Agriculture/Open Space to R-2 single-family residential. The motion passed 5-0.
Staff told the commission the requested zoning aligns with the city's comprehensive plan and described proposed development standards, a private road to be constructed and an HOA to manage dedicated infrastructure. Public commenter Randy Kirchow, who lives near the site, said from a land-use standpoint the requested R-2 density fits but asked the commission to scrutinize developer history and drainage; James Roberts, the developer, said drainage will be studied during preliminary-plat review and identified a small creek at the property's northeast corner. Staff confirmed a traffic count is regularly performed on Snyder Lane and said recent counts average roughly 15,000 northbound and 24,000 southbound vehicle movements per 30 days on Snyder Lane, noting cut-through traffic patterns.
Commissioners said preliminary-plat review will address drainage, private-road design and other infrastructure before any construction permits are issued; the rezoning approval moves the proposal to subsequent plat and engineering review stages.
