Developer urges Razor Ranch amendment to allow some two‑bedroom conversions

Denton Planning and Zoning Commission · August 12, 2026

Summary

Amy Bissett, representing the Razor Ranch developer, told the commission the 37‑lot, fully platted site cannot viably be built as one‑bedroom units given rising costs; she supported a code change to allow loft conversions to second bedrooms without replatting.

During the public hearing on DCA‑26‑4, Amy Bissett said she represents the owner and developer of a 37‑lot Razor Ranch site that was platted with one‑bedroom garden homes. She said the product was intended for attainable buyers but rising construction and architectural costs mean one‑bedroom units are no longer marketable at feasible prices.

Bissett described the lots as "permit ready" — streets, water and sewer are in place — and said many homes include a second‑story loft that could be converted into a second bedroom without altering plat infrastructure. She urged the commission to support the amendment to remove the one‑bedroom restriction for the specific overlay area so the project can move forward.
