Description/History
This is a request to rezone approximately 210 acres of property east of State Highway 360 and south of Lone Star and Britton Roads from PR, Pre-Development District to the T, Toll Road 360 Form-based Development District. The T, Toll Road 360 Form-based Development District intends to encourage and enable “harmonious and coordinated development and to create “walkable pedestrian environments that complement the existing housing stock by offering a variety of building types to serve mixed generations.”
