Leander City Council makes room for residential project off CR 175

Leander City Council on Feb. 6 cleared the way for a proposed residential development on roughly 20.6 acres off CR 175.

Council approved the needed future land use and zoning amendment cases, changing the zoning from employment center to neighborhood residential and from single family rural to single family estate, according to agenda documents.

The amendment requests were made in anticipation of a residential development project at 621 CR 175, Leander, according to a letter of intent.

The letter, from Dannen Real Estate Development, said the property is well suited for a large lot residential subdivision.

Council member Chris Czernek clarified the move will not set a new standard for the city.

“This council has been very very adamant about saving every commercial piece we can, but when you add everything up here, and the schools that are going across the way and everything else that’s around that property, it really does make sense there,” he said.
