Leander City Council at its March 20 meeting approved the annexation of 20.5 acres into the city.

The property is located at 621 CR 175, and according to previous reporting, the land is set to be developed into large residential lots.

How we got here

In February, City Council amended the planned land use for the property from employment center to neighborhood residential.

The amendment requests were made in anticipation of a residential development project, according to a letter of intent from the Feb. 6 meeting.


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

Quote of note

Council member Chris Czernek clarified in February 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.
