At an April 7 meeting, Hutto City Council approved an amendment to the city's future land-use map, changing the tract's designation from agricultural/open space to mid-density residential/commercial.
Materials from landowner Waymaker Ventures LLC indicate plans to use the land for a mix of single-family, commercial and mixed-use development. Preliminary plans also include park space and a potential school site.
However, these are still very early plans and are subject to change, Development Services Director Ashley Lumpkin said. According to Lumpkin, the future land-use map amendment is only the first step toward developing the Waymaker Stromberg Tract.
"We're on about A out of the alphabet on what this development will have to go through," Lumpkin said.
