Hutto City Council approved a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to expand the Durango Farms day care during its July 15 meeting.

Development plans for the Durango Farms neighborhood, situated west of FM 1660 and north of East Street, include a day care west of Mager Lane intended to serve families in the neighborhood. The land parcel designated for the building was limited to 2,500 square feet. Following city council approval, the new approved size is 12,000 square feet, within the typical day care range, SEC Planning principal Mark Baker said during the commission meeting July 6.

City Council also approved a parking lot increase from around seven spaces to around 40 spaces with additional employee spots allowed. The expanded parking lot is intended to help with child drop-offs and pickups.
