The Timmerman 2020 application refers to a proposed rezoning of approximately 150 acres off Pecan Street, adjacent to the Bohls Place neighborhood and the upcoming 3.8 million-square-foot distribution center, called Project Charm. The application requests a rezoning from the current agriculture designation and development reserve to an urban district, or CL4 zoning.
The proposed urban district would include “vibrant and walkable neighborhoods and employment centers” along SH 130 and SH 45 North, per city documents. The Pflugerville Planning and Zoning Commission denied recommending of the proposal in a 5-2 vote at its March 2 meeting.
Under the proposal, the 150-acre tract of land could be used for a variety of permitted residential and nonresidential uses, Assistant Planning Director Jeremy Frazzell said March 2.
Residential options include assisted-living facilities, condominiums, live-work units and nursing homes. Permitted nonresidential uses could include bars, commercial recreation and entertainment, parking lots, parks, playgrounds and retail, according to city documents. The tract of land is also eligible for specific uses, such as multifamily residential, miniature warehouses and public storage facilities, mobile food parks and office spaces, per city documents.
