The process to potentially bring a large housing and retail development with water conservation design elements to Kyle is moving forward.

The Kyle City Council approved the first of two readings to rezone approximately 98.88 acres at 1100 E. FM 150 from Agricultural to a Planned Unit Development. If approved, the mixed-use development would combine retail, single-family housing and multifamily residential units, constructed with water conservation in mind, according to city documents.

The details

The agenda packet states that the land is divided into three segments:
  • Retail services: 13 acres
  • Single-family homes: 48.4 acres
  • Residential apartments: 28.4 acres
The local impact

The agenda states that the developer will donate three acres to the city of Kyle for the construction of a municipal facility or for use as parkland or open space.


According to city documents, the developer has agreed to utilize the One Water approach, which involves integrating stormwater, wastewater, drinking water and other water sources in one system.

The project will utilize One Water techniques by:
  • Using native, drought-tolerant landscaping
  • Using alternative ground covers
  • Using a design that collects water from the site into a regional detention pond
  • Reusing water in the pond for on-site irrigation
Jason Lutz, assistant director of the Kyle Planning Department, said the development will give 7.2 acres to the city for the Chevo Pastrano Senior Parkway road, which will connect FM 150 and Yarrington Road once completed.

The council voted to pass the item with an amendment added by Mayor Travis Mitchell, which states that 20% of the project would have townhomes.
