What you need to know

League City City Council voted 6-2 at its Aug. 26 meeting for the second and final reading of a request to rezone 466 acres of land to create a PUD—a type of zoning that allows for different types of development in the same place.

The land is generally located south of FM 528, north of Grissom Road, and between Bay Area Boulevard and West NASA Boulevard, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

The proposal to create the Midline PUD includes 1,337 single-family residential lots, 50 acres of commercial space, a 15-acre city park, private parkland and a 4-acre fire station site at Beamer Road and Grissom Road, according to agenda documents.

The plan also proposes two gas stations—one at Beamer Road and Grissom Road, and the other at Beamer Road and FM 528.

Those opposed

Council members Andy Mann and Tom Crews voted against the rezoning request but did not comment on their decision at the Aug. 26 meeting.
