Keller City Council approved a planned development zoning change off North Main Street and Johnson Road from commercial and single-family residential to a planned development mixed-use area.

The details

The change, implemented during council's regular meeting May 6, will allow developers to move forward with the Rosebury development, which is slated to contain 21 single-family homes and two commercial buildings.

The multi-use nature of the item spurred discussion among council members regarding the city’s future land use plan, which is a city’s long-term vision for how land within a specific area should be used and developed.

“The reality is we’re at a point in the city that ultimately projects are going to be coming to city council,” Mayor Armin Mizani said. “For the most part we are developed, [but] there are pockets where development can happen.”


Communication and Public Engagement Manager Rachel Reynolds said the developer must complete several more steps before construction can begin, including:
  • Detailed site plan - requires City Council approval
  • Civil construction plans – staff approval
  • Plat – likely just planning & zoning committee approval; would have to go to Cioty Council if there are variances
  • Developer agreement for public improvements – staff approval
  • Pre-construction meeting/grading and other development permits – staff approval
  • Final acceptance of public improvements – staff approval
  • Building permits for the homes – staff approval
  • Site plans/SUPs as needed for the commercial lots – City Council approval
“The timeline will really depend on the developer and how quickly they choose to move,” Reynolds said.
