A new mixed-use neighborhood off Ronald Reagan Boulevard received the green light to move forward with its development timeline.
The Leander City Council voted unanimously July 16 to approve a phasing plan for the Oakmont Ridge development, allowing all 80 single-family lots to be constructed in the same phase.
The details
To comply with city ordinances, the development needed approval from the city to build all 80 in one phase rather than 30 lots at a time.
The subdivision will also construct 135,783 square feet of commercial development in its first phase of construction, covering 36.5 acres. The project’s second and final phase would complete a remaining 43,000 square feet of commercial development.
In total, the development would take up a little over 50 acres of land, according to city documents. Zoning for the project was first approved in April 2024.
Other projects
During the same meeting, the city of Leander approved a nearly $587,000 contract to add a traffic light at the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Vista Heights Drive, just south of the planned Oakmont Ridge subdivision.
The contract was awarded to EZ Bel Construction LLC, which city documents indicate submitted the lowest bid. Funding for this project comes from traffic impact fees and certificates of obligation from 2024 and 2025.
