Lewisville City Council approves zone change requests for planned housing developments

More housing options are slated for Lewisville after the City Council approved three zone change requests.

An ordinance granting a zone change will allow for a planned development at 301 and 333 Uecker Lane. The mixed-use property will consist of 21 single-family detached homes and 41 townhomes with 1.8 acres of open space on 7.94 acres, according to the Jan. 9 agenda item.

The open space will consist of 1.5 acres of public parkland situated on the northern portion of the site along Oak Bend Drive and an adjoining 0.3-acre private open space containing a detention facility at the southeast corner of Oak Bend Drive and South Uecker Lane.

A development is also planned for the The Realm Subdistrict of Castle Hills. A zone change from planned development multifamily to planned development estate townhouse cleared the way for a 12-lot detached single-family development. The 16.719-acre site is located at the northwest corner of Lady Tessala Avenue and the Essex Drive extension.

An undeveloped lot at the northwest corner of Oakwood Lane and Bellaire Boulevard is expected to be the future site of a duplex. The property will be adjacent to an existing residential alley and is surrounded by single-family and multifamily housing and neighborhood-serving commercial uses.

The existing residential alley will be used for vehicular access since a driveway is prohibited on Bellaire Boulevard and would be unsafe on Oakwood Lane due to the curve in the road, according to the agenda item.

These changes align with the Lewisville 2025 Vision Plan, which includes providing additional housing options.
