Manvel City Council is scheduled to review a proposed 100-acre residential development north of Hwy. 6 and east of Masters Road at its July 6 meeting.
Risewell Group, the national developer behind the project, postponed its June 18 presentation, requesting an additional three weeks before appearing before the council. The item remained on the agenda for council discussion and public comment.
What residents need to know
The proposal outlines a 100-acre residential subdivision with about 260 homes on lots ranging from 50 to 70 feet wide, according to presentation documents.
The updated plan adds about 2 acres of commercial space along Masters Road and additional park and open space while addressing concerns about drainage, traffic impacts and lot sizes.
The area the property is proposed on is currently zoned open single-family residential, which requires lots to be at least 1 acre, city documents show.
At the June 18 meeting, Mayor Dan Davis said he would be hesitant to support rezoning the property for lots smaller than 1 acre, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Several residents also voiced concerns at the meeting about increased density, traffic and whether the proposal aligns with the city's existing zoning requirements.
What’s next
Manvel City Council is scheduled to meet at 5 p.m. July 6 at Manvel City Hall, located at 20031 Hwy. 6, Manvel.
