The city of Pflugerville is paving the way for rapid development along Pecan Street. The latest: Council unanimously voted to rezone a property of more than 150 acres, referred to as Timmerman 2020, on June 9. The site is adjacent to a 3.8 million-square-foot distribution center currently under construction, known as Project Charm.
The rezoning ordinance was approved on consent, meaning no council discussion was held prior to the vote. Council’s June 9 vote followed an approved first reading on May 12. However, the Pflugerville Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-2 on March 2 to recommend council deny the request.
Several commission members said March 2 that the proposal’s lack of detailed conceptual plans raised potential concerns over how the proposed rezoning could impact adjacent neighborhoods, including Bohls Place. Chair Pat Epstein said that the commission’s responsibility was to help plan for community development, and proposals lacking specificity make that more difficult.
The proposed urban district would include “vibrant and walkable neighborhoods and employment centers” along SH 130 and SH 45, per city documents. The initial application requested a rezoning from the current agriculture designation and development reserve to an urban district, or CL4 zoning.
