Fair Oaks Ranch City Council considers Future Land Use Map update for Post Oak

The Post Oak development in Fair Oaks Ranch continues to move forward following public hearings and the first approval of a Future Land Use Map designation from City Council on Aug. 21.

During the meeting, no resident spoke, but four residents submitted comment forms. Of the four residents, one was in favor of the FLUM update, while three were opposed.

The overview

According to agenda documents, the applicant is requesting to amend the FLUM classification to align with the development agreement approved by City Council in May. The FLUM is a document within the city’s Comprehensive Plan, which guides long-term development.

The current FLUM classification is Rural Residential, requiring lots to be a minimum of 5 acres. Per the development agreement, the appropriate FLUM classification is Neighborhood Residential, mandating lots to be a minimum of 1 acre.

Since the approval of the development agreement, an amendment has been made, reducing the total number of single-family units from 278 to 227.

The first reading of the FLUM update was unanimously approved by council, and the final reading is planned for the Sept. 4 meeting.
