Proposal Overview

The Van Alstyne City Council is reviewing a request from property owners identified as SOLARA regarding a parcel of + 176 acres. The land is located on the north side of FM 121, east of Hackberry Road. The developers are seeking voluntary annexation into the city limits. They also request a zoning change to a Planned Development District with an underlying SF-65 Single-Family Residential District designation. This classification would authorize a single-family residential development on the site.

Public Hearing and Action

Council members will conduct a presentation and discussion regarding a development agreement tied to the request. A public hearing will address both the annexation and the proposed zoning classification. Following the hearing, the governing body will consider and vote on the development agreement, the annexation request, and the zoning request. Each item will be accompanied by a resolution or ordinance for formal approval.

Consent Agenda Process

The items are scheduled as part of the city consent agenda. Council policy designates consent agenda items as non-controversial or administrative matters. These items typically advance through a single motion. A separate discussion can be triggered if one or more council members request it.
