The Granbury City Council has taken actions to pave the way for a 63-lot development on 12.94 acres on East Moore Street east of the Granbury Cemetery and near the Hood County Senior Center.
At its regular meeting this week, the council voted unanimously in favor of three requests by Blue Diamond Builders related to the development.
It amended the Future Land Use Map contained within the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, rezoned the proposed development’s acreage from Interim Holding to Planned Development, and approved a preliminary plat.
There is currently a development moratorium in the city, but it does not apply to projects that were in the pipeline prior to the building ban being imposed. According to Communications Manager Jeff Newpher, the Blue Diamond project falls into that category.
The freeze on construction is due to a delay caused by opposition to the proposed site for a second wastewater treatment plant on the east side of town.
A subsequent final plat with accepted engineering will be required prior to development of the site.
If the project receives final approval, the new neighborhood will contain patio homes in its interior and cottage-style houses with recessed garages along its exterior. The homes will feature Hardie Board siding.
Patio homes are typically joined together by a wall, or by a yard. In this case, they will be separated by a yard.
Lots will range from about 5,000 to 7,000 square feet, and roads within the development will be publicly dedicated.
