3 issues in development with medium priority
Pine Ridge Estates Sixth Addition and McCormick Crossing infrastructure
17 new single-family lots are coming to the near north side via the Hemingway Drive extension, including a cul-de-sac the city had to authorize. The city also secured sewer and water easements that will serve future growth north of Highway 14.
Proposed 208-unit multifamily development near Humes and Sandhill drives
A proposal would rezone 3301 and 3401 Sandhill Drive from single-family/two-family to general residence district, allowing denser housing. Public hearing set for November 23.
Crew Car Wash redevelopment of former Hardy's site
The old Hardy's restaurant site at 2328 Humes Road will become a Crew Car Wash with a four-lane queue, water reclamation system, and vacuum stations. The permit needed a one-year extension because construction hasn't started; groundbreaking is now set for spring 2027.
