6 issues in development
Panda Express and Quick Quack at Main Street and Neroly Road
A drive-through Panda Express and Quick Quack car wash are approved for a long-vacant city-owned gateway corner. Conditions include an 8-foot wall shielding the neighboring mobile home park, limited hours, shielded lighting, and soil cleanup verification.
110 new homes on East Cypress Road (Peixoto Ranch)
Finishing the four-year, $16.5 million widening project needs another $860,000 for concrete, fill, and higher material and labor costs. The Council approved the contingency at its meeting.
3920 Empire Avenue Commercial Redesignation
The last undeveloped residential corner at a major intersection (Empire and Laurel) may flip to commercial, enabling a future rezone. A longtime resident is adamantly opposed, and others worry about traffic safety near Laurel Elementary. Just early feedback — the City Council will weigh in next.
Hacienda Estates Subdivision on Sellers Avenue
Five families who jointly own 5.4 acres off Sellers Avenue want to split it into five roughly one-acre lots. The map is the first step; actual homes would need design review later. Nearby land is mostly rural residences and undeveloped county land.
Delta Pointe Plaza Police Tax and CFD Annexation
The mixed-use Delta Pointe Plaza project was annexed into the city's special police tax area as Zone 202 and the parks district, with the property owner footing the costs. It will pay about $2,695 a year to offset its police service impact.
Four-lot subdivision on Douglas Road
A 1.1-acre parcel on Douglas Road can now be split into four buildable lots, opening the door for future single-family homes in an established neighborhood.
