A proposed 20-home development on Bindseil Lane reaches the Garden Ridge City Council on Wednesday, when council members are scheduled to hold a public hearing and consider changing the property’s zoning from agriculture to Residential Estate.
The 20.16-acre property is at 8474 Bindseil Lane. Scott Felder Homes submitted the application for a development identified in the packet as Highgrove. The request is an entitlement step: rezoning would allow the proposed use, but it would not by itself approve a final plat or establish that the homes will be built.
According to the city staff summary, the plan calls for 20 residential estate lots averaging about three-quarters of an acre. The same summary says anticipated homes would range from 2,600 to 4,800 square feet, with estimated base prices from $759,000 to $1 million. Those figures describe the submitted proposal, not completed homes or guaranteed sale prices.
Staff says the Residential Estate designation is consistent with the city’s Future Land Use Plan, which marks the property for low-density residential development. The packet also says infrastructure questions would continue through the plat process, subdivision rules and development review if the zoning is approved.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has already reviewed the request and recommended approval on a 3-1 vote, according to the council packet. That recommendation is advisory. City Council holds the authority to approve, deny or modify the rezoning request after its own public hearing.
The hearing is scheduled during the council’s 6 p.m. Aug. 5 meeting at 9400 Municipal Parkway. The consequential questions at this stage are whether Residential Estate zoning is approved and what conditions, if any, accompany the decision. A later plat would provide the more detailed layout and infrastructure record needed before the proposal advances further.
The council packet frames the request as a choice about the property’s allowable land use. The proposed lot count, home sizes and prices remain elements of the applicant’s plan rather than outcomes guaranteed by a zoning vote.
