800-HOME RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY PLANNED NEAR CHAPPELL HILL
Washington County officials say they are aware of a large-scale residential development in the works near Chappell Hill.
The county issued a statement today (Thursday) in response to a press release from Foxgate Capital and Amelia Homes, who announced plans to build around 800 single-family homes on 306 acres along Jozwiak Road and Chadwick Hogan Road.
The county says it has taken steps to prepare for this type of development through the adoption of updated subdivision regulations. It says higher-density developments come with associated infrastructure challenges, so it is in contact with the developer and TxDOT regarding a traffic impact analysis to evaluate current conditions and future needs.
The county adds that while it cannot stop development per state law, if said development meets all applicable regulations and standards, it can and will work with the developer to “minimize the impact to current citizens of Washington County.”
According to the developers, the project team is updating the land plan and making key infrastructure and community considerations before it finalizes a development concept for the project, which is intended to be “a neighborhood that becomes part of the area” rather than a gated community. The homes are anticipated to price between the $320,000s and $420,000s.
Project officials say they are beginning outreach with local county and state officials, community and business leaders, nearby property owners, public safety representatives and transportation agencies to ensure careful and responsible review of the plan.
The companies say they will share additional information about community engagement opportunities as they further develop the land plan and project timeline.
