Development
BY GRACIE WARHURST
City considers Woodside active adult community Developer Blake Magee Company proposed expanding the Woodside Municipal Utility Dis- trict to include an additional 162.5-acre tract at a May 26 City Council workshop. The request would annex the land into city limits to create a new age-restricted residential development. The overview The development is part of a partnership with Pulte Homes and would be modeled after Del Webb’s Sun City Texas active adult community. The plan includes 520 single-family units on the new land, as well as a request to transition an adjacent 140 homes to active adult. What they’re saying The proposal exceeds the city’s MUD policy, which caps age-restricted housing at 10%. Exceed- ing this cap conflicts with the city’s goal of providing
Bluffview to bring homes, apartments Georgetown City Council members approved the creation and funding to support the Bluffview Public Improvement District at a May 12 meeting. The neighborhood project will bring 105 single-family homes and 181 multifamily units to southwest Georgetown. Digging deeper Located on 68 acres near Leander Road and the Southwest Bypass, the residential project will be developed in phases, starting with a roughly 29-acre portion dedicated to 105 single-family homes. Future phases will include 181 multifamily units. The project includes building new streets, water and wastewater lines, drainage systems and recreation spaces. The city will issue $4.56 million in special revenue bonds for the first phase of improvements.

However, Amy Payne, a senior project manager with Blake Magee, said the housing market shows a need for age-restricted communities, and the traditional homes in Woodside are selling slowly. What’s next The developers said they will take the feedback on the development terms back to their team for further review before moving forward.
