Flower Mound officials OK development agreement Flower Mound Town Council approved an agreement with PH Land Holdings and Drees Custom Homes, the developers of Canyon Falls Village 3, a 65-home phase of the Canyon Falls neighborhood, during the Feb. 16 meeting. The overview Canyon Falls Village 3 35W CLEVELAND GIBBS RD. DENTON CREEK BLVD. N 338

Council votes to deny storage facility zoning Flower Mound Town Council voted to approve a storage facility by a 3-2 vote Feb. 2, but needed four votes to overrule a recommendation of denial from the planning and zoning commission. The gist The proposed indoor storage facility would have been located on an undeveloped tract of land at the northwest corner of the intersection of Flower Mound Road and Old Orchard Lane. Several residents voiced their support for the project, but those opposed cited compat- ibility concerns with nearby residences. “If there was something different, and truly better, I believe it would have hap- pened by now,” said council member Brian Taylor, referring to the undeveloped land.

The development agreement for Canyon Falls Village 3 outlines how costs for the developer and town. $5.02M: estimated cost for infrastructure projects Over $1.3M: projected impact fee credits to the developer $3.72M: reimbursement through Denton County and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2

The agreement will allow Flower Mound to be reimbursed for specific infrastructure projects that are necessary to complete the development, including the extension of Denton Creek Boule- vard and installation of water lines, according to terms of the agreement. The developer will be responsible for construct- ing parts of Denton Creek Boulevard, totaling around 1,205 linear feet and a further 2,065 linear feet of Mulkey Road, per the agreement. In addition to constructing the street and necessary traffic signals, the developer must also make water line and water reuse line improvements along both roadways, according to town documents.

SOURCE: TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND/COMMUNITY IMPACT

Going forward Town officials said work on the projects is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026 and conclude in the first quarter of 2027.

Argyle officials consider plans for future town center district Argyle Town Council, the planning and zoning commission and the comprehensive plan advisory committee met Jan. 15 to discuss plans for future commercial development at FM 407 and US 377. What happened? include Argyle Marketplace, Branded Bowls, and the town-owned property on FM 407.

“I think we just have to move down this path,” council member Martin Brading said. “It really could be a gem.” Argyle officials also discussed updating the town’s thoroughfare plan, which includes specific roadway projects and improvements, such as making FM 407 pedestrian friendly.

Investing in infrastructure From the cover

What’s happening

FM 407 breakout project

Denton County officials approved a little over $12.5 million for two local transportation projects to enhance mobility for area residents Jan 30. One of those is what officials call a “breakout project.” It’s work pulled out from the broader widening of FM 407 led by the Texas Department of Transportation, and focuses on the intersection at FM 407 and I-35W, which will involve adding a right-turn lane to FM 407 and the I-35W access road, respectively, on the west side of the intersection. Other improvements included in the $3.03 million project are adding drainage, updating pavement markings and updating vehicle deflection walls at the FM 407 overpass for I-35W. Dianne Edmondson, Denton County Precinct 4 commissioner, said the project should help with the broader widening of FM 407 from four to six lanes from Bill Cook Road to FM 1830 in Argyle, which could get environmental clearance in June. “We have taken the initiative to help the state with this project by getting [the] initial set-up completed so that [the FM 407 widening] might be finished earlier,” Edmondson said in an email. Tila Grant, a public information officer with TxDOT, said these improvements are the first portion of the $35 million-$40 million project in the area, which is currently unfunded. Based on state traffic count data, the number of average daily trips increased from 14,326 in 2019 to 21,051 in 2024 west of the FM 407 and I-35W intersection. East of the intersection, traffic has gone from 12,216 to 15,325 average daily trips. “The fast-paced population growth across Denton County has brought increased traffic into the FM 407 corridor,” Edmondson said. “The project on FM 407 in [the] Northlake/Argyle area has been in the making a long time.”

Flower Mound officials are also working with Grapevine on an easement to allow three eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes on Lakeside Parkway between town limits and SH 121 to further enhance the road’s capacity. The entire project will cost $14.2 million, with Denton County contributing $9.5 million.

10,934 increased truck traffic and future development, Hotelling added. Because of increased traffic from 2021-2025, Flower Mound officials said the roadway does not meet recommended standards of a major arterial as outlined in the town’s thoroughfare plan. “There is increased traffic volume in the area, and currently Lakeside Parkway does not meet the cross-section of a major arterial roadway,” said Dale Crown, Flower Mound assistant director of engineering, in an email.

The second project funded by county officials is a widening of Lakeside Parkway in Flower Mound from four to six lanes. The project spans from FM 2499 to the town’s eastern border. The project also includes adding two traffic signals at the intersection of Lakeside Parkway and Silveron Boulevard and Lakeside and Enterprise Drive to better manage increased traffic conges- tion, said Matthew Hotelling, Flower Mound’s assistant director of public works. Additional signals along Lakeside are necessary because of

TxDOT officials are still working to identify funding for the FM 407 widening and do not have a timeline for that project at this time, Grant said. Crown said the Lakeside Parkway widening will begin in the late summer.

Sharing the funding for local road projects increases mobility and “efficiently uses taxpayer dollars,” Crown said. Without county funds, Flower Mound officials said other projects could be delayed. “These voter-approved funds allow us to work with our towns and cities on road projects that are important within their communities for better transportation

Little Joe’s Farmstead funds mission with fresh foods

Little Joe’s Farmstead serves farm-fresh foods with all proceeds given to pediatric oncology patients and their families, owner Jim Reid said. Little Joe’s opened in Argyle on Oct. 1, 2024. It is dedicated to Reid’s son, Kevin, who passed away after battling cancer, according to its website. The diner is based o Little Matt’s, which Reid opened in Houston in 2009 before giving it to a new owner who went through a similar journey as Reid. The impact The proceeds made from Little Joe’s directly impacts families by helping them fund the child’s chemotherapy, radiation treatments and everyday nancial burdens, such as house costs and car payments, Reid said. “It’s driven from a personal experience with myself [and] my son who was diagnosed at 3½ years old with cancer,” he said. “I witnessed the devastation that happens with families that come into that world.” Many families who have children with cancer experience divorce and bankruptcy, Reid said. “The whole purpose is to try to keep families together,” he said. “Once the family breaks up, that is generational, and it’s heartbreaking to me.” What’s on the menu? Reid created a menu using organic meat and

vegetables to meet the needs of children dealing with allergies or who may be immune decient due to their cancer treatments, he said. Little Joe’s also serves ice cream and dessert at The Scoop, a walk-up shop attached to the restaurant that opened in July 2025. “The whole purpose here is to attract children, parents and families,” Reid said. “That’s what we’re about, plain and simple. We wanted a better experience for the parents when they bring the kids.” Popular menu items include the chicken enchi- ladas, which uses Reid’s mother’s recipe, he said. The diner also serves salads and sandwiches, including the Alys Beach sandwich, which has grilled chicken breast, sun-dried tomatoes, basil pesto, goat cheese, arugula and Kalamata olives served on grilled sourdough bread, according to Little Joe’s website. Looking ahead Reid is planning on enhancing the outdoor dining space with trees, trails and owers for guests to enjoy in the spring. “[The garden nursery] is really cute,” he said. “We got chicken [and] rabbit coops for the kids to look at. We emphasize the kids coming up here and being able to have a good time. They can play. They can run in a safe environment, [and] moms can enjoy it.”

Reid plans to enhance the outdoor dining space with trees, trails and owers for guests to enjoy in the spring.

Flower Mound retail submarket sees vacancies grow, per Weitzman report

One more thing

Across Dallas-Fort Worth the occupancy rate in retail space for 2025 was 95.3%, according to previous reporting. The occupancy rate was an increase from 2024 when it was 95.1%. “We are truly in a great market,” Young said. “Even when we face challenges, we face them together. We use the term ‘coopetition’ for the way our industry and our cities work together for the region’s greater good.”

An annual report from Texas-based real estate firm Weitzman showed higher year-over-year vacancies within the Flower Mound submarket in 2025. The data was included in a report published following Weitzman’s 2026 Annual Forecast, an event where Executive Managing Director Bob Young presented a look back at the retail market’s performance in 2025 along with a forecast for 2026. The report has information on vacancy, an inventory of commercial space and new construction over the last year. In the Flower Mound submarket, the 2025 year-end vacancy rate for commercial space was 3.41%, an increase from the 2.58% vacancy rate at the end of 2024, per the report.

Flower Mound commercial submarket Flower Mound’s overall gross leasable area stayed the same from 2024 to 2025, while the vacancy rate rose to 3.41% from 2.58% year-over-year.
