Developers alter plan for Grapevine townhomes During a joint meeting with the Grapevine City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission Jan. 20, both entities voted to approve amendments to a planned development overlay for The Reserve at Bear Creek, rst approved in 2018. What’s happening? Erica Marhonic, Grapevine’s director of planning services, said that Arizona-based developer BB Living is a prospective purchaser and has plans to nish the project. The developer requested a change to the proposed building elevations, reducing the height of the 69 townhomes from three stories to two stories. The presentation stated that some of the 13.6 acres have been developed, with a masonry wall surrounding the property and roads poured. According to the presentation, the townhomes will be sold individually rather than rented.

Dove Road and is adding that into one of the open spaces and making a sixth lot.
