BY LIZZY SPANGLER
At its Oct. 16 meeting, Tomball City Council approved on rst reading an ordinance to rezone two tracts of land totaling 48.95 acres to a planned development district. Multiuse development The Shoppes at Cottage Green is proposed for the site at Hwy. 249 and Brown Road and will include a mix of retail, restaurant and o ce uses; a public plaza and courtyard; and multifamily and single-family homes, according to meeting information. The rezoning request—made by Par Real Estate Holdings LLC and Ron and Amy Ha ner, who are represented by developer HMF-Americana LLC—seeks to change the property use from a mix of zoning types to a planned development district. A planned development district is a district that accommodates “planned associations of uses developed as integral land use units,” according to the city’s code of ordinances.

Quote of note
Stay tuned
“I see a lot of these [developments]. I think they’re unique; they’re di erent.
A second and nal reading of the ordinance to rezone the land should take place at council’s next meeting Nov. 6. A construction timeline for this development was not shared at the Oct. 16 meeting.
They provide an interesting product into a community that Tomball right now doesn’t necessarily have.

... I’m in favor of it.” MARK STOLL, TOMBALL CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
