City of Keller land use
Keller is 11,800 acres and roughly 90% built out Single-family residential zoning Commercial/city zoning Mixed use/ open-space zoning
As the city of Keller approaches its maximum build-out population of roughly 52,000 people, applications for new residential developments in the area continue to rise due to desirability to live in the city. Keller o cials are focused on approving smaller communities since the population already reached 47,476 people in 2024, according to a March presentation from City Manager Aaron Rector. “I’m personally looking for proposals by developers who understand that Keller is special and are willing to invest in neighborhoods that work with our topography, address any neighbor concerns and blend with the surrounding developments,” Keller Mayor Armin Mizani said. The city has multiple developments in the works, including neighborhoods like Armstrong Hills and the Summit at Center Stage. Many projects cater to people who want to settle long-term in Keller, said Capital Reality Developer Sam Pan, who is working on the Summit at Center Stage. “The great schools and this small-town feel, it’s a tight-knit, safe community,” Pan said. “We saw an opportunity to provide some accessibility to these perks that people obviously desire.”

What’s happening?
“As Keller reaches build out, it has become more critical than ever for City Council to consider the quality and character of the projects we approve.”
Rector said city leaders should focus on prefera- ble development since growth will continue. “Keller is long past its days of massive residen- tial project proposals,” Rector said. Mizani said Keller officials are also looking into developments that help lower taxes while main- taining its infrastructure and amenities.
When Keller officials previously considered new housing developments, residents expressed concern at council meetings about the population exceeding 50,000 people, which will cost the city more than $1 million per year from added state and federal regulations, such as road infrastructure costs, according to previous reporting.
