The Flower Mound Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved the site plan for Watermere Phase 2, a new high-density residential development aimed at providing age-restricted housing. Located west of Wyburn Drive and south of Dixon Lane, this project will feature nine building villas designed to cater to older adults, fulfilling a growing demand for such housing options in the community.

The approved plan includes a total of 36 parking spaces, with 30 designated for garages and six for guest parking, meeting the town's parking requirements. Access to the development will be facilitated via Dixon Lane and Wyburn Drive, ensuring convenient entry for residents and visitors alike. The landscaping plan aligns with previous approvals, incorporating necessary modifications to accommodate existing utility easements.

During the meeting, the commission discussed minor amendments to the original concept plan, which had been approved in November 2024. These adjustments included slight changes to the building elevations and grading, but they did not require a full re-evaluation of the concept. The commission expressed satisfaction with the updated plans, leading to a unanimous vote in favor of the project.

In addition to the Watermere Phase 2 discussion, the commission also reviewed a specific use permit for Alloy Personal Training, a proposed health club located on Churchill Drive. This facility will occupy an existing building designed for medical and office use, and it is expected to meet parking requirements without necessitating any site changes. While there was some public opposition noted, no formal objections were submitted during the meeting.

The approval of Watermere Phase 2 is a significant step towards enhancing housing options for seniors in Flower Mound, reflecting the town's commitment to addressing the needs of its aging population. As the project moves forward, it will contribute to the community's growth and diversity, aligning with broader goals of sustainable development and inclusive living spaces.
