The Lewisville City Council meeting held on May 19, 2025, focused on a proposed development plan in Castle Hills, addressing zoning regulations, traffic concerns, and community feedback. The council reviewed a concept plan that aims to maintain existing land use while introducing new structures, including a multi-family building.

Key discussions included the proposed distances between buildings and roadways, which are designed to align with the current layout of Castle Hills. The plan suggests a 350-foot separation, which is greater than previous developments in the area. Traffic concerns were also a significant topic, with a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) conducted in August 2024 indicating the need for a traffic signal at the site. This signal is expected to improve traffic flow and safety.

Council members expressed the importance of ensuring that property owners are financially responsible for the installation of necessary infrastructure, such as the traffic signal. The language in the proposal will be refined to clarify this financial accountability.

Another point of discussion was the zoning classification, specifically the G2 zoning, which traditionally does not allow for apartments. However, the current proposal is based on a customized zoning plan for the area, which permits such developments.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for residents to access city agendas online for transparency and to stay informed about upcoming discussions. The council plans to revisit the proposal in two weeks, allowing time for further community input and review of the materials posted online.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to balancing development with community needs and maintaining open communication with residents.
