Flower Mound's Planning and Zoning Commission made significant strides in the development of a new Hindu temple during their June 23, 2025, meeting. The commission reviewed plans for the temple, focusing on compatibility with surrounding properties and addressing community concerns.

The proposed temple site, located near Old Sellers Road, is designed to minimize visibility from the road, thanks to existing trees on the Flower Mound High School property that will remain undisturbed. The developers are seeking exceptions to certain zoning requirements, including a compatibility buffer and roof slope, to accommodate the temple's design needs.

Key discussions included the temple's drainage system, which has been engineered to manage water runoff effectively, addressing concerns about flat roofs and potential drainage issues. The timeline for construction was also a focal point, with Phase 1 expected to be completed before the design of Phase 2 begins, projected to take an additional six to twelve months.

Parking was another critical topic, as the temple's design currently includes 87 parking spaces, which meets the town's requirements based on the number of seats in the main sanctuary. However, discussions about potential overflow parking options, including the possibility of utilizing nearby school facilities, were also raised to ensure adequate space for visitors.

The meeting concluded with public support for the project, highlighting the community's interest in the temple's development. As the project moves forward, the Planning and Zoning Commission will continue to monitor its progress and address any emerging concerns from residents.
