A 52.6-acre site by the Creek Turnpike could shift from job-heavy designations to a mix of commercial, light industrial, and residential. A frontage road connecting Kenosha and Houston streets must have right-of-way dedicated and could relieve dangerous traffic at the Tractor Supply intersection.
Planning Commission - Apr 23, 2026
A 52.6-acre site near the Creek Turnpike is being repositioned for a future mix of commercial, light industrial, and single-family homes. The plan requires a future frontage road connecting Kenosha and Houston Streets along the turnpike, which developers will dedicate in phases during platting.
