In an effort to make Buda a more affordable place to live, city leaders unanimously approved a zoning change 5-0 Oct. 3 for a mixed housing development.
The change, which Assistant City Manager Chance Sparks said was part of a first of its kind development agreement, would have a developer build three different types of single-family homes on property along Hillside Terrace. Council members Lee Urbanovsky and Wiley Hopkins were absent from the meeting.
Sparks said the developer and landowner started the annexation process in August. However, the developer chose to meet with the nearby neighborhoods to get their feedback on the type of housing development they wanted to see before approaching the city’s Planning and Zoning commission about rezoning.
