In a pivotal meeting on August 4, 2025, the Anna Planning and Zoning Commission approved significant changes to local housing developments, shifting from townhome lots to larger single-family detached homes. The proposal, which reduces the number of townhome lots from 93 to 49, aims to create bigger lots and lower density in the area, aligning with both the future land use plan and the downtown master plan.
During the public hearing, which saw no responses for or against the proposal, commissioners expressed strong support for the changes. "It brings the density down, which I think we like," one commissioner stated, highlighting the community's preference for less crowded living spaces. The motion to approve the request passed unanimously, reflecting a consensus on the benefits of the new development plan.
Additionally, the commission addressed the Coyote Meadows Phase 1C replat, which involved changing the existing plat from single-family attached to single-family detached homes. This change also received approval without opposition, further emphasizing the commission's commitment to enhancing residential options in Anna.
The meeting concluded with the approval of the Coyote Meadows Phase 2B preliminary plat, which will also transition to single-family detached homes. These decisions mark a significant step in shaping the future of housing in Anna, focusing on larger, more spacious living environments for residents.
