The League City Planning and Zoning meeting on August 4, 2025, focused on the development of new homes adjacent to the South Shore Harbor golf course. The proposed project aims to increase the local tax base and accommodate more residents in the area.
During the meeting, discussions highlighted the construction of one-story garden homes on lots of at least 50 feet wide. The developers emphasized their commitment to preserving existing trees and maintaining the aesthetics of the neighborhood, with plans for a gated access road that will not alter the current landscape significantly.
Concerns were raised about the potential impact on the golf course and the surrounding community. However, it was noted that this development represents the last available land for construction on the golf course, which has been operational for over 40 years. The developers assured attendees that the golf course would remain intact and that no further developments are planned in the near future.
Community members expressed support for the project, indicating that the new homes would meet the needs of residents looking to downsize. The meeting concluded with a sense of optimism about the development, as it aims to fill a gap in housing options while preserving the character of the neighborhood.
Overall, the proposed development is seen as a positive step towards enhancing the community and providing more housing opportunities in League City.
