Town Council approved a rezoning request that could bring a new medical and professional office building to The Meadows neighborhood.
The Details
Location: Southwest corner of Meadows Boulevard and Prairie Hawk Drive (New Hope Presbyterian Church property)
What's planned: Medical and professional office building on 1.5 acres west of the church
Building height limit: 50 feet
The rezoning removes higher-intensity commercial uses from the property and caps building heights. If it's ultimately approved, the developer plans to subdivide 1.5 acres for the office building while the church remains.
Why It Matters
This would add healthcare and professional services directly in The Meadows, reducing the need for residents to drive elsewhere for routine appointments. The reduced intensity and height limits suggest a building that fits the residential character of the area.
What Happens Next
Town Council approved the rezoning ordinance (ORD 2026-008) on first reading, 7-0, on March 3, 2026. It appeared on a second-reading agenda March 24, 2026, but the Town's Legistar record has no recorded vote for that item, and the ordinance's status is still "Second Reading" with no enactment date as of Oct. 12, 2026 — more than six months later. We could not confirm from the public record whether it passed, failed, or was continued; development can't proceed until second reading is approved.
