Got a call from a friend of mine. He owns some real estate on Liberty Grove. He said there was a zoning request coming up on April 15th, or so. The re-zoning was requested for the 58 acres that has been mentioned previously in this blog. The applicant is requesting a residential zoning. This is the same land that staff said was well engineered and designed, then proceeded to recommend denial of the request. The consultant flew in from Denver to add support to the blah, blah, blah, blah, and saving the site for a credit card processing center. That was all only about a year ago. Do you think staff will recommend denial again? Do you think P&Z will recommend denial again? Do you think the consultant will fly in to plead denial again?
My goodness, how times change. Wha' happened? Fully developed, this project would contribute about $620K-$650K to Rowlett's annual income stream in about 5-6 years. It would average about $12 million a year in additions to the tax base. It should be of great interest to you to see who votes to deny the re-zoning request. Maybe the dam will burst and there will be a great out flowing of brilliance as to why it was denied in the first place. Oh, yeah. I remember. A credit card processing center and residential just didn't fit the Northshore plan for warehouses and office buildings...........and it's coming. Promise.
