The Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday took a hard stance against the unbridled growth invading the Hill Country by voting down a zoning request allowing the densely populated “horizontal apartments” aimed at Old Fredericksburg Road.
A Dallas-based development company, Provident Realty Advisors, is looking to build nearly 230 detached and attached units across 23 acres at 6 Old Fredericksburg Road north of the sprawling Lemon Creek live-work-play development and just south of the controversial Southglen subdivision east of the Geneva School of Boerne. However, the Boerne planners opposed the density that doesn’t match the city’s future land-use map, which limits the area to two to six homes per acre.
The Parchaus development would have just over nine units per acre, making it a unique type of development cropping up around Boerne and the state where several homes are built on a single lot.
