Partnership Study Program Interlocal Agreements

Planned Development District
Kyle just expanded the Katy Court Planned Development District to rope in the last bit of available land, setting the stage for fresh local growth. If you live or shop around here, this means new development is officially on the horizon.
Onsite Employee Benefit and Retention Support
Providing financial assistance for health insurance and paid time off to retain experienced onsite property management and maintenance staff.
Corporate Headquarters Development
Kyle is one step closer to landing a massive $1.35 billion AT&T corporate headquarters. If it goes through, this project is going to seriously shake up the local economy.
Development Ordinance
Kyle is keeping an eye on neighboring Fulshear's playbook after they just updated their rules to allow massive 2-acre home sites. If this trend catches on locally, it could completely change what new neighborhoods look like and how much housing costs in our backyard.
Plum Creek Phase 2 Residential Expansion
Two new sections of Plum Creek Phase 2 (5A and 5B) received final plat approval, adding over 400 residential lots and new streets off Rikardson.
Housing Authority Operational Stability

Subdivision Standards and Exceptions
Get ready, Kyle! A massive new development just got the green light. This means a huge influx of new homes and businesses is on the way to our rapidly growing city.
Commercial Building Material Compliance
Commissioners wrestled with a recurring problem where commercial developers change exterior materials during construction without permission and then ask for forgiveness later. While frustrated by the broken process, the commission approved the change because the materials still complied with highway design rules.
Haberer Family Subdivision Platting
The Haberer family is formalizing a 35-acre estate split on Satterwhite Road into three large residential lots matching historical family boundaries. Because one lot relies on a flagpole access and joint easement, the commission had to grant specific subdivision exceptions before approving the plat.
Green Pastures Drive Lot Replat
Albino and Olga Lopez are splitting their 1.37-acre property on Green Pastures Drive into two roughly 0.69-acre lots so their son can build a home. While city code normally requires one acre for septic-served lots, county and state rules allow half-acre lots if tied to public water, prompting a supportive recommendation from staff and commissioners.
Hays County Administrative Building
Concerns regarding traffic safety and the use of dedicated parkland for county offices.
Savannah Ranch Infrastructure Financing

Foreign Trade Zone Designation for ENF (Kyle) Technology LLC
Kyle's housing market is exploding, but the city needs to catch up on bringing in businesses and the fun stuff like parks and restaurants. It's all about balancing growth so the city doesn't just become a bedroom community.
VFW Property Stability
The Kyle VFW is seeking ownership of the city-owned land they occupy to secure their future and access grant funding for community services.
Stormwater Drainage Property Acquisition and Condemnation
