The Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommendation to the city council for approval of a new subdivision pre-plat proposal in Tortosa Monday evening during its meeting at City Hall.
The “Trails at Tortosa” subdivision would encompass 287 acres for 1,052 single family residential lots on the site, which is generally located at the northwest corner of Murphy and Honeycutt roads.
Construction would be broken up into three phases over six years, said Kazi Haque, zoning administrator for the city.
However, before that process begins, the commission recommended city staff research ways to improve access to the area for emergency responders.
