On November 9, 2005, Council met to “throw out the first pitch” of
the City’s Fiscal Year 2006 Business Plan. At the session, Council
inquired about planning the southwest Arlington area to support
quality residential development that will complement and benefit
from opportunities presented by Tierra Verde Golf Club.
The Tierra Verde Small Area Plan is a
detailed review of a portion of the Southwest Sector Plan which was
adopted on February 20, 2001. The plan contains proposed incentives
and options to maintain the goals of the Southwest Sector Plan.
In April 2006, City Council
directed staff to work with Gideon
Toal to create a Master Plan for the Target Area.
