NORTH AUSTIN/ROUND ROCK STILL GROWING STRONG

ROUND ROCK — The Round Rock City Council voted Thursday night to annex and rezone a tract of land off University Boulevard to allow for the construction of an apartment and townhome development.

The planned development will divide the 41-acre tract into two sections. One 36-acre section will house multifamily apartments, while the remaining 5 acres will be reserved for either senior living facilities or townhomes. A total of 720 units will be allowed on the property.

The City Council also agreed to spend about $20,000 on off-site infrastructure improvements — including installing traffic lights on University Boulevard and Sunrise Road — needed to develop the tract.
