City Council - Apr 13, 2026
The city is annexing about 1,260 acres west of Roundtop Road, with a concurrent push to rezone it Business Park — a district that allows data centers, light industrial, and commercial uses with no public hearing at the site-plan stage. Rolling Hills neighbors worry about noise, traffic on already-congested Happy Jack Road, well water, wildlife, view impacts, and being eventually surrounded. The real decision points come at Public Services Committee and the next two council readings.
