At a recent New Braunfels City Council Meeting, plans to redevelop a 150-year-old grain mill into a high-intensity project were discussed. The council granted preliminary approval to an unnamed developer for the project. The site, situated near the Comal River and Tube Chute, is currently zoned for high-intensity mixed-use development. This will allow the developer to transform over 9 acres of riverfront land into a mixed-use complex featuring:
– A boutique hotel
– Restaurants
– Retail spaces
– Office spaces
– A 400-car parking garage
The rezoning approval comes with certain conditions in line with city goals such as conducting a parking study, incorporating pedestrian-friendly design elements, maintaining setbacks from nearby homes and providing screening for loading docks and equipment. Additionally, part of the design plan includes repurposing the existing silos on site.
According to Ashley Farrimond from law firm [Name], who is involved in this project as partner stated that it aims at blending historic preservation with urban renewal.
In summary: Plans have been approved by New Braunfels City Council for an unnamed developer to redevelop an old grain mill into a high-intensity mixed-use complex near Comal River and Tube Chute. Conditions include meeting city goals like conducting studies and incorporating pedestrian-friendly designs while also preserving some historic elements such as repurposing existing silos on site.
