Bryan city council tables rezoning request for a residential/retail development near the RELLIS campus

This podcast contains comments from the January 14, 2025 Bryan city council meeting.

The Bryan city council is considering a developer's proposal to build what would be the first residential and retail project near the RELLIS campus.

The proposal calls for retail along Highway 21. Behind that would be multi-family housing. And behind that would be single family homes.

The council at January's meeting tabled a rezoning request for up to 90 days.

Jared Salvato, who made the motion that was unanimously approved, said he could not make an educated decision about the proposed master planned community due the lack of details in writing.

Mayor Bobby Gutierrez asked the developer for something similar to what was done by developers of east Bryan's Oakmont community.

Salvato, Gutierrez, and councilwoman Marca Ewers-Shurtleff were among those bringing up that this is the first development of its kind in the RELLIS area, and the council wanted to set the standard that will be followed by others.
