Modernized Building and Construction Codes
A public hearing was scheduled on Ordinance No. 19-022026 adopting the 2021 editions of the International Code Council building, plumbing, mechanical, fuel, gas, septic, fire, and residential codes — the standards new construction in the city must meet. The minutes do not record an outcome.
Senior Living Development Approval
Lewisville's city council just approved a 110-unit independent senior living community — a solid housing add for older residents. But heads up: that's Lewisville up in the DFW area, not Garden Ridge, so nothing here changes locally. It's still a useful preview of the kind of senior-housing proposals suburban councils are fielding right now.
