Following a thorough presentation by a resident of a nearby subdivision, Weatherford city council members Tuesday voted to hold off on approving the final plat for the Waterford Park Subdivision.
The 44.2-acre property was zoned in September of 2003 as a planned development. In 2004, the property was sold to a different developer. A master preliminary plat was filed and approved in March of 2020, and the property was sold again in October.
Director of Development and Neighborhood Services Kaleb Kentner said the city is limited by the Texas local government code in what it can and can t do regarding vesting rights of developers. Though the property has seen three different owners in a 19-year span, it s vested rights remain from 2003.

Weatherford Place 2 City Councilmember Jeff Robinson began a discussion Tuesday night about the need of additional funding for the Weatherford Public Library.
Over the years, the Parker County commissioners court has approved $40,000 in funding annually to the Weatherford Public Library, with that amount increasing to $51,000 this fiscal year. However, the libraryâs budget is more than $1 million annually, Robinson said.
âI think the issue that I have is that it may be that thatâs all the county can afford at this point â I would certainly like to see that amount go up â but there is a clause in [the contract] that says if we accept the $51,000, then the county residents have to be given the exact privileges of the citizens of Weatherford,â he said.
