Mill Creek Golf Course rezoning plans

The Village of Salado is moving forward with its plans to consider rezoning the property that makes up the Mill Creek Golf Course in Salado. That is according to Village officials who announced their plans and a timeline for the upcoming zoning process today (12/20/18). The Village is proposing to change the zoning of the 200-plus acre golf course from Single Family Residential (SF-7) to Private Recreation (PR). It is unclear exactly why the golf course property was originally zoned for residential use.

The Future Land Use Map, found in the Village of Salado Comprehensive Plan, labels the future use of the golf course property as Private Recreation (PR). “The Mill Creek Golf Course has been in existence for more than thirty (30) years,” said Salado Mayor Skip Blancett. “The reasonable and right thing to do is to change the golf course property’s zoning to match its current and historic use and the designated land use for the golf course property found in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.” According to Village officials, the proposed zoning change will not impose any additional regulations that would require a change in the operation of the golf course. Also, the zoning change would only apply to that portion of the golf course located within the corporate boundaries (i.e., city limits) of the Village.
