Members of the Boerne City Council approved another amendment to the seemingly ever-controversial Boernebak, or Corley Farms, development, reducing the overall lot count by nine. But the move is a drop in the bucket in the way of more than the 1,100-home and the expansive commercial and multi-family development.
The change allowed the northern most tract, Tract 14, of the development to go from 30 single-family lots to a single lot with 35 detached homes. It’s the first of two districts to be platted and developed as it was split and includes 373 acres with hundreds of single-family lots and 40.3 acres of multifamily and commercial development.
Supplying utilities to the sprawling development has been enveloped in controversy since its beginning. Boerne was offered first rights to supply water in 2016, but the size of the project left leaders opting out. Records showed this sparked a series of controversial measures.
