About 11.5 acres (red) could be annexed into the city and switched to C3 commercial zoning along Williams Drive. Highland Village (yellow) is residential single-family zoning, although a small area next Dragon Tree Lane could see commercial uses in the future because of the subdivision’s Planned Unit Development plan. Two existing C3 retail properties are also on the north side of Williams.
