The Future of Monroe Land, LTD
Located on Liberty Hill’s rapidly
expanding west side, near the
Butler Farms community and the
upcoming Mansions
development, this property is
ideally positioned to serve as a
commercial hub for residents.
The owners of Monroe Land,
LTD are requesting that the City
of Liberty Hill rezone the
property from its current PUD
designation to straight C-3
Commercial Zoning.
The current PUD allows for
Multi-Family so the change will
bring the property into alignment
with the City’s Development
Guidelines:
