Single-family homes are coming to about 2 acres of land in Allen.

The details: Allen City Council members unanimously approved the rezoning of land at the northwest corner of Allen Heights Drive and Bethany Drive as a single-family residential zoning type at its April 14 meeting.

This comes after the Allen Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for the requested change at its March 17 meeting.

The site’s prior zoning is planned for agricultural and open space uses, Allen Senior Planner Kim Yockey said. This change enables the development of eight homes, city documents state. The proposed lots range from 6,000-7,900 square feet, per city documents.

The concept plan includes an access point that aligns with Bethany Lakes Park, a northbound left-turn lane and an 8-foot masonry wall, Yockey said.

Brio Italian Grille closed its Allen restaurant at Watters Creek Village, according to signage at the location.

The details: The restaurant offered margherita flatbread, lobster bisque, strawberry balsamic chicken salad, pasta alla vodka and more, per its website. Brio Italian Grille is still serving customers at its Southlake location at 1431 Plaza Place, Southlake.

“We thank our loyal guests for their continued support and hope to return to the area in the near future,” the sign states.
