Rainwater Crossing, a 641-acre planned community in Celina, will now have more open space and dedicated parkland, wider sidewalks, more amenity centers and updated zoning after City Council approved an updated development agreement during a special meeting Aug. 21.

The development with its new agreement, which replaces the one approved in 2016, will still be located west and east of future Custer Road and north of County Road 130.

Changes include fewer multi-family units, from 1,483 to 1,300, plus the addition of 300 tiny homes for rent. Single-family zoning will be on 2,200 lots and include townhomes and homes with a range of lot sizes from 40 feet to 70 feet or larger.

“There’s schools and parks. It’s an integrated neighborhood with a mix of lot sizes and several amenity centers,” said Dustin McAfee, the city’s executive director of development services.

Residents voiced concerns about the tiny homes, buffers between their homes and the proposed development, light pollution, traffic, future water usage, and roadway conditions that could worsen before new roads are built to accommodate the neighborhoods.
