Ordinance Overview

The Sherman City Council will hold a public hearing on Ordinance No. 6953 during its July 20, 2026 meeting.

The proposal affects a 18.3788 acre tract located on the 5301 block of West Houston Street.

The land is part of the E.N. Deaver Survey, Abstract No. 358, within Grayson County.

Poufar Ventures holds ownership of the property, while Flexd Development, LLC filed the application. Kimley-Horn is listed as the surveyor.

The tract is currently classified under the R-A Residential Agriculture District.
