Development Tracker

One of the largest single developments in Willow Park's history. A mixed-use planned development along the IH-20 / FM 1187 corridor. The City of Aledo and City of Fort Worth have filed a lawsuit against Willow Park challenging aspects of the annexation and development agreement.

An ~82-acre residential development at the northeast corner of Crown Road and Meadow Place Drive, north of The Shops at Willow Park. Targeted for ~450 homes by Clearion Development Properties (developer: Skorburg Development Company / Brothers In Christ Properties), with a 17-acre dedicated green space planned to become a city park. Of the total tract, 61.4 acres were annexed March 24, 2026; the remainder was already inside the city limits. Council approved the PD/CL rezoning and the preliminary plat on April 29, 2026.

A voluntary petition to annex approximately 0.82 acres owned by Bar-Ko Land Company LLC in the James Oxer Survey (Abstract 1029). The City Council accepted the petition and called a public hearing; the annexation itself would be finalized after that hearing. This is a separate, smaller parcel from the 7.29-acre Bar-Ko Commercial tract listed below.

A voluntary petition to annex approximately 0.33 acres owned by Willow Park Services LLC in the James Oxer Survey (Abstract 1029). The City Council accepted the petition and called a public hearing; the annexation would be finalized after that hearing.

A commercial development on 7.29 acres at the northwest corner of East Bankhead Highway and Torri Court, owned by Bar-Ko Land Company LLC. The Weatherford Democrat has reported Bar-Ko is in discussions with Tractor Supply Co. for the site. The property is now both within city limits and zoned "C" Commercial; site plan and building permit work can proceed.

A proposed single-family subdivision on a 12-acre tract next to Ranch House Road Estates. The plan calls for custom homes on lots of a little over one acre each, a 3,500-square-foot minimum home size, and a target price point above $1 million — placing it at the higher end of the city's residential mix. City staff reviewed the preliminary plat and recommended approval, and the Planning & Zoning Commission approved it on July 21. Owner of record is Jo Ann Young.

The District at Willow Park (Wilks Development) requested a Specific Use Permit for a new multi-tenant pylon sign with an electronic digital message component, its message changing every 8–10 seconds. Because The District and the adjacent shops are under the same ownership, the sign is treated as an off-premises sign requiring a dedicated easement filed with Parker County. Residents raised concerns at the public hearing about how frequently the message would change. Council approved the SUP 5-0 on June 23.

The Willow Springs Oak Shopping Center requested a Specific Use Permit to convert an existing static sign to an electronic digital message sign. Digital signs require an SUP under Willow Park's ordinances. Questions were raised at the public hearing by Bill Green and Libby Afflerbach. Council approved the SUP at the March 24 meeting.

A property owner at 6603 Bankhead Highway sought to rezone 0.80 acres from R-1 Single-Family to a business district. Council denied the first request on March 24 because blanket "C" Commercial zoning would allow any type of commercial use. Council directed that a more narrowly-tailored request come back through P&Z. The new "LR" Local Retail request — a more restricted commercial class — passed unanimously on April 29.

Trinity Christian Academy requested a Specific Use Permit to update an existing pole sign to an Electronic, Informative Digital Message Sign. This followed the same SUP process the Willow Springs Oak shopping center went through in March. Council approved the SUP unanimously on April 29.

A request to rezone approximately 6 acres in the Fawcett Addition for multifamily use. The item was tabled at the February 24 meeting after significant public opposition from neighboring residents. No return date has been confirmed.
