Conroe density cap approval reported; effective date unclear

Conroe City Council reportedly approved an amendment setting a maximum density of six dwelling units per gross acre for unit developments under Chapter 94, Section 94-255, at its Oct. 22, 2026, meeting, according to OpenTexas and a Lake Conroe Area News report. The city’s meeting agenda confirms the ordinance was considered but does not establish final adoption.

OpenTexas reports a 4–1 vote and warns its meeting summaries are AI-generated and may contain errors. The newsroom could not independently verify the reported tally against approved minutes or an accessible official recording.

At six units per gross acre, the arithmetic is 60 units on 10 gross acres or 30 on five. Those examples do not establish whether a particular project is covered by Section 94-255. The agenda describes an ordinance that would provide for an effective date but gives no calendar date; the final ordinance text and effective date have not been confirmed, so the cap cannot be described as currently in force.
