Tallgrass, an approximately 621-acre property traversed by the Chisholm Trail Parkway and FM 1902, is planned as a complete community that will serve as the western gateway to Burleson. The property is located in the City of Burleson ETJ, transforming a rural area into a vibrant place for living, working, and connecting. Tallgrass is envisioned as a community where residents connect with one another and with the park and open space environment. A framework of open spaces, trails, and parks is integrated with diverse housing, employment opportunities, and commercial services. Thoughtful design standards ensure architecture, streets, and public spaces help to foster interaction, conserve natural resources, and celebrate local culture. Walkability is emphasized throughout Tallgrass, with sidewalks, shared use paths, and pedestrian connections that create safe and enjoyable access to parks, schools, neighborhoods, and activity centers. These connections help to support community vitality and reduce reliance on cars. The design principles and guidelines presented in this book establish the residential building and site design, and public realm character of the residential neighborhoods of Tallgrass. These guidelines provide a balance of specificity and flexibility, supporting high-quality development and the long-term vision for this community. They communicate the desired quality, identity, and enduring character of Tallgrass.
