Ellis County residents have a new development on their radar, as the Commissioners' Court is set to review a replat application for Cobbs Place. The proposed change will reshape lots 1A and 1B in Block A, which is a redrawing of the existing Rhea Place, Lot 1. In a bid to rejigger original lot lines, the adjustment will create a total of two lots covering an area of approximately 19.445 acres. Situated about 505 feet northeast of where North Armstrong Road meets Sharon Lane, this site straddles the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Maypearl, falling under Road and Bridge Precinct No. 3.
People with eyes on the process will want to mark their calendars for Tuesday, January 6, 2026, when the Commissioners' Court gathers to deliberate on the matter at 2:00 PM. The venue for the meeting is none other than the historic Ellis County Courthouse, sitting at 101 West Main Street, Waxahachie, TX 75165. In the Ellis County official notice, those wanting further details or wishing to raise queries can channel their curiosity to the Department of Development by dialing 972-825-5200 or sending their inquiries via digital missive to [email protected].
If you're someone who finds themselves affected by or invested in local land developments and the potential rippling effects these decisions may have, this particular replat process is one to watch. With Ellis County's ongoing growth, decisions like these can influence not only the immediate landscape but also pave the way for future infrastructural and community planning. According to the County's public notice, a copy of the proposed replat request is available for those interested in perusing the minutiae of the rezoning initiative.
