Council approves first reading to annex roughly 70 acres for Provident Realty Advisors

The Grand Prairie City Council on Wednesday approved first reading of an ordinance to annex approximately 70 acres of land that Provident Realty Advisors purchased, folding the parcel into the city's PD-454A zoning district.

Deputy City Attorney Tiffany Bull told the council the area is a gap in the city limits surrounded by existing city territory and that annexation would add the parcel into the planned development. "Provident Realty Advisors has purchased this land, and they are seeking to annex it into the city," Bull said in presenting the item.

Council discussed logistics and proximity to the new fire station; staff noted the area is south of the planned station and that the developer has been working with the city on potential future station locations and land contributions. The council voted to approve the first reading and set the final public hearing and second reading for April 21, 2026.

The vote advances the annexation process; additional hearings and the second reading are scheduled before any final change in boundary or zoning occurs.
