The Parker Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission has approved a new estate development on 200 acres of the Southfork Ranch property bought in October 2022 by Centurion American Development Group of Farmers Branch.

The proposed development, approved Aug. 22 by P&Z, now goes before the Parker City Council.
