New development could bring large subdivision to the city's westside

Braselton Homes is planning to build hundreds of homes near the Corpus Christi Speedway.

During Tuesday's Corpus Christi City Council meeting, a public hearing will be held to discuss an ordinance amending the city's water master plan with the addition of a 12-inch water line on Saratoga Boulevard, southeast of Old Brownsville Road and northwest of County Road 35.

The proposed development will be called Saratoga Ridge and consists of 965 single-family homes on more than 257 acres of land.
