The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission convened on March 5, 2025, to discuss several key zoning changes and updates from previous meetings. The session began with a brief citizen participation segment, where no comments were made regarding items not on the agenda.

The commission moved swiftly through the consent agenda, which was approved unanimously without any items being pulled for discussion. Following this, Erin provided a report on zoning and planning items from the January 27, 2025, city council meeting. The sole item discussed was a zoning change for a property located at 15115 Coal Meyer, which transitioned from agricultural and residential zoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). This change included stipulations for a minimum unit size of 1,700 square feet and the construction of a sidewalk connecting the development to a nearby elementary school. The council approved this change with a vote of 5 to 2.

Next, the commission reviewed a zoning change request for 1211 Ferris Drive, shifting the classification from R-5 condominium to R-1 single-family residential. This request was deemed straightforward, with no public comments received. The commission noted that the change aligns with the future land use map and is consistent with the surrounding residential area. The motion to approve this change passed unanimously, and it will proceed to the city council for final approval on March 17, 2025.

Lastly, the commission discussed an amendment to the Tuscan Village Planned Unit Development, which encompasses approximately 17.462 acres for multifamily housing and cottages. This amendment aims to update the existing ordinance to reflect current development plans.

The meeting concluded without further public participation or questions, indicating a smooth process for the proposed zoning changes and amendments. The outcomes of these discussions will shape the future development landscape of Lakeway, ensuring alignment with community planning goals.
