Bennett McCartan of Public Works and consultant Stephanie Nysos (Freese Nichols) summarized the study. Staff told the committee the analysis used a 10‑year growth assumption of roughly 1.6% per year, converted water connections to living‑unit equivalents (LUEs) and estimated 4,912 new LUEs over the 10‑year period. The report identifies existing projects with excess capacity and proposed projects needed to serve growth; those projects and utilization percentages determine the maximum allowable impact fee calculations.

McCartan explained the calculation method and noted the resulting maximum allowable fees: $3,197 per service unit for water and $3,181 per service unit for wastewater. “All of our numbers here… we have our maximum allowable impact fee for water, dollars 3,197, on wastewater, $3,181,” McCartan said. Staff recommended maintaining the current fee schedule rather than raising fees to the new maximums.

Committee members asked procedural questions and requested a possible plant tour for members to better understand system infrastructure and costs. Commissioner Ingram moved to recommend the land‑use assumptions, capital improvements plan and assessment schedule be forwarded to City Council; Commissioner Bradford Brown seconded. The motion passed 7‑0. The item will go to City Council for a public hearing and final adoption.","The Capital Improvement Advisory Committee recommended to City Council keeping the current water and wastewater impact fees after an update that set maximum allowable fees at about $3,197 (water) and $3,181 (wastewater).

The change would allow retail uses on a site staff described as suitable for local office/retail commercial under the comprehensive plan.

Staff presenter (identified on the record as Schwinger) said the property is currently zoned professional office and noted adjacent uses include Mason Elementary to the north, a daycare to the south, and single‑family residences to the east and west. “The comprehensive plan identifies this property is suitable for local office retail commercial,” the staff presentation stated.

Several commissioners asked about building permits that had been submitted before zoning was approved. The transcript records a building‑permit record “in queue” with a May 7 entry for a 2,294‑square‑foot shell building described as a restaurant. Assistant Director Veda David told the commission that a restaurant is permitted in the professional office district under special conditions and that the proposed retail uses are the trigger for the requested rezoning. “A restaurant is actually permitted in the Provisional Office zoning district. So in that case, it's no issue with the zoning,” David said.

Commissioners questioned how proximity rules for alcoholic‑beverage establishments would apply. City staff explained that the 300‑foot/1,000‑foot separation rules referenced in the code apply to alcoholic‑beverage establishments (bars/package liquor) and that a restaurant with alcohol sales can qualify under a definition that considers a percentage of sales. Assistant City Attorney Joe Hoffman added that “regardless if y'all were to approve the zoning tonight, and alcoholic beverage sales was allowed in that, but one of them was proposed within the prohibited spacing requirements, it would not be allowed.”

Anthony Good, the applicant’s engineer, described the site plan and said the smallest building near the courtyard is the proposed restaurant; he added that the developer has received inquiries from prospective tenants but has not finalized leases. Good confirmed the developer intends a mix of professional office and retail uses.

The commission had two registered supporters and no registered opponents on the public record. Commissioner Antel moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Wernicke seconded. The motion carried 7‑0 and will be forwarded to City Council for public hearing and final action.","The commission unanimously recommended rezoning a nearly 3-acre site at 1401 North Lakeline from professional office to local business to permit retail uses; commissioners probed building-permit timing, proximity to Mason Elementary, and alcohol/spacing rules.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6487486,"Planning commission recommends FLUP amendment, rezoning for 32.4-acre Scottsdale Drive site",1507,214000,1721000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602136-492866e9165d969fc51ce26259a51c3e&start=214&end=1721","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602136-492866e9165d969fc51ce26259a51c3e/thumbnail_214000.jpg","/articles/6487486/Cedar-Park/Williamson-County/Texas/Planning-commission-recommends-FLUP-amendment-rezoning-for-324-acre-Scottsdale-Drive-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6487486-5f149984f54ab00a0c363dc5720faa1a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145735&Signature=Rnk~jduyYL-cLFbNLsHTYolN9x1tVPwdWJ6ssvpJnU0NC7gAKOvKRdqSRqtcHabdAR-uhsG1n0AlzHgs4kavIV4u4XoTYbzJwywvCRkxaZBicpAutJqmZHhcF6SPKNLkMq4PTnpcXM6aevUXGGr9~YBqMQYWaeLw0Btzi2RpDUqSXrvet86KuiPL7n2hcC5XSSSqimMU6ZuRcovjDIw~X-hWYwwrGG7ysqilYWYAWao~qlPlZ2tXlTrF~IoWOm-lC190A3pyB9zygUu~FV~JqiTCJ4g0zbZSW1Vuc6360YqD26pza9zuUoNRFKykSqVlmSl2iuiPkW26sAv8nv7YuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cedar Park Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Monday to recommend approval of a future land use plan amendment (item C‑1) and a paired rezoning (item C‑2) for a 32.42-acre property between 183A Toll Road and Scottsdale Drive.

City planning staff said the proposal would split the site into two parcels: Parcel A, about 25 acres, would change from regional office/retail commercial to industrial manufacturing and be rezoned to a planned-development light-industrial district; Parcel B, just under 7 acres along 183A Toll Road, would remain commercial and be rezoned to a planned-development general business district.

Cindy Schleiner, senior planner with Development Services, told the commission that “Parcel A, which is highlighted in yellow, is a little over 25 acres and parcel B, highlighted in red, just under 7 acres.” Schleiner described required development standards and a list of prohibited and conditional uses the applicant included in the planned developments including limits on crematories, tattoo parlors and certain animal and agricultural services, and special-use permit requirements for some large warehouse or major repair uses.

Michelle Lynch, representing applicant Cordova Real Estate Ventures, said the developer expects demand for light-industrial users and wants the flexibility to accommodate both light industrial and commercial tenants without returning to the city for future amendments. “We feel there is a demand for a similar project on the West Side Of Scottsdale on the subject property,” Lynch said.

Staff noted additional conditions in the plan development related to landscape and major-corridor requirements: required shade canopy trees must be a minimum 4-inch caliper, and the plan development replaces a standard buffer yard between parcels A and B with a proposal to distribute the equivalent plantings throughout Parcel A to create a cohesive development rather than a fenced buffer. Schleiner said that if the FLUP amendment is approved, staff recommends approval of the matching zoning because the change would be consistent with the comprehensive plan goals for an appropriate mix of uses.

Commissioners discussed recent council attention to the Scottsdale Drive corridor and said the corridor has been trending toward light-industrial uses; Commissioner Antel urged P&Z not to “get in the weeds” and recommended forwarding the items to council for final review. Commissioner Antel moved to recommend approval of C‑1; Commissioner Snead seconded. The motion to recommend approval of the FLUP amendment carried 7‑0.

Commissioner Antel then moved to recommend approval of the rezoning (C‑2); Commissioner Ingram seconded. That motion also carried 7‑0.

The items will advance to the City Council for public hearings and final action.","The Cedar Park Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend a future land use plan amendment and paired rezoning for a 32.42-acre property between 183A Toll Road and Scottsdale Drive to allow a mixed light-industrial and general business development proposed by Cordova Real Estate Ventures.","actionData","errors"]
