City staff, the consultant and committee members reviewed the study process, preliminary growth assumptions and the schedule for the impact-fee update.

Eric Ross Schubert, Director of Public Works and Utilities, explained that state law (Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code) requires periodic updates and that the study will cover a 10-year capital improvement plan and the calculation of water and wastewater impact fees that offset the capacity cost of serving growth. Nanette McCartin, senior utility business operations manager, will act as project manager for the city and staff identified a Freese & Nichols consultant team to prepare the update.

Consultant staff presented preliminary land use assumptions and growth projections. The team said the study limits its analysis to the city's service area (city limits and the city's CCN) and converts projected connections into living-unit equivalents (LUEs). Preliminary assumptions used conversion factors (for example, single-family = 1 LUE; multifamily = 0.5 LUE) and forecasted about 4,900 additional LUEs over the 2025'2035 period. For water demand the consultant used a planning criterion of about 425 gallons per LUE per day for average-day demand and a peaking factor of about 1.95 to estimate maximum day demand; on the wastewater side the team used about 195 gallons per LUE per day for average flows.

Next steps outlined to the committee include developing the impact-fee capital improvements program and performing the capacity and cost calculations, with a CIP and impact-fee calculation review scheduled for a July meeting, a final advisory meeting in August, and a City Council public hearing and first reading planned in September with a possible second reading in November. Staff emphasized that impact fees are one-time charges on new development and do not alter monthly water rates.

Committee members and staff asked clarifying questions about allowable uses of impact fee revenue, the reasonableness and benchmarking of calculated fees, quorum requirements for the committee and the distinction between impact fees and utility rates. No formal action was taken; the CIAC will meet again to review the CIP and fee calculations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cedar Park - Planning & Zoning Commission - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Cedar Park convened its Capital Improvement Advisory Committee to begin the statutorily required five-year update of water and wastewater impact fees, reviewing land use assumptions, projected growth (about 4,900 LUEs over 10 years) and a timeline that would bring an ordinance to City Council this autumn.","taxTitle","Cedar Park, Williamson County, Texas","taxId",2824,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6528237,"Commission approves subdivision variance and short-form final plat for Carter's Place on Anderson Mill Road",1383,3197000,4580000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413718-683513517c8069f27e8ccf7e23d379a1&start=3197&end=4580","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413718-683513517c8069f27e8ccf7e23d379a1/thumbnail_3197000.jpg","/articles/6528237/Cedar-Park/Williamson-County/Texas/Commission-approves-subdivision-variance-and-short-form-final-plat-for-Carters-Place-on-Anderson-Mill-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528237-7f1a6687d02328191ecce69245ca0b6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=GSLCMLwTP85~8kJHhWZz1whIXKTrFgWwGneMfDs5ZyjTw3cKp8K17SEXD9iWyzttam1K2NQL3XI3Ig0h7280PIrd35tEeUN4HCbc7~AXD55ojC-awtJ3AiNjWvRtCzN~wwWUryyH7zOUR1A62iwaHyCOgHCyZLWlQbijXTY9g~rWTVcII4CzQwPIpRgYY0EocSSRN64jX4Hf-jtS7MdasABosJur7OXkY9~em4uXQBdpHxlYDdSU9fMvxZ-epwRVctsZVsFV17zjJ3lDO-50GAINX9juppDWxm4y7hehcAIE65xxTVkorj4PkxEC3-JTjLT1envGxkDLo9T~c~OxIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Commission on May 2025 approved, 7-0, a subdivision variance and short-form final plat for Carter's Place, a proposal affecting about 9.92 acres at 12400 Anderson Mill Road. The request seeks relief from the subdivision requirement that every lot abut an existing or proposed public or private street; existing recorded access easements provide the practical access to the rear parcel.

Staff explained the property is designated Industrial Manufacturing and zoned Light Industrial. The plat covers an eastern and western portion of an original lot that has been divided by meets-and-bounds conveyances over several decades; a recorded 60-foot access easement (recorded around 1980) and a 30-foot access easement along the western boundary provide ingress and egress to the rear tract.

Development engineer Gary Jones of Eagle Engineering, representing the owner, told commissioners the existing access easement provides vehicular access but that the existing drive is steep in places (averaging about 15% grade). Jones said the owner will reconstruct the existing access to meet safer standards and that the surface will likely be concrete to improve traction on the steep sections. Staff and the applicant discussed public road grade standards (8% for public streets) and the practical limits of constructing an 8% road given the site's topography.

Because the proposed Lot 13B would not provide the required frontage on a public or private street, staff recommended a variance to allow the lot configuration with conditions. One staff-recommended condition — accepted by the applicant and included on the plat — limits access to Petunia Street (a stubbed residential street adjacent to the site) to emergency use only; that restriction will be recorded as a plat note and enforced through the plat conditions.

Residents who live adjacent to the rear of the site spoke in opposition, citing concerns about noise, tree removal and property values; speakers included a resident at 3009 Blazing Star Trail and Tom Suffield, a Petunia Street property owner. Staff reminded the public that the property is already zoned Light Industrial and that replatting brings additional plat notes, landscaping, erosion control and development standards that will constrain future activity.

Commissioner Wernicke moved to approve the variance and short-form final plat as presented by staff; Commissioner Ingram seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous, 7-0. The approval allows the property owner to proceed with the replat subject to the recorded plat notes and the condition limiting access to Petunia Street to emergency access only.","The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a subdivision variance and short-form final plat for a 9.92-acre property at 12400 Anderson Mill Road, allowing development while limiting new access to an existing residential stub street to emergency use only.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6528242,"Planning commission denies Pickle & Pints outdoor pickleball special-use permit after resident noise concerns",2180,1010000,3190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413718-683513517c8069f27e8ccf7e23d379a1&start=1010&end=3190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413718-683513517c8069f27e8ccf7e23d379a1/thumbnail_1010000.jpg","/articles/6528242/Cedar-Park/Williamson-County/Texas/Planning-commission-denies-Pickle-Pints-outdoor-pickleball-special-use-permit-after-resident-noise-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528242-e03535ff66770db1cac378c800ba46db/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=ZJiycIFca-rxXfLMdTTwwmp~K6Aq5Jqr75Yn~lICGGzgUunVXbsIKna2PiOUFaS9q7YLtFvu4pnaenD2uTKtYt~yLLJETuiLcJNwnkrBSGGoDzsu0Uex3BgApx8xGt9RZbbWvP5h0MoYBSPEidi8ctGjcfZKl5ymJMg212movIq5avNR2I9gF0MLjIL4CzCQ79ZEbFQRYjY4-LLxsHzxKjA9rAzwN0mrSRJAbnE-YPGkFf~5fvcrzitBvFwx77pige-U1VN33QKGuL8iVnFVsibAp~v0zMjtgHha8w-6QLqR-ilnIU8L2DpR9GAXAkVMpjTrKBkgPMr7ea-RLhbAKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cedar Park Planning & Zoning Commission on May 2025 voted 7-0 to recommend denial of a special-use permit (SUP) for nine outdoor pickleball courts proposed at 820 North Vista Ridge Boulevard, a 1.94-acre parcel. Staff had recommended approval with conditions covering lighting and hours of operation; the commission instead recommended denial after extensive public comment and commissioner concern.

Planning staff described the request as a Minor Outdoor Commercial Amusement use for nine outdoor pickleball courts on a property zoned General Business and designated Regional Office/Retail Commercial in the future land use plan. Staff said the applicant proposed dark-sky-friendly lighting, warm-white LEDs, timers and sensors, and restrictions on hours of operation. The staff report noted no written letters in opposition since the prior hearing but referenced one earlier speaker who raised noise concerns.

Adam Hughes, the applicant's representative for Sanlan Services, said the owner proposed the nine courts and had re-notified the nearby Silverado West homeowners association. Hughes and an owner representative said the outdoor courts were intended to serve as an overflow to an existing indoor facility and that the owner preferred to start with the outdoor courts and consider additional amenities later.

More than a dozen residents from adjacent neighborhoods testified in opposition, citing noise, light, traffic and uncertainty about possible future restaurant, alcohol service or amplified/live music. Speakers who identified themselves included John Lux (108 Breakaway Road), Brian Bassett (112 Breakaway Road), David Robertson (2522 Peterson Drive), Jennifer Vance (president, Silverado West HOA), Rachel Hall (2208 Old Sterling Road), Stephanie Schultz, and Brian Papa. Concerns focused on daytime and evening noise from continuous ball strikes (“pop pop pop”), potential amplified music and the loss of tax- and sales-tax-generating development the speakers said could better serve nearby homes.

An assistant city attorney, Jill Hoffman, reminded commissioners that noise is regulated by the city's Code of Ordinances (Article 808) and that noise measurements are taken at the property line with distinct day/night thresholds. Commissioners said they were not satisfied that proposed conditions, including the 4 p.m. start time that had been included in the SUP conditions, adequately addressed residents' concerns; some commissioners said limiting start times to 4 p.m. would unnecessarily curtail a business without guaranteeing neighborhood protection.

After commissioners questioned the applicant and the owner, Commissioner Antel moved to recommend denial and Commissioner Ingram seconded. Roll call recorded ayes from Commissioners Antel, Ingram, Reese, Wernicke, Snead, Bradford Brown and the chair; the motion carried 7-0.

The commission's denial is a recommendation to City Council; the council will consider the SUP when it meets on the item on its schedule.","The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend denial of a special-use permit that would have allowed nine outdoor pickleball courts at 820 North Vista Ridge Boulevard following resident objections about noise, hours and uncertain ancillary uses.",{"_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},6528247,"Cedar Park planning commission recommends rezoning at 2600 S.

Staff told the commission the parcel does not meet the 20,000-square-foot minimum for the General Business district but does meet the 15,000-square-foot minimum for Local Business, and rezoning would bring the lot into compliance with the city’s future land use designation of local office/retail commercial.

Planner Bryn Habby told commissioners the subject tract is about 17,293 square feet and that staff supports the request because it promotes infill and aligns the zoning with the future land use plan. The applicant representative was present and confirmed the rezoning request is intended to allow the property to be subdivided; no tenants were secured at the time of the hearing.

A Riviera Springs resident spoke during the public hearing saying neighbors had seen only on-site signage and had difficulty locating the agenda online; she asked how the city notifies nearby homeowners. Planning staff member Brent said the city posts a notice in the Austin American-Statesman 15 days before the meeting, sends mailed notices to property owners within 200 feet 10 days before the meeting, posts the agenda online the Friday before the meeting and asks applicants to attempt outreach within 500 feet.

Commission deliberations were brief. Commissioner Antel moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Snead seconded. Roll call showed approvals from Commissioners Antel, Ingram, Reese, Wernicke, Snead, Bradford Brown and the chair; the motion carried 7-0.

The Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to Cedar Park City Council, which is the final approving body for rezoning requests.","The Planning & Zoning Commission on a 7-0 vote recommended that City Council approve rezoning of a 0.397-acre property at 2600 South Lakeline Boulevard from General Business to Local Business to bring the lot into compliance with the future land use plan and allow subdivision.","actionData","errors"]
