Cedar Park planning commission approves three-item consent agenda; staff outlines recent City Council land-use actions

On Sept. 16 the City of Cedar Park Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to approve a three-item consent agenda and received a staff update on recent and upcoming City Council land-use actions.

The consent agenda — listed as agenda items B‑1 through B‑3 — was approved on a motion by Commissioner Antle and seconded by Commissioner Bradford Brown. A roll-call vote recorded Commissioners Antle, Sneed and Bradford Brown and the presiding chair voting “aye,” and the motion passed unanimously. The commission record shows four commissioners were present for the meeting.

Dustin Henry of the city’s Development Services Department briefed the commission on City Council activity relevant to planning and zoning. Henry said the Aug. 28 council meeting declined a future land-use petition for the property at 1701 Baghdad and accepted a future land-use petition for a project called Headwater at Little Elm Trail and 1838 Toll Road. Henry also said the council approved two ordinance amendments previously presented to the commission: one set of zoning-code amendments and one set of code amendments related to public notices.

Henry further recapped the Sept. 11 City Council meeting, saying a future land-use amendment and rezoning request for the New Hope corporate project had been postponed at the applicant’s request and rescheduled for the Oct. 9 council meeting. Henry said the council conducted a first reading and public hearing for the Lakeline Office Park rezoning, changing from professional office to local business; he noted the Lakeline Office Park item was scheduled for a second reading at the Sept. 25 council meeting.

Commissioners volunteered to attend upcoming council meetings. One commissioner said they could attend the Sept. 25 meeting; another indicated willingness to attend the Oct. 9 meeting.

There were no public comments on items not posted on the agenda, and staff and director comments at the end of the meeting were recorded as none. The commission adjourned after closing remarks.
