Environmental commission recommends Camelback PUD amendment to replace funicular with cart path

The Austin Environmental Commission on May 21 recommended approval of Camelback Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment No. 3, which would allow a 15‑foot cart path and off‑site surface access to the development’s Dock District instead of a previously required mechanized access (funicular). The commission voted unanimously to forward the request to the Zoning and Platting Commission and city council with conditions addressing lighting, revegetation and limits on additional cut and fill.
