Lakeway commission approves Amendment 3 to Square at Lomond's PUD to align road work and clear technical setbacks
Summary
The Zoning and Planning Commission approved Amendment 3 to the Square at Lomond's planned unit development, moving a Main Street deliverable date to June 30, 2026, adjusting a building setback near a roundabout and relocating on-street parking on Praslin Pass; the motion passed 6-0.
The City of Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission approved Amendment No. 3 to the Square at Lomond's planned unit development (PUD) at its July 2 meeting, clearing technical issues so a pending site plan can proceed.
Amendment No. 3 to the Square at Lomond's PUD (originally approved October 2021) covers three changes: (1) moving the deadline for delivery of Main Street and the Lomond Spur connection to June 30, 2026, to align with adjacent Stratus development; (2) granting relief from a building setback line at a roundabout so buildings may be placed closer to the right-of-way consistent with the PUD’s pedestrian-oriented intent; and (3) relocating on-street parking on Praslin Pass from the south side of the street to the north side to avoid conflicts with driveway access.
Erin Carr, planning staff, described the amendment as “a few minor variations” to an already-approved PUD covering approximately 62.979 acres at 1935 Lomans Crossing Road. Brendan McEntee, the project engineer with Carlson, Bergens and Dearing, said the setback relief is “a very technical variance” needed because early PUD documents showed buildings close to the street to create a pedestrian scale and the current permitting review identified an encroachment on a building setback established by the right-of-way.
McEntee said the closest building corner affected would be “a little over 22 feet” from the street once the 10-foot shared-use path and other separations are accounted for. Commissioners discussed sight-line and safety implications at the roundabout; McEntee and staff said the design and the wide right-of-way, together with the shared-use path, do not create identified sight-line safety issues.
On Praslin Pass, the commissioners were told the street is about 26 feet wide; moving on-street parking to the other side will avoid conflicts with private drives and increase available curbside parking where drives do not exist.
No members of the public spoke at the item’s public hearing. A commissioner moved to approve the amendment as requested; the motion carried 6 to 0.
The approval removes technical obstacles identified during final site-plan review and allows the developer’s pending northeast parcel plan to proceed through the city-engineer permitting process.
