At its Feb. 26 meeting the Bee Cave City Council took several formal votes: it approved minutes from Feb. 11, adopted a UDC amendment to allow plan development districts, extended a filing/plan deadline for the Episcopal Church project, and declared several unopposed municipal candidates elected and canceled the scheduled elections.
The Bee Cave City Council took multiple routine and ordinance votes during its Feb. 26 regular session. Key outcomes:
- Consent: The council approved the minutes of the regular session conducted Feb. 11, 2025. The motion to approve carried unanimously.
- Ordinance 5-64 (UDC — Plan Development Districts): The council approved an amendment to Article 3 of the Unified Development Code to update standards and intent pertaining to plan development districts (PDDs). The revisions remove the prior prohibition on new PDDs, remove the minimum 5‑acre threshold for PDDs, allow flexibility in required uses, and streamline purpose language. The Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval. The ordinance passed unanimously.
- Ordinance 5-67 (Episcopal Church of the Cross): The council approved an ordinance extending the deadline to submit a site plan and obtain approval for Phase 1 of the Episcopal Church of the Cross development. The developer cited COVID‑era delays, fundraising status and ongoing selection of clergy; the council granted a two‑year extension. The ordinance passed unanimously.
- Ordinance 5-65 and Ordinance 5-66 (Election cancellations / unopposed candidates): With filing deadlines closed and elections uncontested, the council declared several candidates elected and canceled the scheduled May 3, 2025 general and special elections. The declarations were made following the city secretary’s certification that the listed candidates were unopposed; the seats will be filled without a contested election. The motions carried unanimously.
