Commission approves Penske Hutto preliminary and final plats unanimously
Summary
Planning commissioners voted 7-0 to approve both the Penske Hutto preliminary and final plats for a 35.8‑acre, two‑phase project (car dealership phase 1); approval carried with staff conditions including finalizing a license agreement prior to recordation.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously on April 7 to approve the Penske Hutto preliminary plat and the subsequent final plat for a 35.800‑acre site on Innovation Boulevard. Staff described the project as a two‑phase development with phase 1 intended for a car dealership and two open‑space/drainage lots; the PUD and annexation were previously approved in August 2024. "We have a motion by Commissioner DeLay and a second by Commissioner Kennard to accept with the staff note," the chair said before the votes, which passed 7‑0.
Staff noted the plats dedicate 1.5 acres for a future road (Schneider Boulevard) to align with the master mobility plan; the applicant and staff confirmed that right‑of‑way dedication and construction responsibilities are addressed in the development agreement. Commissioners asked about permitted uses under the PUD and the implications of the base zoning (light industrial) for automotive uses; staff clarified the PUD specifically allows automotive dealership and related uses.
Approvals included the standard staff conditions: final license agreements and staff notes must be satisfied prior to recordation. The unanimous votes move the Penske project forward toward recordation and any subsequent building permits.
