ZAPCO approves Lakeway 2026 comprehensive plan with edits, removes Serene Hills expansion paragraph
Summary
The commission voted to adopt the Lakeway 2026 comprehensive plan as a single 50‑page document with six appendices, striking an appendix item regarding Serene Hills Drive and replacing the phrase 'varies' with 'as compatible' for dynamic core story language. Vote: 7–0.
The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission adopted the Lakeway 2026 comprehensive plan with two specific modifications and forwarded it to city council. Assistant City Manager Ashby Grundman explained the item was returned by council for clarification; the commission and steering committee worked to consolidate the plan into a single 50‑page comprehensive plan with appendices designated as supplemental.
Consultant Olivia Sullivan summarized the changes, including removal of business names from steering‑committee materials and reorganizing the material so the plan itself is no more than 50 pages with supporting appendices. Sullivan said, "We now have the Lakeway 2026 comprehensive plan that is 50 pages with 6 following appendices." Commissioners then questioned specific language and maps, asking for clarifications about the difference between the future land‑use map and other zone maps.
During discussion, commissioners agreed to two edits before the motion: strike item number 3 (a proposed widening of Serene Hills Drive) from Appendix B (the Thoroughfare Plan manual) so that the document would not imply imminent roadway expansion, and replace the word "varies" with the phrase "as compatible" in the dynamic core built‑form language to reflect steering‑committee intent. A motion to adopt the plan with those modifications passed unanimously, 7–0.
