Planning and Zoning Commission conditionally approves Persimmon Phase 1 preliminary plat
Summary
The commission voted to conditionally approve the Persimmon Phase 1 preliminary plat (PP 24-01), which covers 173.89 acres and proposes 433 lots, subject to annexation and zoning submittal and review; commissioners pressed staff on floodplain, road-width and maintenance protections.
The Buda Planning and Zoning Commission voted to conditionally approve the Persimmon Phase 1 preliminary plat (PP 24-01), a proposal that staff said covers about 173.89 acres and would create 433 lots. Staff recommended approval with the condition that applications for annexation and PD zoning be submitted and reviewed and that no final plat be approved until annexation and zoning are complete.
Staff presented the proposal as part of a larger Persimmon development governed by a development agreement approved June 18, which staff said encompasses roughly 774 acres and will ultimately allow about 2,300 residential units and significant public infrastructure. "This plat encompasses 433 lots in 23 blocks," staff told the commission during the presentation. Staff explained the DA includes roadway cross sections and other standards that limit what the commission can change at the subdivision-review stage.
Commissioners pressed staff on several technical points before the vote, including triggers for road construction and the interplay between the DA, annexation and later PD zoning. Staff said the first-phase two-lane connection on Marathon Road will be triggered by 325 occupied homes (or after 500 building permits), and that many subdivision-level standards are established by the DA and cannot be altered without reopening the DA with city council and the applicant.
A motion to conditionally approve the preliminary plat was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor with one dissenting vote and the motion passed. The motion as stated in the record required submission and staff review of annexation and zoning applications and prohibited approval of any final plat before those steps were complete. Next steps for the project include anticipated annexation and a PD zoning application, and staff said they will return subsequent final plat segments for commission review as the development advances.
The vote outcome was announced in open session; the commission also directed staff to continue to monitor DA conformity as future phase plats and final plats come forward.
