Background Information:
In 2015 and 2020 City Council approved a resolution establishing a moratorium on financial incentives for residential developments. The moratorium included two expiration triggers: 1) adoption of the updated Comprehensive Plan and 2) the City determining the need for financial incentives for residential developments (resolution attached). With the adoption of Vision SMTX staff began receiving inquiries about Public Improvement District (PID) requests. The Village at Posey Road is the first formal application received.
The subject property is approximately 50 acres near the northwest corner of Posey Road and Old Bastrop Highway. The applicant’s proposed PID Terms are attached. Prior to entering into detailed discussion with the applicant staff would like direction from City Council to proceed.

Recommendation:
Staff is seeking direction from City Council to enter into discussion with the applicant and seeks City Council direction on whether a Council Committee is needed for these discussions.
There is a PID Committee consisting of Mayor Hughson and Councilmembers Saul Gonzales and Matthew Mendoza reviewing a PID amendment and the overarching PID policy. Staff recommends, if a committee is necessary, the request for the Village at Posey be directed to this Committee.
