Background Information:
The La Cima Development Agreement was approved in September 2014. There has been two Preliminary Plat approved under this existing Agreement and two Final Plats have been approved. Natural Development Austin, L.L.C., on behalf of Lazy Oaks Ranch, LP, is requesting amendments to an existing Development Agreement. The amendments to the Development Agreement were submitted for review in September 2019. They are requesting an increase in overall acreage to the development (addition of 122.305 acres), an increase in dwelling units (addition of 105 dwelling units), and a slight increase in the required parkland dedication amount, due to the increase in overall acreage of the development (an additional 2.06 acres). It was determined that a Council Committee was not required to reassemble to review the amendments. A comparison chart has been created to show the changes between the existing Development Agreement and the proposed.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
This item was not required to be presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission. City Council approved the original Development Agreement in September 2014.
