Bastrop City Council remanded the Bastrop Gateway development back to staff for further deliberation to consider amendments at the April 9 meeting. Plans for the project include 600 residential units, including townhomes and apartments, as well as retail space and a hotel.
Sorting out details
The project's architecture firm, Place Designers, requested two major deviations from the current zoning of the land: increased building height and impervious cover.
Under the city of Bastrop's future land use map, the property is listed as transitional residential—meaning a mixture of commercial and residential buildings—allowing developers to build up to five stories. The request outlines rezoning to allow for the construction of a 12-story hotel. A change in the amount of land with artificial coverage, such as concrete, is also being considered.
