The agreement is between the city, Austin Community College and Home Depot, and it allows Home Depot and Austin Community College to delay building part of a road that would typically be required to be built per city ordinance.
The two-minute impact
According to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, construction on the 145,000-square-foot Home Depot began in October and should finish in September. The facility is being built northwest of the intersection of 183A Toll and Hero Way.
Parameters in the city’s subdivision ordinance would require roads be built on the west and north sides of the property to facilitate future development, according to agenda documents.
Under the agreement, ACC and Home Depot will be allowed to build access roads from Hero Way and 183A Toll while delaying building the full roads until development at a later date.
What else?
“This is an agreement with ACC, Home Depot and the city since the roadways would be located on ACC and they’re dedicating the land to the city right now for that right of way,” Executive Director of Development Services Robbin Griffin said, explaining ACC’s involvement in the situation.
