The City of Austin has been reviewing issues related to Dream City, a religious facility being built by PromiseLand West Bible Church on West Hwy. 71.
On Dec. 15, the Austin City Council gave staff 90 days to draft an ordinance requiring land-use determinations be made during the site plan application process or during a pre-permitting process that allows for public comment.
Although the council did not mention Dream City by name, the law would have addressed amphitheater opponents' complaint that the city approved the amphitheater concept two years before a formal site plan was submitted.
On Jan. 26, the council was briefed in executive session on legal issues related to Dream City. No action was taken.
By February, workers had built the worship center's steel structure and the amphitheater's pads and grounds.
