Round Rock City Council approved two ordinances allowing commercial development on a 3.86-acre tract along East Palm Valley Boulevard.
The overview
Council approved ordinances amending the city’s comprehensive plan and rezoning the property at 3260 E. Palm Valley Blvd. from open space to a limited general commercial zoning district, waiving the requirement for a second reading.
The actions permit commercial uses on the site, but do not approve a specific development.
The amendment updates the city’s future land use map—a policy-level guide that shows the city’s intended pattern of future development and helps inform zoning decisions but does not itself regulate land use.
Planning and Zoning commissioners recommended approval of both requests following a public hearing in December.
The tract sits along a major corridor near Joe DiMaggio Boulevard and Harrell Parkway and is surrounded by a mix of commercial properties, planned unit developments and open space.
Remember this?
The city is in the middle of an improvement project at Old Settlers Park.
The Lakeview Pavilion & Stage was the latest project completed in the park, while other projects include more sports fields and an expansion of Rock’N River. Recently, the city began construction on replacing the Joanne Land Playground.
