Expansion plans for Bee Cave's Revival Square on hold

"It's a passion project," she said of Revival Square. "Using the church made the project beautiful, but financially, it probably wasn't the most prudent business model."

McElwee said the revised project features small shops, food vendors, a beer and wine garden, live music and a full-time farmers market that uses the church trusses in its architecture.

"Our tiny stores and [their] owners need to open by Oct. 1 in order to survive the first retail wave of the year," said Camp, who proposed amending the site plan, a shorter undertaking, to clarify the project's changes instead of a more involved PDD amendment.

"When I voted for that [2014] project, that church was front and center in the PDD," Mayor Pro Tem Bill Goodwin said. "If that church is no longer part of that project, it is not the same project. It is just a retail center then."

Camp said if he is forced to file an amended PDD, then "the project is dead" but he would discuss it with his co-owner. He said he has had other offers to purchase the property.
