What we reported
Bee Cave City Council adopted Our Bee Cave 2037, a new comprehensive plan, this fall. It is an update to Bee Cave’s 2009 document and intended to accommodate the city’s growth through its 50th anniversary.
The plan provides a guide for the city to follow for future development, and the new iteration includes the creation of five districts outlining specific land uses within each district: West Gateway, the West 71 Corridor, the Hamilton Pool Road Corridor, the Recreation and Entertainment District, and the Central Business District.
The latest
Council approved annexation and a site proposal Jan. 10, 2017, to develop a 128-acre tract off Hamilton Pool Road and about 900 feet west of Cueva Drive. The tract contained a 2015 negotiated development agreement when Bee Cave sought to annex the area. The agreement provides for annexation if the property is developed for a use other than a qualifying agricultural exemption.
Under the new comprehensive plan guidelines, the developer was restricted to create larger, less-dense lots. The project includes a 76-homesite development containing a minimum of 1-acre lot sizes.
