What we reported: On Nov. 17, Cedar Park City Council approved a petition that initiated the amendment process for a roughly 9-acre parcel on Quest Parkway in the city’s future land use plan, or FLUP. The parcel sits across the street from Heritage Oak Park, which holds Cedar Park’s Heritage Oak Tree, a roughly 400-year-old tree that is strung with about 30,000 lights every December for the city's annual Tree Lighting and Santa’s Workshop event. The owners of the property, 900 Quest Parkway Partners Ltd., seek to change the plan to high-density residential use and proposed a mixed-use development with residential, office or retail space for the site.

The latest Since the petition was accepted, the owners submitted a rezoning application, which city staff is reviewing along with the FLUP amendment, according to the city of Cedar Park. All zoning decisions must conform to the FLUP, so the FLUP amendment must be heard and approved prior to the approval of a zoning request, according to the city.

What’s next If both the FLUP amendment and rezoning request for the property are approved by City Council, the site could then be developed as a mixed-use development. If the FLUP and rezoning are not approved, the property could be developed under its existing zoning of general retail use, which allows for a variety of retail, office and personal service uses, according to the city.

Correction: This story originally reported the roughly 9-acre parcel on Quest Parkway held Cedar Park's Heritage Oak Tree. The parcel sits directly across the street to Heritage Oak Park, which holds the Heritage Oak Tree.
