The Lakeway City Council held a meeting on October 1, 2025, where significant discussions centered around zoning amendments and development timelines that directly impact the community. One of the key topics was the amendment to the Oaks at Lakeway Planned Unit Development (PUD), which aims to facilitate the construction of roadway infrastructure and multifamily housing on approximately 34.7 acres of land.

The council reviewed Amendment Number 5 to the Oaks at Lakeway PUD, which includes updates on the construction schedule for Main Street. The amendment proposes an 18-month timeline for completion from the date of approval, which is a shift from the previously anticipated 12 months. This extension has raised concerns among council members regarding the potential delays compared to other developments in the area.

During the meeting, it was noted that external factors, such as changes in engineering requirements and longer construction timelines, have contributed to the delays. The developers cited challenges with obtaining necessary permits and coordinating with utility providers as reasons for the extended timeline. The council expressed a desire for clarity on how these delays compare to other projects in the vicinity, particularly as they relate to the overall development of Main Street.

Another significant point of discussion was the postponement of the future land use map amendment and PUD request for Hurst Harbor Marina, which is now scheduled for further consideration on October 20. The council emphasized the need for additional time to gather community feedback before making a decision.

These discussions highlight the ongoing efforts of the Lakeway City Council to manage development in a way that balances growth with community needs. As the council continues to navigate these complex issues, residents can expect further updates on the progress of these developments and their implications for local infrastructure and housing.
