The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission on Oct. 1 approved several routine land-use requests and building/sign permits. The approvals were largely uncontroversial and will be forwarded to City Council where required (or were final determinations when applicable). Summary of actions and outcomes:

• Bluebonnet Massage (801 Ranch Road 620 South, Suite 202) — Special-use permit to operate a massage business. The commission approved the SUP for a 25-year term, vote 6-0. The applicant is a licensed massage therapist; staff noted the site is within 300 feet of residential uses and is otherwise consistent with the commercial context.

• Valvoline Instant Oil Change (100 Burrell Street) — Special-use permit to operate a drive-through oil-change facility. The commission approved the SUP and attached a long-term duration (motion set the permit term at 100 years), vote 6-0. Applicants said construction and permitting typically take several months to a year; the franchisee is Velocity Auto Care LLC, a large Valvoline franchisee.

• Monument sign for new subdivision at 570 Reuben Drive (Lomans Crossing Estates/"Lakeside Estates") — The commission approved a masonry monument sign design (one of the masonry options in the packet) and disallowed the metal alternative, vote 6-0. The developer indicated the sign will be set back and tied into a masonry wall frontage along Reuben Drive.

• Building sign for Pure Wash (1501 Ranch Road 620 South) — Final determination: commission approved the 24-square-foot building sign as presented, vote 6-0. Staff noted the building is new and that a separate monument sign would require a subsequent application if requested.

In addition, ZAPCO approved the minutes from the Sept. 11 meeting at the start of the meeting.

Each approved item was supported by staff reports noting compliance with zoning and code requirements; the approvals included specific durations or design constraints described above. Items that require council approval will be placed on the next available council agenda for final action.
