PFLUGERVILLE PARKWAY; TO BE KNOWN AS THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE FALCON POINTE ALUR-2 SOUTH REZONING (REZ1606-03), AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Summary
The Falcon Pointe ALUR-2 South incorporates the portion of the Falcon Pointe development situated south of Central Park. The amendment affects property within Neighborhood Three-West south of Falcon Village Lane. The affected property is generally located southwest of Colorado Sand Drive, north of East Pflugerville Parkway, and south of Falcon Village Lane.
In March of 2006, the Falcon Pointe ALUR-2 was divided into two separate governing districts: North and South. In 2009, the Falcon Pointe ALUR-2 South was amended and restated to incorporate elements of the City’s Corridor districts which allow for a variety of residential and commercial uses. In 2015, the nomenclature for ALUR was changed citywide to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Table SHC2, Permitted Uses within Article II of the PUD, is proposed to be amended to allow for convenience stores with gas pumps and medical facility, hospital, and medical office permitted by right for Neighborhood Three-West and does not include Section 19 Lot 2 in Neighborhood Three - East as originally requested by the applicant. Also, the proposed amendment would require new development to be governed by current code in effect at the time of the proposed amendment, not development regulations in place in 2009 as approved with the first amendment to the PUD.
