Title
Discuss and consider action on providing recommendation regarding Lakeside Meadows PUD Parkland Dedication.
Summary
In accordance with the Parkland Dedication Chapter of the Unified Development Code, new residential projects are required to provide a pro-rata share of parkland or fee-in-lieu of land based upon the impact that new residents will have the City's Parks System. One of the Parks and Recreation Commissions responsibilities is to make recommendations to the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council regarding acceptance of the land or fee-in-lieu for these projects.
Lakeside Meadows is a high quality community proposed for development on approximately
416.634 acres of land. It will consist of a mix of residential, office, light industrial, retail uses,
anchored by a mixed-use civic and entertainment destination abutting the south shores of
Lake Pflugerville.
The delevoper is proposing the following:

a. All public parkland will be dedicated and maintenance the responsibility of the Owner’s
Association. Maintenance requirements will be determined at the site plan review stage.
b. Criteria for public parkland dedication; City UDC 14.3.5; All parkland will follow the UDC for
the dedication criteria.
c. Owner’s Association will maintain all private parkland/open space and a license agreement
will be required for maintenance of any improved public parkland, should a higher level of
maintenance be required.
d. All trails will be 10’ wide concrete trails within all public parks and right of way areas. See
Parkland/Open Space Exhibit D, page 18 for conceptual trail alignments. Within development
tracts with private parkland maintained by a property owner’s association, the trail
systems may split the 10’ trail with a combination of concrete and decomposed granite at the discretion of the developer.
e. For tree mitigation or site requirements and its application regarding parks or site permitting
processes, see Development Area Standard...
