(Ordinance 07-09-18E, sec. 3.15, adopted 9/18/07)
(a) 
Tract BBB-2A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67 is a unique zone within the City, being an area around which the community and City of Horseshoe Bay were founded, and being an area which the citizens of Horseshoe Bay hope to see develop in the high-quality manner as they have heretofore developed;
(b) 
Tract BBB-2A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67 is not subject to the restrictive covenants of any existing subdivision whereas the majority of the other zones within the City are subject to such restrictions, creating a perception that fewer safeguards exist to protect the high quality of development within the zone. The owners of Tract BBB-2A and the City have agreed since the inception of the temporary moratorium, and continue to agree that a Master Plan for the Zone is the best method to ensure quality of development;
(c) 
Tract BBB-2A is a vacant tract of land (legal description - Tract BBB-2 A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67, Horseshoe Bay, Llano County, Texas) at the northwest comer of Horseshoe Bay Blvd. and Hi Circle North. However, the plans for development in the Zone is still being determined and have not been finalized. The owners of the property in Tract BBB-2A continue to assure the City that a Master Plan for development will be presented to the Council as soon as possible and before February 20, 2024;
(d) 
Since enactment of the temporary moratorium the City Council has adopted a zoning ordinance, a building permit ordinance and a subdivision ordinance that applies to the entirety of the City. The City Council is prepared to enact a Zoning Amendment at this time Tract BBB-2A but in reliance on the property owner's request that the City wait for the Master Plan, the Council is willing to postpone such action at this time;
(e) 
Representatives of the City Council have met and will continue to meet with principal developers and land owners in Tract BBB-2A to engage in discussions that may lead to development under a Master Plan acceptable to the City and the developers, which may include establishment of one or more Planned Development Districts, but developers and land owners need additional time to complete the Master Plan and present it to the City, so that the developers and owners of Tract BBB-2A consent to an additional extension of the temporary moratorium to apply to all of the remaining property in said zones;
(f) 
Additional time is needed and the temporary moratorium should be extended to allow the City Council time to both develop further suitable land use regulations and to work with the principal developers and land owners in Tract BBB-2A in order to ensure that the development in Tract BBB-2A fulfills the goals of such developers and land owners and is in the best interest of the City.
