adopted 9/15/03; Ordinance 2023-07-17-05 adopted 7/17/2023)
(a)
Purpose.
(1)
Proper private development of infill areas, the comprehensive development
of large areas of vacant or substantially vacant land, and the redevelopment
of existing property requires a flexible approach to be available
both to the city and to the landowner.
(2)
The planned unit development (PUD) accommodates a master planned
association of land uses which are within an integrated development.
(A)
This district may be used to facilitate a larger-scale, multi-phase,
or mixed-use development. The district is intended to allow new or
innovative concepts in land development that may not be permitted
in other zoning districts.
(B)
Greater flexibility may be approved to allow special conditions or
restrictions which may not otherwise be allowed in the city’s
development ordinances.
(3)
Development within a PUD shall be clearly superior to development
in a standard zoning district with respect to design, function, and
compatibility with adjacent land uses.
(4)
More flexible development requirements may be granted so that the
PUD will contain desirable features not normally required in conventional
zoning districts.
(5)
To enable a thorough analysis, more information may be required about
a proposed PUD than would normally be required of a conventional residential
or commercial development, which may include additional meetings with
city staff.
(b)
Threshold.
No PUD shall be approved unless the applicant
demonstrates that the planned development materially advances the
purposes stated in this section, included but not limited to addressing
the following:
(1)
Benefits the City of Lakeway and acts in the public interest;
(2)
Is consistent with this section and the goals of the comprehensive
plan of the City of Lakeway;
(3)
Identifies its departure from the city’s standard zoning and
development ordinances;
(4)
Is clearly superior to the development in a standard zoning district;
(5)
Makes adequate provision for service, traffic, open space, and recreation;
(6)
Addresses the relationship and compatibility with adjacent properties;
and
(7)
Represents a desirable development as regards physical development,
tax base, and economic benefit.
(c)
Objectives.
Developments in this district are allowed
and expected to have a mixture of uses and other specialty facilities
that are compatible in both character and function. The PUD district
should:
(1)
Provide the ability to modify land use and development such that
orderly transition between two conventional zoning categories can
be accomplished when use of standard zoning categories fails to accomplish
such a transition.
(2)
Allow a single site to accommodate a mix of uses when such a mix
is desirable and in the best interest of the community.
(3)
Encourage the creative development of land, provide locations for
well-planned comprehensive developments, and provide for variety in
the development pattern of the city as outlined by the city’s
comprehensive plan.
(d)
Application.
(1)
The process for the filing of an application, requirements for notice
and advertisement of public meetings, procedures for protest of the
establishment of PUD designation and other related action shall be
the same as those provided for in the rezoning process as described
in the zoning and development ordinances. The entire application,
or components of the application, such as exhibits or attachments,
may be incorporated into the PUD ordinance, either directly or by
reference.
(2)
The request for PUD district zoning must include:
(A)
Identification of the base zoning district(s) to which the PUD is
most similar;
(B)
A statement of intent and purpose of the PUD;
(C)
Development regulations for the PUD;
(D)
A proposed PUD concept plan that illustrates graphically the standards
contained within the PUD; and
(E)
Conceptual structure elevations that illustrate the intent and purpose
of the architectural design within the PUD.
(e)
Required information.
The proposed PUD concept plan
will contain the following information:
(1)
The name, address, and telephone number of the landowner and the
developer;
(2)
The name of the proposed project;
(3)
The location of the proposed project;
(4)
A location map;
(5)
Traffic impact analysis, as required by the City’s Code of
Ordinances;
(6)
A map or diagram depicting existing streets, driveways, buildings,
watercourses, floodplains, and significant environmental features;
(7)
A map or diagram showing topographic information, key hydrologic
features, and depicting the conceptual location, type/use and size
of the following:
(8)
Existing and proposed utilities;
(9)
Estimated percentage of impervious cover; and
(10)
Proposed location of water quality facilities.
(f)
Each PUD district unique.
Each designated PUD district
will have unique standards and requirements that are described in
the adopting ordinance for that district and will become incorporated
into the city’s Code of Ordinances.
(g)
Underlying standards and regulations.
(1)
The zoning of property as a PUD may permit a variety of land uses
in closer proximity to one another than would be possible with conventional
zoning districts and encourage building configurations that create
a distinctive and memorable sense of place. To the extent that a PUD
creates standards or imposes restrictions or duties which differ from
those imposed by other City ordinances, rules or regulations, the
standards, restrictions or duties imposed by the PUD ordinance adopted
pursuant to this section shall supersede such other provisions to
the extent of any conflict or inconsistency. Any such inconsistency
or conflict shall be clearly identified by the applicant at the time
of application for the PUD District.
(2)
Development regulations shall be included as part of the PUD application,
and shall include, but are not be limited to regulations governing:
(A)
Land uses;
(B)
Densities;
(C)
Lot areas and widths;
(D)
Lot depths;
(E)
Building coverage and heights;
(F)
Building elevations;
(G)
Parking and access, mobility, shared access paths, and drives;
(H)
Screening and landscaping;
(I)
Provision for a mandatory property owner’s association;
(i)
A mandatory property owners’ association shall be required
for a development proposed for more than one (1) lot and/or owner
for providing, operating, and maintaining the facilities, grounds,
parking and drive areas, open spaces, detention, and amenity areas.
(ii)
If an owner’s association is required, the articles for
incorporation of an owner’s association shall be reviewed by
the city to assure compliance with the provisions of this chapter;
and
(J)
Other regulations as the zoning and planning commission and the city
council may deem appropriate to perform a full and complete review
of the application and to properly regulate the development and operation
of the PUD.
(3)
The standards and requirements of the development and building ordinances
shall apply in every PUD district unless specifically superseded by
the approved PUD ordinance. Unless otherwise provided by the PUD ordinance:
(4)
PUDs containing residential uses must comply with the parkland dedication
requirements of the City’s Code of Ordinances.
(A)
Public open space/parkland shall be dedicated to the city. When the
city determines that the dedication of public parkland is impractical
or undesired, the city council may choose to accept a financial contribution
in-lieu of a parkland dedication, or a combination of parkland and
fees in-lieu. The approved PUD ordinance shall set forth the parkland
dedication (or fees in-lieu, or combination of the two) required in
the PUD.
(B)
Open space requirements shall be satisfied for each phase of a PUD
containing multi-phased residential. If open space is not to be provided
proportionally among phases of development, the applicant must execute
a reservation of open space in a form that will assure the City that
such open space will be provided. The city may require that all open
space within the district must be provided prior to completion of
development.
(5)
The proposed PUD may be allowed to depart from strict conformance
with the requirements of the development and building ordinances as
long as the PUD provides tangible benefits to the neighborhood and
the city and the development is clearly superior to what would be
required in a standard zoning district. Departure from any ordinance
requirement is a privilege and shall be granted only when recommended
by the zoning and planning commission and approved by the city council
by ordinance.
(6)
Except as otherwise provided by the city’s subdivision regulations,
no development shall begin and no building permit shall be issued
for any land within a PUD until a site plan that is consistent with
the PUD ordinance plan has been approved.
(A)
A PUD shall be developed, used, and maintained in compliance with
the approved PUD site plans for the district.
(B)
Compliance with the PUD ordinance, approved site plans, and project
schedule shall be construed as a condition precedent to granting of
certificates of occupancy.
(C)
Zoning will revert back to original zoning absent an approved preliminary
plan within 12 months of PUD zoning approval.
(h)
Minimum PUD parcel size.
The minimum size of a parcel
of land eligible for a PUD designation is eight (8) acres. A written
request may be made for a PUD on a smaller tract, which shall require
approval by the city council upon recommendation from the zoning and
planning commission.
(i)
Prohibited uses and structures.
Uses in a PUD district
must be of a type and location such that there will be no undue detrimental
impact upon adjacent residential properties. Therefore, the following
prohibited uses and structures are established:
(1)
An activity which produces nuisances as described in the City’s
Code of Ordinances.
(2)
Any single retail or office structure that exceeds the square footage
as outlined in this chapter for district C-1, unless specifically
permitted in the PUD ordinance approved by the zoning and planning
commission and city council.
(3)
No commercial activities will be conducted in a mixed-use PUD between
the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. unless specifically authorized
by the city council.
(4)
Recreational vehicles, travel trailers and motor homes may not be
kept on-site or inhabited.
(5)
Open storage and outside display of merchandise is prohibited unless
specifically permitted in the PUD regulations approved by The zoning
and planning commission and city council.
(j)
Approval process.
The zoning and planning commission
is authorized to require additional information necessary for a complete
understanding of the proposed PUD. After appropriate review and a
public hearing the zoning and planning commission will file a report
with the city council recommending approval, approval with modifications
to the proposed plan, or denial of the application.
(k)
Modifications to existing PUD.
(1)
Owners of property within a PUD may request rezoning for only a portion
of the PUD district they own. Notice of such rezoning will be based
on the boundary of the portion of the PUD district being rezoned rather
than the entire PUD district.
(2)
In considering the request, the zoning and planning commission and
city council shall evaluate the effect of the rezoning on the remaining
property within the PUD district.
(3)
If the zoning and planning commission or city council determines
that the rezoning necessitates adjustments to the terms and conditions
of the original PUD district, the zoning case to rezone the portion
of the PUD district will be tabled so that the city can initiate a
zoning case for the remainder of the PUD district and first consider
amendments to the terms and conditions of the original PUD district.
(4)
Any amendment or modification to a PUD concept plan shall be considered
a zoning change and shall be processed pursuant to the City’s
Code of Ordinances unless the changes are provided for in the PUD
ordinance.

Development standards.
(1)
Parking.
The unique nature of this district requires
flexibility in determining parking requirements. Using best practices
promulgated by the American Planning Association and the Institute
of Transportation Engineers as a guide, staff will work with the developer
and architect to establish parking ratios as part of the general development
plan approval process.
(2)
Lighting.
(A)
In areas where necessary, and specifically for the heliport, heliport
walkway, and emergency room receiving area, lighting as required by
state and federal regulations shall be permitted. The heliport shall
be lit only when it is in operation.
(B)
Street and parking lot lighting shall be subject to the standards
established elsewhere by City of Lakeway ordinances.
(C)
No lighting shall project across the property line or into adjacent
roadways (light trespass), shall project down at least 10 degrees
from horizontal, and shall not cause reduced visibility or visual
discomfort to a person of ordinary sensibilities (glare). The overall
distribution of lighting for a site shall be designed to promote the
even distribution of light while minimizing sharp contrasts between
lit areas and the darker surroundings. Exceptions may be approved
by the code official upon review and determination that they will
not be a light nuisance.
(m)
Architectural controls.
(1)
Height.
(A)
A hospital building shall be limited to 160 feet above the highest
natural grade under the slab.
(B)
A hotel building, a parking structure and a rehabilitation center,
long-term acute care center, or other medical facility building shall
be limited to 70' above the highest natural grade under the slab.
(C)
All other structures in this district shall have a maximum of three
(3) stories, and shall be limited to 45' above the highest natural
grade under the slab.
(2)
Roofs.
Elsewhere in its ordinances, the city requires
a minimum roof pitch of 3:12 for all nonresidential structures. In
this district, hospital buildings and parking structures are exempt
from this requirement. Buildings with a height of 40 feet or greater
are also exempt from this requirement provided any rooftop mechanical
equipment is adequately screened from view.
(n)
Hours of operation.
(1)
A hospital in this district shall be required to operate 24 hours
per day, seven days per week.
(2)
A rehabilitation center, long-term acute care center, other medical
center, or hotel located in this district shall be allowed to operate
24 hours per day, seven days per week.
(3)
Restaurants located in this district shall be allowed to operate
until 2 a.m.
(Ordinance 2013-07-15-06 adopted 7/15/13; Ordinance
2023-09-05-02 adopted 9/5/2023)
(a)
Purpose.
The purpose of the view protection conditional
overlay is to protect established views from existing residences from
unreasonable obstruction by new construction.
(b)
Applicability.
The regulations imposed in this district
are in addition to the regulations of the base zoning district and
do not negate any of the base zoning district regulations except for
maximum height, which is restricted further by the provisions of this
district.
(c)
Boundaries.
The boundaries of this district are defined
in the map attached to Ordinance 2011-04-18-06.
(d)
Maximum height.
(1)
Prior to the construction of houses or additions in this district,
a maximum height shall first be established by the city building commission
(CBC). In no case shall the height granted by the CBC exceed the maximum
height of 32 feet established by the base zoning district.
(2)
For additions, staff shall inspect the property and make a determination
as to whether a proposed addition impacts adjacent protected views.
(A)
Following a staff determination that a proposed addition has no impact
on adjacent protected views, the code official may approve the permit,
subject to other applicable regulations.
(3)
To have a maximum height established for a proposed house or addition
in this district, applicants shall first set one or more ridge poles
representing the maximum height to which the applicant desires to
build. Ridge poles shall be placed at the approximate location of
the center of the highest ridgeline. At least one ridge pole shall
be in place for a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to a public hearing
and site visit by the CBC. In order to better determine the potential
for obstruction of views, the CBC may require that additional ridge
poles be established and that a written report stamped by a licensed
surveyor be provided certifying the height of the ridge poles and
their location on the lot. Unless otherwise directed by the CBC, ridge
poles shall be removed no later than two (2) weeks from the date of
determination.
(4)
After erecting the required ridge pole, an applicant seeking a height
determination shall submit an application package to the building
and development services department (BDS). Among other items required
by BDS, the application package shall include:
(A)
The requested height in terms of both height above highest natural
grade under the proposed slab and height above a given benchmark on
the site (such as a water meter, transformer pad, fire hydrant, etc.)
which shall be denoted as 100 feet.
(B)
A topographic survey of the property.
(C)
An accurate front elevation silhouette of the new structure, drawn
to scale, if requested by the CBC or BDS.
(D)
Any additional restrictions imposed by applicable deed restrictions
and/or neighborhood architectural control boards.
(5)
After receiving a complete application, BDS shall post notice of the requested height and the impending public hearing in accordance with section 30.07.044 of this chapter. For additions, such notice shall establish a timeline for registering opposition to proposed construction with city staff.
(6)
The CBC shall then hold a public hearing regarding the requested
height at their next regular meeting, provided that meeting is no
sooner than two (2) weeks after the placement of the ridge pole in
question.
(7)
For additions which are unopposed following the required notification
process, the code official may approve the permit after the two (2)
weeks of ridge pole placement have concluded. The code official may
refer any application to the CBC for determination.
(8)
For new construction and additions which are not unopposed, the CBC
shall hold a public hearing as scheduled. During the meeting, the
CBC shall conduct a site visit to view the pole and assess the potential
impact of the proposed structure on views from neighboring residences.
In doing so, the CBC shall only consider views from major living spaces
(living rooms, dining rooms, dens, studies, master bedrooms, home
offices, kitchens, decks, porches, balconies). Views from secondary
bedrooms, media rooms, play rooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, stairway
landings, halls, garages, yards, streets, lower decks and porches
of multi-story houses (if upper decks, balconies and/or porches exist)
shall not be considered.
(A)
If the CBC determines by a formal vote that the proposed structure
will not have an impact on views from neighboring residences then
the requested height shall automatically be granted, provided that
height is no greater than the maximum height of 32 feet established
by the base zoning district.
(B)
If the CBC determines by a formal vote that the proposed structure
will have an impact on views from neighboring residences and there
are existing houses on either side of the subject lot (i.e. houses
to the right and left of the subject lot when looking at the lot from
the street), and:
(i)
The proposed structure is a new house, then the height shall
automatically be the average of the maximum heights of the houses
on either side of the subject lot; or
(ii)
The proposed structure is an addition, then the height shall
be set by a formal vote of the CBC at a level that does not unreasonably
obstruct lake views from neighboring residences, recognizing that
some previously unobstructed views may still be impacted even at the
height established by the CBC.
(C)
If the CBC determines by a formal vote that the proposed structure
will have an impact on views from neighboring residences and houses
do not exist on either side of the subject lot (i.e. to the right
and left of the subject lot when looking at the lot from the street),
then the height shall be set by a formal vote of the CBC at a level
that does not unreasonably obstruct views from neighboring residences,
recognizing that some previously unobstructed views may still be impacted
even at the height established by the CBC.
(9)
BDS or its designated representative shall verify the approved finished
floor height elevation during construction. If the proposed height
of a structure is within twelve (12) inches of the maximum height
allowed for that structure, the permit holder shall have a survey
performed by a licensed surveyor prior to passing the framing inspection
to verify that the height of the structure will not exceed the maximum
height allowed. If any discrepancy is discovered in the finished floor
height or framed ridge height that would result in the structure exceeding
the approved height elevation, construction shall cease until the
matter is resolved.
(10)
Maximum heights established by the CBC are void if construction has
not commenced within three (3) years of approval date.
