Lakeway delays Hurst Harbor rezoning decision A decision on zoning and land use for a new Hurst Harbor Marina project, referred to as The Creek at Hurst Harbor, was delayed by Lakeway City Council at the Sept. 15 meeting. Developers wish to construct a six-story condo- minium facility at Hurst Harbor Marina, located at 16405 Clara Van St., along with new retail and amenity spaces. The change will be discussed again at an Oct. 20 City Council meeting, after press time. The background Prior to the Sept. 15 council meeting, Lakeway’s Zoning and Planning Commission heard from developers of The Creek at Hurst Harbor at a meet- ing held Sept. 11 regarding two separate requests. These changes would allow developers to create new condominium housing, retail spaces and amenities, according to city documents.

Bee Cave Central Park could soon receive upgrades following City Council’s approval of a plan from the Bee Cave Development Corporation on Sept. 23. Phase 1 of the 2025 Bee Cave Central Park Infrastructure Improvement Project from the BCDC will involve looking into the feasibility of extending Bee Cave Central Park’s main access driveway from its current end point to an existing
pedestrian bridge at Freitag Creek. It will also assess the feasibility of replacing the existing pedestrian bridge with a two-way, traffic-bearing culvert and adding a parking lot east of the culvert. “This phase is really about just doing early visi- bility and engineering work,” Economic Develop- ment Planning Coordinator Chelsey Jimenez said. All elements of the project at this stage remain conceptual, according to city documents.
