Cedar Park scales back housing density changes After hearing proposed updates to the city’s future land use chapter of its comprehensive plan, Cedar Park City Council voted June 27 to not adopt some of the changes that would have increased housing density. The overview The initial proposal, presented by Director of Development Services Amy Link on June 13, included, among other items: • Increasing the allowable density in low-density residential areas from four to five units per acre • Increasing the allowable density in medium-density residential areas from eight to 10 units per acre These recommendations were made as Cedar Park’s population nears build-out—or the num- ber of people expected to fill all of the housing
Officials weigh more child care options Following a monthlong council consid- eration process, one child care center is cleared to put down roots in Cedar Park, while another is still on the table. Both child care centers put in a request for a special-use permit during a June 13 City Council meeting. A closer look Council approved the permit for PACE Preschool during its June 27 meeting. The business is planning to build a 13,266-square-foot building at 1360 Little Elm Trail. The other school, Parinama Academy, is looking to build a 9,100-square-foot facility at 14300 Ronald Reagan Blvd. Council mem- bers said they did not have enough details about the project to make a decision.

approved for future development. Because of this, city leaders are considering diversifying housing options throughout the city. However, the council did not include the hous- ing density changes, updates to the city’s build-out capacity and language about redeveloping larger residential lots in their final approval after receiv- ing pushback from homeowners and the planning and zoning commission. While council approved two changes related to planning areas and apartments, they agreed to take a closer look at housing density in the future.
