‘Unprecedented’ home valuation spikes coming to Williamson County residents

2021-22 Projected 4,577,000
Williamson County residents can expect to see record increases in their property values, accord- ing to Alvin Lankford, chief appraiser for the Wil- liamson Central Appraisal District. Lankford said these increases—which could be as high as 40% in some neighborhoods—are directly tied to the housing market. The appraisals will be mailed to all residents around April 1 and aim to show a home’s value as of Jan. 1. CONTINUED ON 32

“I was out for three weeks with COVID[-19] and pneumonia and, one day, there were only two of my sta here—that’s it,” Saunders said. “We had to pull people from other schools or other parts of the dis- trict, and we brought them in to feed the kids. You can’t do it with two people. I mean, they’re strong, but you can’t do that.” And it was not just Vista Ridge that was hit hard. As the omicron variant of the coronavirus reached its peak in January, LISD reached a tipping point.

WhenMandy Saunders tested positive for COVID- 19 in January, it left the Leander ISD Child Nutrition Services team at Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Park as short-handed as it had ever been during the pandemic. Saunders, who has been with LISD for 15 years, is the team lead for CNS at the school and, pre-pan- demic, ran a team of 16. But while she and other members of her crew were out in January, the team was down to the bare minimum.

HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH
FROMDENISE: For my family, March is when we start to plan out one of my favorite times of the year, summer, for our two boys. It gives our kids an opportunity to explore new adventures, meet new friends and nd things that they love to do, and the best way to test the waters for new activities is summer camps. If you are ready for your children to meet new people and venture into a new and fun activity, check out our Summer Camp Guide (see Pages 18-23). Denise Seiler, GENERALMANAGER

FROMEDDIE: I got to visit with the nutrition team at Vista Ridge High School for our front-page story this month, and it was a great experience. To have a functioning kitchen capable of serving 2,000 fresh and hot meals a day, ve days a week is an incredible feat. Their team, like many across Central Texas, has worked short-sta ed throughout the pandemic but has still been able to keep up with demand in its toughest hours. Eddie Harbour, EDITOR

CRASH DATA
The tra c signal study showed 37 crashes have been reported at the intersection from 2019 to 2021, according to Texas Department of Transportation data.
Following a tra c signal study, the city will move forward with adding a tra c signal at the intersection of Hero Way and Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Leander. There was one fatal crash and 36 other incidents at this intersection between 2019 and 2021, according to Texas Department of Transportation records. Engineering rm Kimley-Horn presented its tra c study to Leander City Council on Feb. 7 with three tra c-control solutions for the intersection. The traditional tra c signal scored the highest cost-bene t ratio compared to the other two options and would be less challenging to implement. Two alternative intersections

BY TAYLOR GIRTMAN
St. David’s HealthCare plans to start construction of its Leander hospital in the rst quarter of 2023, according to a Feb. 15 announcement. Leander’s rst hospital is scheduled to open in 2024. The $142.5 million full-service, acute-care hospital will have a 24-hour emergency depart- ment, inpatient and outpatient surgery, critical care capabilities, robotic services, maternity services and newborn services, according to a release. The 34-bed hospital will also have room for growth. The hospital is one part of St. David’s plan to invest $953 million across Central Texas with three new hospitals and current facility expansions. The hospital will be located between the existing emergency center and medical o ce building on San Gabriel Parkway between US 183 and 183A Toll. St. David’s rst announced plans in 2016 to

develop 52 acres in Leander for a hospital, emer- gency center and other medical o ces. A free-stand- ing emergency center opened in January 2018 as Phase 1. The second phase of construction, a medical o ce building, was completed in early April 2020. The hospital is the third phase of the St. David’s development. David Hu stutler, St. David’s president and CEO,
said that a facility demand analysis showed network coverage gaps and expansion needs. “The Leander area has grown at an even faster pace over the past few years and we don’t see any evidence that will change,” Hu stutler said in a statement. “Knowing the lead time these projects take, it was time to go ahead and move forward with the hospital.”

feet of retail, restaurant and commu- nity spaces; two hotels; thousands of multifamily housing units; and 30 acres of parkland, according to Inspire. The plan for Pearson Ranch includes a mix of public and private spaces that focus on sustainability, vitality and a community-oriented lifestyle, accord- ing to the release. Additionally, the land plan for Pearson Ranch dedicates 48 acres to a corporate campus. “Located in the new premier hub for major technology companies, Pearson Ranch will provide needed access to
o ce space for employers, generating new jobs and providing on-site access to retail, housing and park space for Central Texas,” Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell said in the release. The project, which is anticipated to take 10-15 years to fully build out, will have an estimated value of more than $2 billion, according to the release. The rst phase of the Pearson Ranch development will span 41 acres and include 600,000 square feet of o ce space, three apartment communities and some retail.
Inspire Development broke ground Jan. 27 on Pearson Ranch, a 156-acre mixed-use project that aims to bring o ce space, retail, hotels, housing and parks to an area that developers called Williamson County’s “burgeoning technology corridor.” Located at the northeast corner of SH 45 N and West Parmer Lane, the development is 2 miles from Apple’s $1 billion new campus. Pearson Ranch will feature 2.6 million square feet of Class A o ce space; 200,000 square

Perfect Game gets zoning approval
RONALD REAGAN BLVD.

The future Perfect Game devel- opment in Cedar Park is moving ahead with approved zoning for the 110-acre project. Cedar Park City Council approved a zoning change request for the proj- ect Feb. 24. The new zoning changes over 110 acres from development reserve zoning to planned develop- ment zoning with a general business base district. The project will be at the southeast corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and the planned New Hope Drive extension. The project is divided into two parts. A 30-acre tract of land along Ronald Reagan will have gen- eral business land uses such as hotel, restaurant and retail. The second 80-acre land tract will house Perfect Game facilities and 16 baseball elds. Josh Sanders, a Perfect Game developer, said to council that the construction of the baseball facilities and Phase 1 of commercial devel- opment is expected to be complete in early 2024. During the Feb. 10
council meeting, the developer, council members and city sta discussed some residents’ concerns about the development. Amy Link, the city director of development services, said community concerns about the project were related to hours of operation, tra c and noise levels. Hours of operation are to end at 10 p.m., but some events could nish after 10 p.m., Link said. Sanders said games are limited to two hours, and not all games start and end at the same time. This would stagger tra c in and out of the facility as not all attendees would come and go during the same time frame.

A 21.5-acre development in Cedar Park will bring multifamily units, park space and commercial develop- ment to RM 1431. Cedar Park City Council approved a zoning request Feb. 24 that allows for the mixed-use development called Shops at Vista Ridge. The development is at the southwest corner of RM 1431 and Vista Ridge Boulevard next to the existing Advance Auto Parts store. The zoning changed 21.5 acres from general business zoning to planned development zoning with a mixed-use base district. The city’s future land-use plan was also
changed on a 5.46-acre section of the project from local o ce/retail/com- mercial to high-density residential. The project has three areas includ- ing an 8-acre park area, a multifamily complex with about 360 units, and a commercial development area with single- and multistory buildings, Development Services Assistant Director Andreina Dávila-Quintero said at the Feb. 10 council meeting. The park will be privately maintained with public access and amenities, said Michele Lynch, who represented the developer. It will also have structured parking for the multifamily and commercial areas.

includes additional homes that would need to be added to address new population growth and does not include the current unfilled need. It is also a provisional goal, which could be adjusted before the county officially adopts it. “The numbers I have been looking at are almost double those,” County Commissioner Jeff Travillion said. Awais Azhar with HousingWorks Austin said it would be difficult to calculate the exact numbers of units needed currently because the housing market and local economy have changed rapidly since that data was last collected.
Travis County will need roughly 70,000 more affordable housing units within the next five years to address population growth, accord- ing to a preliminary recommenda- tion provided by HousingWorks Austin. The data was presented to the Travis County Commissioners Court on Feb. 24 as part of the county’s process to establish a strategic housing blueprint—an effort to take a comprehensive look at the county’s affordable housing situation, similar to the one the city of Austin uses.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS LEANDER ISD Trustees approved a resolution Feb. 10 to pay district employees while LISD was closed Feb. 4 due to winter weather and icy road conditions. Nonexempt employees would otherwise not be paid for the missed time. The district was also closed Feb. 3, but this date will be made up April 18. The goal was to maintain regular paychecks, ensure safety during emergency periods and promote employee retention, according to LISD. LEANDER ISD A new COVID-19 testing site opened in February at Running Brushy Middle School in Cedar Park. The Curative-run testing site will be open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. The school is located at 2303 Lakeline Blvd., Cedar Park.

Gearing also shared information about the 1,916 students who left the district between Aug. 16 and Feb. 10. Almost half of these students have moved to other Texas public schools and schools outside of Texas. About 1,000 students left LISD for other schooling options, according to the district. This includes 551 students who moved to homeschooling, 113 who moved to charter schools, 118 who moved to private schools and 137 who attend other virtual schools. COSTLYABSENCES Leander ISD’s average daily attendance, or ADA, is lower than projected for the 2021-22 school year. Here is how the ADA rate has changed this school year:
LEANDER ISD Though the number of reported COVID-19 cases in students has decreased since January, Leander ISD may face millions of dollars in lost state funding due to low student attendance rates. The school’s average daily attendance, or ADA, was about 94% as of Feb. 24. However, the school’s budget accounts for 96% ADA. For LISD, each percentage point below the budget amount equals about $3 million in funding, according to the district. Superintendent Bruce Gearing said the district is waiting for further direction from the Texas Education Agency commissioner to decide about hold harmless, which guar- antees state funding regardless of declined attendance. “Part of the problem is that we don’t have enough runway left in the school year to move that percentage signi cantly higher,” Gearing said. Additionally, the district is facing ongoing increased employee absences, which are about 20% higher than pre-pandemic levels. The district’s substitute ll rates range between 70%-75%. Gearing said, however, that this is a higher ll rate than in prior school years.
