P&Z against Belterra development changes

Belterra Commercial Development appealed to the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission for a second amendment to its first amendment on its agreement with the City of Dripping Springs, at the commission’s August 28 meeting. 

P&Z expressed frustration with what was termed as the sands shifting yet again with Crescent Belterra TX, LLC on its initial agreement with the City, and voted 5 to 1 to recommend denial of all changes listed. This denial vote came despite the fact that Belterra had provided a number of representatives at the meeting to explain and answer questions about the various desired revisions.

The changes requested included: Raising certain hotel and multi-residential building heights, allowing any building construction material under current fire and building codes, allowing an automobile repair facility, extending length of buildings, allowing accessory structures to be located within building setbacks and separation boundaries, utilizing a refuse valet service instead of following refuse facility location requirements, and allowing up to 27 units per acre for multi-family use. 

P&Z Commission Chairman Mim James asked, “Why all these changes?” After the vote, however, he properly advised Belterra’s developers that even though P & Z had voted not to recommend approval to the City, “ You may bring your request before the City Council, and appeal to them for the changes.”
