City Council to consider a step toward new 18-acre residential development in northeast Cedar Park

Cedar Park City Council will consider an agenda item at its July 23 meeting that would pave the way for a potential residential development on an 18-acre plot of land in the northeast corner of the city.

A closer look: The landowner, Three Creeks Development, is asking City Council to approve an amendment petition to the city’s Future Land Use Plan, which guides long-term planning and development in the city. If approved, the property would change from its intended use as local office, retail or commercial to low-density residential, city documents state.

The developer aims to build a planned development of 68 homes on the site, which is located mostly within the city limits and extends partly into the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction northwest of the intersection of New Hope Drive and Ronald Reagan Boulevard.
