Do you think the Planning and Zoning Commission should have approved the zoning change for the Mystic Canyon development?
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-3 in favor of approving a zoning change request for 56 acres to accommodate the Mystic Canyon development during last Tuesday's meeting.
The zoning change request stirred controversy because the land is undeveloped greenspace over the environmentally-sensitive Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, and because residents of adjacent neighborhoods voiced numerous concerns about the development including traffic issues, worsening drainage when some houses are already in danger of flooding, and losing habitat for wildlife.
The commission first heard the request to change the zoning of that acreage from Future Development to Single Family-6 a month ago and held a public hearing. A motion to deny the request was left on the table when the commissioners decided to postpone their decision until the applicant, Jim Ladner, had reached out to the public about Mystic Canyon.
Several residents spoke in favor of the development during public comments, noting that Ladner has seemed willing to address the concerns of the residents in neighborhoods near the proposed development, but most public comments speakers were not as keen on the development.
