The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public
hearing on January 21, 2015 to hear public input and consider the proposed
Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). The
P&Z voted to recommend it to the Town Council for approval.
Since
then, concerns have arisen from some Glenwyck residents regarding the proposed
T-Fare Plan connection of Dove Road east of F.M. 1938 to Solana Blvd. In response to these concerns, a Town Council
meeting will be held at 7:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, in the Town Council Chamber at 3 Village Circle, Suite 202, to discuss this section of
Dove Road in the Proposed T-Fare Plan. This meeting will provide an opportunity for public
comment about this section of Dove Road, and also will allow Council to provide direction to Staff about it.
This
meeting is occurring prior to the Town Council’s deliberation and public
hearing regarding the Comp Plan during the regularly scheduled Town Council Meeting at 6:30
p.m. on Feb. 23.
At the public input meetings for the Comp Plan Update, we
received feedback from attendees that they did not want to increase traffic on two-lane
Dove Road east of FM 1938 (Davis Blvd) over its present volumes so it would not
have to be widened. This input was the
origin of the idea to connect east Dove Road to Solana Blvd. in order to not
have to widen Dove Road east of F.M. 1938 in the future.

Over the last 18 months the Town of Westlake has been
working on reviewing and updating its 1992 Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). A Comp Plan is a “blue print” to guide the
Town’s development and growth over the next several years (to 2040). This Comp Plan process has involved
soliciting input from the entire community (residents and our businesses) at
several widely advertised public input meetings.
The Comp Plan review process included examination of the
Town’s land uses and zoning. This in
turn required that we study the projected traffic these land uses and zoning
could create and provide recommendations for a thoroughfare plan (T-fare Plan)
that could handle the large traffic volume that could result from development
under current zoning. The goal for a
T-fare Plan is to provide for adequate mobility throughout the Town as it
develops over the next several years.
