The changes also adjust roadway plans to include a roundabout and left-hand turn lanes, according to city documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the changes are improvements over the previous plan,\u201d Mayor Kara King said at the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Diving in deeper <\/p>\n<p>The development is made up of 17 parcels, titled A-Q.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Parcel D is zoned for mixed-use, while Parcel E includes multifamily. Notable changes included increasing the total number of multifamily units from 250, as approved in the plan\u2019s 2020 amendment, to 310. This amendment also altered the square footage of both parcels, decreasing Parcel D by 50,000 square feet and increasing Parcel E by 205,000 square feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772250850_128_thumbnail.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"visualization\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Parcel A includes senior living, and Parcel B is zoned for multiuse, the bulk of which will include independent living, developer Jack Creveling said. Changes approved include 50 fewer senior living units total among the two parcels, with 100,000 less square feet on Parcel A and 95,000 more square feet on Parcel B if it\u2019s used for senior living. This change also puts Parcel A 50 feet closer to Hwy. 71.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772250851_290_thumbnail.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"visualization\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Parcel M is zoned for a hotel, with changes including 40,000 more square feet and 20 more hotel keys.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772250852_23_thumbnail.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"visualization\"\/><\/p>\n<p>What else? <\/p>\n<p>Council members also approved changes to traffic plans within the development, with traffic patterns feeding through a roundabout in the amendment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/communityimpact.com\/uploads\/images\/2026\/02\/27\/412231.jpg\" class=\"include_body\" onerror=\"this.src=\" width=\"1242\"\/>The changes add a roundabout. (Courtesy city of Bee Cave)In addition to the roundabout, Creveling said the project will include two dedicated left-hand turn lanes to address concerns about mobility in the area. A protected left-hand turn could be online as early as December or January, Creveling said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want stacking there either,\u201d Creveling said. \u201cThat was a change we were happy to make.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple residents <a href=\"https:\/\/communityimpact.com\/austin\/lake-travis-westlake\/development\/2025\/12\/18\/bee-cave-commission-advances-proposed-changes-to-the-villages-at-spanish-oaks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spoke in support<\/a> of a protected left-hand turn at the Spanish Oaks entrance, as residents only have one way in and out of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTurning left onto Hwy. 71 has long been a concern,\u201d Spanish Oaks resident and HOA Director Josh Budwin said. \u201cAs to The Village project in general &#8230; we\u2019re excited to see that project proceed. We don\u2019t want to see any further delays in that project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although looking forward to the development, resident William Ball said there are concerns about the proposed traffic solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything comes down to this one intersection,\u201d resident William Ball said. \u201cBased on the analysis we\u2019ve done &#8230; there\u2019s huge potential queue and spill back issues. I would encourage the city to consider that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s next? <\/p>\n<p>The project will undergo a new traffic impact analysis to determine the traffic impact of the new parcel plans, and the development will need to be replatted and considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bee Cave City Council approved a number of changes to The Village at Spanish Oaks mixed-use development at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,7600,19507,73617,73618,73616,73619],"class_list":["post-184004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-bee-cave","tag-bee-cave-city-council","tag-bee-cave-planning-and-zoning","tag-jack-creveling","tag-the-villages-at-spanish-oaks","tag-village-at-spanish-oaks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
