Treemont Homeowners' Association, Inc.

Information on Proposed Development at Old Cinemark Theater Site.

The proposal calls for a general retail/mixed-use project on the site of the old Cinemark theater site at Walsh-Tarlton Road and Loop 360.  It would consist of 153,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space, a 3-story parking structure, and approx. 170 single-family units.  The residential units would be a combination of town homes, patio homes, and row houses. 

Current zoning does allow for up to 350,000 sq. ft. of commercial space.  The proposal from TPG Partners/Urbana Communities claims their plan calls for less impervious cover, lower traffic in the area (as compared to the old theater or other proposals for the site), improved water quality, and a dense community appeal.  It would be kept under 60' in height, at the maximum points.  All residential homes would be sold, not rented; although the zoning restrictions would allow for rental units to be constructed on the site (none are planned at this time).  Each would have its own garage, be 2 or 3 stories, sold at $220-$380/sq. ft., aimed at active adults, and many would be detached units.  The developer stated a goal was to attain 3-star energy ratings on the Austin Green scale. 

The developer will take their proposal to the Zoning & Planning Commission in March, most likely.  Then, onto the full Austin City Council in/around April.  If their zoning changes are approved, site preparation could begin as early as one year from now, financing issues aside.  The developer stated they are interested in feedback from our neighborhood and will keep us informed as best they can.  We should take it upon ourselves to follow the course of action and offer input as it relates to traffic concerns, density, alterations to the zoning plans, etc.  Future meetings for HOA members, or dates at City Hall for this project will be posted here. 

Meeting Re: Possible Development at Old Cinemark Theater

7:00p on Tuesday 1/20 at Tres Amigos on Loop 360. 

We will hear from the developers on a proposed plan to put a mixed-use project on the site of the old Barton Creek Cinemark 14 Theaters on Walsh-Tarlton Lane.  Please join your neighbors for this important event.

   (1) sidewalks;
   (2) pavilion or gazebo;
   (3) landscaping;
   (4) two parking spots (required by the parking rules of the City);
   (5) playscape.

Action items:
   (1) The park committee is to ask Lee Weber what engineer designed the site, to find out the purpose of the detention ponds and to ask Ross Rathgeber to get the board members information on gazebos prior to the next meeting;
