4 issues in environment with high priority
Tree Preservation and Landscaping Code Amendments
Developers want to build two big warehouses at 3675 Kyle Crossing, but a healthy 33-inch Red Oak tree sits right where the truck court needs to go. The commission will decide whether to approve the permit and work on relocating the tree or look at other design options.
Water Quality and Riparian Protection
The city introduced new subdivision regulations to protect the Edwards Aquifer recharge and contributing zones and stream buffers by limiting impervious cover and mandating water quality standards.
Drought Contingency Plan Update
The city updated its long-term water conservation and drought contingency plans, implementing Stage 3 drought rules, once-a-week outdoor watering, and enhanced AMI metering tools.
Water Scarcity and Growth
Kyle's exploding population is seriously stressing out its water supply, and with Texas summers getting hotter, residents should brace for long-term water challenges.
