CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
| City Council Meeting: | October 14, 2025 |
| Department: | Executive Team |
| Subject: | Workshop on a potential amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with LCRA for communication towers (S.Williams/B.James) |
BACKGROUND
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is requesting an interlocal agreement to allow construction of a communications tower on the property they own at 5075 Cibolo Valley Drive, which is zoned R-1. The 5.26 acre property is the LCRA substation that is located to the west of The Enclave at Willow Pointe single family residential subdivision. LCR is wanting to construct a 190' lattice frame tower on the property. The City's UDC does now allow lattice frame towers and does not allow towers over 120' tall. Rather than seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment, the applicant would prefer to be allowed to construct the tower through an interlocal agreement with the City.
