After months of deliberation about The Colony at Cole Springs development, city council members have annexed the project on a first but not final reading.
The overall development gave council members pause during its first phases, where they questioned bridge costs and its permit approvals, development zoning, increased traffic concerns, water and wastewater, land acquisitions and more. After the developers worked through the main issues and met the city’s standards, city council agreed to annex the development, its zoning ordinance and the Municipal Utility District.
Cole Springs developers say they have a lot to offer Buda at no cost to the city, such as adding a bridge that alleviates traffic, a traffic signal along FM 967, donating parklands and trails above what is required and paying $700,000 toward realigning Old Black Colony Road.
