During the month of August, the citizens of Buda had the opportunity to review the first draft of the comprehensive plan and leave their comments either on this project website or with the City. The Planning Team also presented the draft to the Planning & Zoning Commission on August 23, 2011 and to City Council on August 30, 2011 for their review and comment. Based on comments received from citizens, the Planning & Zoning Commission, and City Council, changes were made and a final draft is here for review.

With respect to Objective P-3:
Designating real property as reserved for a trail system, or other public use, impacts its marketable value.
As discussed in the Texas PRPRPA, and other legal precedences, this is likely illegal.
I would suggest that the Buda city government may not want to risk spending many thousands of dollars on lawyers fees defending a risky position. (Your tax dollars at work!)
Nearly 50% of the Park Land and Trails that Buda owns is undeveloped, and/or poorly maintained; maybe more focus should be given to better utilizing the property that Buda already owns.
