This discussion to amend the current ordinance comes after Bianca King was denied an additional permit to run her business after several golfers playing on a nearby course complained about the children making too much noise.

She filed a lawsuit to get the city to change its ordinances so businesses like hers could run smoothly.

"We are excited to work together with council and Mr. Mayor to revise the ordinance so we can welcome and support home businesses including family childcare so this ordinance can rise to meet the needs of Lakeway families and support its changing demographics," said King. Some council members believe this discussion over golfer complaints is absurd and King’s business should be allowed to run with no issues.

"That was a disgrace. I mean, seriously, toys and noise? I'm embarrassed. If it doesn't affect me and I can't see it and I can't hear it and it's not affecting my quality of life more than my neighbors, I don't have a problem. I don't understand why anybody would. It's absurd to me," said Louis Mastrangelo, a Lakeway City Council Member.

One proposed revision was to have no more than three vehicle round trips be allowed at a home business from customers, but that was struck down by council for not being enough.Council voted to adopt the amended proposal at their next meeting on June 21. Once approved, King will be able to reapply for her license.
