Bee Cave officials granted The Backyard at Bee Cave a permit to continue events following an April 29 deadline to bring several structures up to code.

The City Council voted 3–2 April 12 to give the venue owners two weeks to make improvements to the bathrooms, artist compounds, water quality pond and silt fencing. The deadline was the day before the spring concert season, which was scheduled to begin with Willie Nelson’s birthday concert.

In early April, building official Stephen Myrick reported to the council that many of the structures in the venue were not up to code and needed substantial improvement.

“Code enforcement officials went out Friday afternoon and reported to me that everything was good to go,” City Administrator Frank Salvato said. “Health and safety were the priorities.”

The permit expires after June 30 when council members say they want to see the venue reach improvement requirements established in the original development agreement with the city before granting a final certificate of occupancy.

Backyard COO Greg Henry said he plans to have 20 to 25 shows this season, including performances by Arcade Fire, 311, Sublime with Rome and Pat Green.
