    the Austin city limits, in Williamson County;

        Site 7--San Marcos site (40 acres), located within the San Marcos 
    Municipal Airport facility in eastern San Marcos, adjacent to State 
    Highway 21, on the Hays County/Caldwell County line.
        The applicant is now requesting authority to expand Site 3 to 
    include 368 acres (5 contiguous tracts) located within the City of 
    Round Rock, adjacent to Site 3's eastern boundary. The additional
