Uh, no. Look at the map. The very, very, extreme corner of the pilot Knob development is at William Cannon and McKinney Falls. From there, it's 1.8 miles to WC/PV.
So approximately 0 people will be 2 miles away.
3 miles gets you out to a little bit along Colton Bluff Springs. Approximately 10% of the land of the Pilot Knob PUD will be within 3 miles. Presumably a lot less than 10% of the population, since all the dense development is in a different area of PUD.
Again, the PUD just isn't impressive. You can throw a dart at a map of Austin and have 20k people within 3-5 miles of a park and ride. You need density, and the pilot Knob project only has a little of it (~200 acres it seems).
