In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a zoning change request for two properties near Rosedale at 2117 W. 49th St. and 4709 Rosedale Ave., owned by Austin ISD. The plan would rezone the land from single-family (SF-3) to the city's highest-density multifamily category (MF-6-CO), opening the door to denser housing on the site.
