Item 40 Passed 10-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

The Council is kicking off a process to amend the East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan, looking at whether to switch the land use designation for three properties along South Lakeshore Boulevard and East Riverside Drive from Specific Regulating District to Mixed-Use. This is the first step that opens the door to potentially different development on these parcels in a fast-changing East Riverside corridor, so neighbors watching that area will want to track where it heads.

The official agenda language

Approve a resolution initiating a neighborhood plan amendment to the East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan to consider a change to the land use designation on the future land use map (FLUM) from Specific Regulating District to Mixed-Use for the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive, Austin, Texas.
