Item 67 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The Council is holding a public hearing on a request to rezone a property along the I-35 northbound service road near Lady Bird Lake. The applicant wants to shift one tract from limited office-mixed use to the more flexible general commercial services-mixed use, which opens the door to a broader range of businesses, while a second tract would keep its limited office-mixed use designation. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend approving the change as requested.
