Item 107 Postponed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The owners of property at 1404 East Riverside Drive are asking the city to update the future land use map for the Greater South River City Neighborhood Plan, shifting the designation from a Specific Regulating District to Multifamily Residential. The change near Lady Bird Lake would clear the way for apartment-style housing on the site, and both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend approving it. This is one of a pair of cases tied to the broader rezoning of this Riverside parcel.
