Item 109 Postponed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for several properties along South Capital of Texas Highway (off Loop 360) in the Eanes Creek Watershed, asking to switch from office and neighborhood commercial zoning to a vertical mixed-use, density bonus 90 designation that allows taller buildings with a housing component. Both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend approving it, but it matters because a valid petition has been filed in opposition, which raises the threshold of council votes needed to pass.
