Item 74 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a public hearing on whether to grant variances from Austin's floodplain rules so a duplex can be built within the 100-year floodplain of Tannehill Branch Creek at 4905 Prock Lane. If approved, the ordinance would set conditions for the variances and an expiration date. It matters because the city's floodplain regulations are meant to manage flood risk, and this would carve out an exception for one property. The item has no fiscal impact.
