Item 82 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for the property at 301 1/2 North Lamar Boulevard, near Lady Bird Lake, that would shift it from downtown mixed use to a general commercial services-mixed use designation with a vertical mixed use building and density bonus (CS-MU-V-CO-DB90). The density bonus and vertical mixed use elements signal a taller, denser project that mixes housing with commercial space in a prime spot by the lake. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend approving the change.
