In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for a property at 1608 West 6th Street near Lady Bird Lake, where the owner wants to shift from office zoning (GO-NP) to neighborhood commercial zoning (LR-CO-NP) — the kind of change that would clear the way for a restaurant on the site. Both city staff and the Planning Commission have recommended approving it, with the commission signing off on an amended version. Council will hold a public hearing before voting.
