Item 84 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The Council is holding a public hearing on whether to terminate the public restrictive covenant tied to two older zoning cases on a cluster of properties along East Riverside Drive (near Lady Bird Lake and Harper's Branch watersheds). Restrictive covenants set rules on how land can be used, so lifting it could change what's allowed to be built or done on these parcels. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend granting the termination.
