Item 113 Postponedunofficial

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This is a rezoning request for two properties near Saxon Lane and El Mirando Street in East Austin, shifting from townhouse/condo zoning (SF-6-NP) to low-density multifamily (MF-2-NP), which allows a bit more housing density on the land. There's a split in the recommendations here: city staff recommend denying the change, while the Planning Commission recommends granting it. A public hearing is part of the process.
