Item 116 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a first-reading vote on rezoning three properties along South Lakeshore Boulevard and East Riverside Drive — near Lady Bird Lake — to add them to the South Shore Planned Unit Development. The change swaps East Riverside Corridor zoning for a PUD-neighborhood plan designation, which lets the site operate under its own custom set of development rules rather than standard corridor regulations. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend granting the PUD, with the commission signing off on a modified version. The ordinance may include fee waivers, alternative funding, regulation changes, and property acquisition.
