Item 125 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for three properties on Guadalupe Street in the Waller Creek Watershed. The applicant wants to shift from various multifamily and townhouse/condo residential zoning to general commercial services with a conditional overlay, all within the equitable transit-oriented development density bonus framework. City staff and the Planning Commission differ on the recommendation — staff suggests a moderate-high density multifamily category, while the Planning Commission backs the commercial services zoning the applicant requested.
