Item 34 Postponedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for two tracts in East Austin at 400 Vargas Road and 6520 Lynch Lane, in the Country Club East and Colorado River watersheds. The owners want to add the DB90 density bonus designation to both tracts \u2014 a tool that lets a project build taller and denser in exchange for including income-restricted units \u2014 and to shift Tract 1 from community commercial to general commercial services. City staff and the Planning Commission both recommend approval, with a conditional overlay attached to Tract 1 that limits certain uses.
