In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning case for three properties in the Waller Creek Watershed near East 2nd Street \u2014 112 Medina, 1005 East 2nd, and 105 San Marcos \u2014 owned by Christ Church of Central Austin. The applicant asks to go from single-family neighborhood plan zoning (SF-3-NP) to general commercial services with mixed use and a DB90 density bonus (CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP), which the Planning Commission recommends as amended. City staff recommends a smaller step up instead: neighborhood commercial with mixed use and a vertical mixed use building designation (LR-MU-V-CO-NP), so the council is choosing between two different scales of development on the site.
