Item 38 Passedunofficial

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This is a rezoning request for 4201 Westbank Drive, off in the Eanes Creek Watershed on the west side, that swaps single-family (SF-2) zoning for neighborhood commercial (LR). LR is the city's smallest commercial category, so the change opens the door to modest retail or service uses on a lot currently zoned for a house. City staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission both recommend granting the LR zoning, and a public hearing accompanies the vote.
