Item 44 Postponedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for two AISD-owned properties at 2117 W. 49th Street and 4709 Rosedale Avenue in the Shoal Creek Watershed, shifting them from single-family (SF-3) to the city's highest-density multifamily category with a conditional overlay (MF-6-CO). Both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend granting the change, which opens the door to significantly more housing on land owned by the school district. A valid petition has been filed in opposition, meaning neighbors have formally organized against the request \u2014 a step that raises the vote threshold Council needs to approve it.
