Item 45 Postponedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a zoning case for four properties along South Capital of Texas Highway Southbound in the Eanes Creek Watershed, where the owner wants to shift from limited office and neighborhood commercial zoning to a neighborhood commercial designation that allows a vertical mixed use building with a conditional overlay and DB90 density bonus. DB90 lets a project build taller and denser in exchange for including income-restricted housing, so the outcome shapes how much residential the site can hold alongside commercial space. Both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend granting the change. A public hearing is part of the item.
