Item 47 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is the third and final reading of a rezoning for three lots at 7003, 7005, and 7007 Guadalupe Street in the Waller Creek Watershed. The owner, Purple Square One LLC, is asking to move the properties from a mix of multifamily and townhouse/condo zoning to general commercial services with a conditional overlay, keeping the equitable transit-oriented development and density bonus designations that come with being near a transit corridor. The change opens the site to a broader range of commercial uses and greater density along Guadalupe. Council approved first reading 9-1 in July and second reading 11-0 in August.
