Item 92 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This is a zoning tune-up for two tracts on the southbound side of South Mopac in Circle C, out in the Slaughter Creek watershed. The base zoning districts stay the same commercial services-mixed use on Tract 1 and general office-mixed use on Tract 2 but the conditional overlay conditions attached to each would be rewritten, which is where the real limits on uses and development live. City staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission both recommend granting the changes, with the commission signing off on an amended version.
