Item 99 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This is a public hearing and ordinance on a site-specific amendment to the Save Our Springs Initiative, the city's landmark water-quality rules, to accommodate development at 5811 Southwest Parkway in the Barton Springs Zone. SOS ordinance variances are always closely watched in Austin, since the rules cap impervious cover and pollutant runoff in the watersheds that feed Barton Springs, and the amendment is written as the minimum needed for this one site. The item has no fiscal impact.
