Approve a resolution initiating the rezoning of approximately 0.32 acres of City-owned property known as the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center Pocket Park (MACC Pocket Park) located at 58 Rainey Street and 64 Rainey Street, to allow for parks and recreation services use.

This is a rezoning request for a cluster of properties at the corner of Chicon Street and Rosewood Avenue in East Austin, in the Boggy Creek Watershed. The applicant wants to add the DB90 density bonus designation to the existing commercial-mixed use zoning, a tool that allows taller buildings in exchange for income-restricted units. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend granting the change.
