26-2528: NPA-2023-0014.04 - 4302 Nuckols Crossing - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 021010-11, the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan an element of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation on the future land use map (FLUM) on property locally known as 4302, 4304 1/2, and 4316 Nuckols Crossing Road (Williamson Creek Watershed) from Single Family to Multifamily Residential land use. Staff Recommendation and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant Multifamily Residential land use. Owner/Applicant: KB Nuckols, LLC (Katherine Barnidge Walker). Agent: LOC Consultants (Sergio Lozano-Sanchez, P.E.). City Staff: Maureen Meredith, Austin Planning, 512-974-2695.Austin’s proposed ordinance would amend the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan, part of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, to change the future land use designation for approximately 6.72 acres at 4302, 4304 ½, and 4316 Nuckols Crossing Road. The designation would shift from “Single Family” to “Multifamily Residential,” allowing future planning for higher-density residential use. The change affects the subject properties and informs city decisions about their potential development. It does not itself rezone the land, create zoning boundaries, or authorize construction; the document states that comprehensive plans are not zoning regulations. The ordinance would take effect upon passage in 2026.26-2529: C14-2025-0065 - 4302 Nuckols Crossing - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 4302, 4304 1/2, and 4316 Nuckols Crossing Road (Williamson Creek Watershed). Applicant Request: To rezone from single-family residence standard lot-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (SF-2-CO-NP) combining district zoning to multifamily residence medium density-neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning. Staff Recommendation and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant multifamily residence medium density-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (MF-3-CO-NP) combining district zoning. Owner/Applicant: KB Nuckols, LLC (Katherine Barnidge Walker). Agent: LOC Consultants Civil Division (Sergio Lozano Sanchez, P.E.). City Staff: Nancy Estrada, Austin Planning, 512-974-7617.Austin’s proposed Ordinance No. 26-2529 would rezone approximately 6.613 acres at 4302, 4304½, and 4316 Nuckols Crossing Road in the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan area. The property would change from single-family residence, standard lot, conditional overlay, neighborhood plan zoning (SF-2-CO-NP) to multifamily residence, medium density, conditional overlay, neighborhood plan zoning (MF-3-CO-NP). The ordinance limits development to no more than 40 dwelling units. All other MF-3 zoning rules and applicable City Code requirements would apply, while the Franklin Park Neighborhood Plan zoning ordinance would remain in effect unless modified. The change affects future development of the specified tract and establishes the legal basis for potential multifamily housing.26-2404: Approve a resolution declaring the City of Austin as a Book Safe Harbor, signifying the City’s commitment to safeguarding equitable access to library materials, protecting the community’s freedom to read, and upholding established policies and processes that ensure thoughtful and transparent consideration of any concerns regarding library materials.Austin Resolution No. 26-2404 would designate the City of Austin as a “Book Safe Harbor.” The measure applies primarily to the Austin Public Library and its users, reaffirming residents’ equitable access to library materials and freedom to read across a wide range of viewpoints and subjects. It supports APL’s existing collection-development and reconsideration policies, professional standards, and trained staff responsible for selecting and evaluating materials. Any concerns would continue to be handled through established, thoughtful, and transparent processes rather than removal based solely on viewpoint. The resolution also recognizes libraries’ civic role in supporting learning, informed participation, and open inquiry, and builds on Austin’s 2022 Freedom to Read resolution. It coincides with APL’s 100th anniversary in 2026.26-2405: Approve a settlement in Cody Jones, Tiffany Jones, individually and as next friend of M.J., a minor v. The City of Austin and Susan Clark, Cause No. D-1-GN-25-004001. Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Liability Reserve Fund.The City of Austin is considering approval of a settlement in *Cody Jones, Tiffany Jones, individually and as next friend of M.J., a minor v. The City of Austin and Susan Clark*, Cause No. D-1-GN-25-004001. The lawsuit concerns personal injuries arising from a collision involving an Austin Facilities Management vehicle. The City Attorney’s Office recommends the action, with funding available from the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Liability Reserve Fund. The item affects the plaintiffs, the City, and its liability reserves, and would resolve the litigation without further court proceedings. The City Council is scheduled to consider the recommendation on August 27, 2026.26-2406: Approve a settlement in Edit Harangozo and Eliza Avramova v. City of Austin, Texas, Rush Truck Centers of Texas, L.P. and Rush Truck Centers of Texas, Inc., Cause No. D-1-GN-25-002980. Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Liability Reserve Fund.The Austin City Council is asked to approve a settlement in *Edit Harangozo and Eliza Avramova v. City of Austin, Texas, Rush Truck Centers of Texas, L.P. and Rush Truck Centers of Texas, Inc.*, Cause No. D-1-GN-25-002980. The lawsuit concerns personal injuries arising from a collision involving an Austin Resource Recovery vehicle. The City Attorney’s Office recommends the settlement, with funding available through the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Liability Reserve Fund. The action would resolve the City’s involvement in the litigation without specifying settlement terms in the document. It primarily affects the parties to the lawsuit and authorizes use of reserved municipal funds to address the claim.26-2407: Briefing on the current status of data center uses in the City and possible future amendments to the City Code or regulations. [Joi Harden, Acting Assistant Director - Austin Planning, Shay Roalson, Director - Austin Water, Stuart Reilly, General Manager - Austin Energy].Austin City Council’s August 25, 2026 briefing (File 26-2407) examines whether current regulations adequately address larger, higher-impact data centers driven by AI and cloud computing. Existing code treats data centers as communications services and does not define, track, or set specific standards for major facilities. Potential impacts include building scale, continuous noise, lighting and heat, backup generators, and significant electricity and water use. Staff recommends new land-use categories, zoning rules, site standards, noise and generator controls, screening, and water- and energy-efficiency requirements. The framework aims to balance economic development with sustainability while protecting utility reliability and community compatibility. A resolution to begin code amendments was proposed for August 27, 2026, with draft regulations expected in spring 2027.26-2408: Authorize negotiation and execution of an agreement with the African American Youth Harvest Foundation for juvenile delinquency prevention services for an initial 12-month term beginning on September 1, 2026, with up to four additional 12-month renewal options, each in an amount not to exceed $100,000, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $500,000. Funding: $100,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget of Austin Public Health. Funding for the remaining years of the agreement is contingent upon available funding in future budgets.Austin City Council is being asked to authorize Austin Public Health to negotiate and execute an agreement with the African American Youth Harvest Foundation for juvenile delinquency prevention services. The contract would begin September 1, 2026, for 12 months, with up to four annual renewals, at $100,000 per term and a maximum total of $500,000. Initial funding is available in the 2026–27 budget; future renewals depend on funding. The state-funded Community Youth Development Program serves youth in ZIP code 78744 through mentoring, leadership, academic and life-skills support, family engagement, and referrals. Austin Public Health will administer the program and oversee culturally responsive community services intended to reduce delinquency and strengthen youth and family supports.26-2409: Approve a resolution authorizing the expenditure of $25,000 from Mayor Kirk Watson’s office operating budget for use by Austin Parks and Recreation to match the funds received from the RCX Sports Foundation’s MLS GO PLAY FUND - NRPA Grant Program to support the City’s new co-ed youth soccer program.Austin Resolution 26-2409 authorizes up to $25,000 from Mayor Kirk Watson’s office operating budget for Austin Parks and Recreation. The funds will match an RCX Sports Foundation MLS GO PLAY FUND–NRPA grant and support a new inclusive, co-ed recreational soccer program for children ages 4–12. Funding may help cover player subsidies, equipment, and safety requirements based on financial need. The program is part of Austin’s MLS GO partnership and will also use 200 official FIFA World Cup 2026 soccer balls donated through the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The authorization is subject to budget approval and expires December 31, 2028, unless reauthorized.26-2410: Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to perform an analysis of appropriate mechanisms to support development and infrastructure investment within the Lakeline Station area (Station Area), generally bounded by West Parmer Lane, U.S. Highway 183, State Highway 45, and Lakeline Boulevard, to evaluate infrastructure investment, redevelopment and economic development and co-location opportunities for public services and civic spaces within the Station Area, and prioritize a partnership strategy for development and implementation.Austin Resolution 26-2410 directs the City Manager to study funding and planning tools for coordinated development around Lakeline Station, generally bounded by Parmer Lane, U.S. 183, SH 45, and Lakeline Boulevard. The study would assess tax and public-private financing, infrastructure grants, and mobility projects such as trails, bikeways, and safer station connections. It would establish a station-area planning zone that includes nearby walksheds and Census Tract 204.08, a proposed federal Opportunity Zone. The resolution seeks mixed-use, mixed-income, affordable and “missing middle” housing; small-business and job growth; redevelopment of commercial sites; and co-location of civic services. It also directs partnerships with CapMetro, Williamson County, Cedar Park, developers, schools, employers, and community organizations. The measure does not itself authorize construction or funding, but creates a roadmap for future policy, capital investments, grants, and potential zoning or PUD changes.26-2411: Authorize negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with Travis County for the City’s provision of animal spay and neuter services to Travis County residents in the unincorporated areas of Travis County for a term of one year beginning on October 1, 2026. Funding: In Fiscal Year 2026-2027, Travis County will pay the City for the services provided by Austin Animal Services through a cost reimbursement model in an amount not to exceed $190,000.Austin’s proposed legislation would authorize a one-year interlocal agreement with Travis County, beginning October 1, 2026. Under the agreement, Austin Animal Services would provide pet spay and neuter services to residents of unincorporated Travis County. The City already uses a third-party vendor for these surgeries and would extend access to eligible county residents through that arrangement. Travis County would reimburse Austin for the vendor-related costs, up to $190,000 during fiscal year 2026–2027. The measure affects county residents outside city limits, Austin Animal Services, and the City’s contracted provider. It establishes a shared funding arrangement to expand access to animal sterilization services without exceeding the authorized reimbursement limit.26-2412: Approve a resolution initiating amendments to City Code Chapter 25-12 (Technical Codes) by adopting new local amendments to establish regulations related to mold, including standards and protocols for the inspection and remediation of mold; directing the City Manager to improve public awareness and education regarding home repair programs, mold prevention and remediation, impacts to health, and other mold related issues; and further directing the City Manager to ensure all housing developments that receive financial assistance from the City adhere to certain standards.Austin Resolution 26-2412 would begin amending City Code Chapter 25-12 to create local rules for identifying, inspecting, and remediating mold in rental housing, consistent with state law. It responds to concerns that mold can harm health, often results from leaks or faulty HVAC, plumbing, drainage, or ventilation, and is not specifically regulated under Austin’s current Property Maintenance Code. The City Manager must consult housing providers, licensed professionals, insurers, health experts, and tenant organizations; expand public education; and develop standards for City-supported housing, including inspections, remediation plans, and tenant reporting procedures. A draft ordinance and affordability and operational analysis are due to Council by May 2027.26-2414: Approve an ordinance waiving or reimbursing certain fees related to Velocity Music Academy's Benefit Concert to be held at the Zilker Hillside Theater on September 26, 2026.Austin City Council agenda item 26-2414 proposes waiving or reimbursing $566 in Austin Arts, Culture, Music & Entertainment fees for Velocity Music Academy’s benefit concert at Zilker Hillside Theater on September 26, 2026. The amount covers the facility reservation fee. If approved, the City’s General Fund would record $566 in unrealized revenue because the fee would not be collected. The waiver would also reduce remaining fiscal-year fee-waiver allocations for sponsoring and supporting council offices: Laine by $166, and Alter, Ellis, Qadri, and Duchen by $100 each. The ordinance would apply specifically to this event.26-2415: Approve an ordinance waiving or reimbursing certain fees related to We Luv Video's 3rd Anniversary Block Party held at 100 North Loop Boulevard East on July 25, 2026.Austin City Council File 26-2415 proposes an ordinance waiving or reimbursing the $199 Austin Arts, Culture, Music, & Entertainment application-processing fee for We Luv Video’s third-anniversary block party, held July 25, 2026, at 100 North Loop Boulevard East. The action would reimburse the event’s full fee and reduce potential General Fund revenue by $199 in the FY 2025–26 operating budget. Under the city’s fee-waiver policy, the remaining fiscal-year waiver allocations would be reduced for Council Member Zohaib Qadri ($119), Mayor Kirk Watson ($20), Mayor Pro Tem José Vela ($20), and Council Members Natasha Harper-Madison and José Velásquez ($20 each). The proposal is sponsored by Qadri and co-sponsored by the listed officials.26-2416: Approve an ordinance waiving or reimbursing certain fees related to Club Libertad Austin's 2026 VI World Marinera Competition held at the Pan American Recreation Center on August 16, 2026.Austin City Council File 26-2416 proposes an ordinance waiving or reimbursing Parks and Recreation facility reservation fees for Club Libertad Austin’s 2026 VI World Marinera Competition, held August 16, 2026, at the Pan American Recreation Center. The event’s estimated fees total $1,883. The fiscal note states that $1,100 would be reimbursed, while $783 would remain unpaid; the ordinance lists $1,883 as waived or reimbursed. The reimbursement would reduce expected General Fund revenue by $1,100 in the FY 2025–26 budget. Under the city’s fee-waiver policy, remaining council office waiver allocations would also be reduced by specified amounts. Sponsors include Council Members José Velásquez, Natasha Harper-Madison, Vanessa Fuentes, Ryan Alter, and Marc Duchen.26-2417: Authorize additional contingency funding for the construction contract for the 7th Street and Springdale Road Intersection Improvements Project for Austin Transportation and Public Works with MA Smith Contracting Co., Inc., to increase the contract contingency by $297,010, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $2,475,085. Funding: $297,010 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Transportation and Public Works.Austin City Council is asked to authorize an additional $297,010 in contingency funding for the 7th Street and Springdale Road Intersection Improvements Project in District 3 (ZIP 78702). The funding would raise the construction contract with MA Smith Contracting Co., Inc. to a total amount not to exceed $2,475,085 and is available in the Austin Transportation and Public Works capital budget. Begun in June 2026, the project aims to improve safety, mobility, and connectivity for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders through raised medians, upgraded signals, intersection redesign, and new markings and paving. Unforeseen conditions, including delays obtaining permanent signal poles and the need for temporary signals, have nearly exhausted the original 10% contingency. The added funds would support future change orders and continued construction.26-2418: Approve a resolution appointing one member each to the Boards of Directors of Southeast Travis County Municipal Utility District #1, Southeast Travis County Municipal Utility District #2, Southeast Travis County Municipal Utility District #3, and Southeast Travis County Municipal Utility District #4, as provided for in the consent agreements with each respective district. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact.The proposed Austin City Council resolution appoints one City representative to each of four Southeast Travis County Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), as required by the districts’ consent agreements with Austin. Veronica Escalante, Reed Baker, and Peggy Carrasquillo would be reappointed to MUDs 1, 2, and 3, respectively, for terms ending November 30, 2030; each would begin a second four-year term. Aurora Castañeda would be appointed to MUD 4 for her first full four-year term after filling a vacancy. These appointments maintain Austin’s designated representation on the MUD boards and comply with requirements to fill vacancies within 60 days. The action has no fiscal impact.26-2419: Approve a resolution prioritizing how fee-in-lieu funds generated by the Citywide Density Bonus Program should be spent on affordable housing. Funding: This item would establish a target income level for City investments in affordable housing using future fee-in-lieu revenue that is generated through the Citywide Density Bonus program. The item would not impact the overall amount of fee-in-lieu collected.Austin Resolution 26-2419 would direct that, whenever possible, fee-in-lieu payments from the Citywide Density Bonus Program be used to create rental housing affordable to households earning no more than 30% of Median Family Income (MFI). The program allows developers receiving zoning benefits—such as added height, greater density, expanded uses, and relaxed development standards—to provide affordable units or pay fees instead. The policy responds to Austin producing just over 4% of its annual goal of 2,000 deeply affordable units. It would affect future affordable-housing investments but would not change fee amounts or create a fiscal impact. The Citywide Density Bonus Program was established in May 2026.26-2420: Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending City Code Section 25-2-656 (Citywide Density Bonus (DBC) Combing District Regulations) to allow an applicant using the Citywide Density Bonus Program to pay a fee in lieu of providing on-site, income-restricted rental units. Funding: If it is approved, this item would require certain projects participating in the Citywide Density Bonus program to provide on-site affordable housing rather than being allowed to provide fee-in-lieu. This item could result in a reduction in the overall amount of fee-in-lieu collected under the program over time, but the reduction would be offset by the provision of on-site affordable housing units by the development.Austin’s proposed ordinance (File 26-2420), considered September 10, 2026, amends the Citywide Density Bonus Program created by Ordinance No. 20260521-056. It would require rental developments within the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD) district—generally areas near Austin Light Rail Phase 1 and priority extensions—to provide income-restricted units onsite rather than pay a fee-in-lieu. Outside ETOD, rental developments could pay an equivalent fee to the Housing Trust Fund. Ownership projects within ETOD would retain a fee-in-lieu option. The program otherwise requires at least 10% affordable rental units for households at or below 50% of Median Family Income, or ownership units for households at or below 80%. The change aims to place affordable housing near transit, support anti-displacement and ETOD goals, and align related density-bonus programs. It would take effect October 1, 2026.26-2421: NPA-2022-0005.01 - Vargas Mixed Use - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 010927-05 the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan, an element of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, to change the land use designation on the future land use map (FLUM) on property locally known as 400 Vargas Road and 6520 Lynch Lane (Country Club East and Colorado River Watersheds) from Commercial to Mixed Use land use.

Agent: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase and Ron Thrower). City Staff: Maureen Meredith, Austin Planning, 512-974-2695.Austin City Council File 26-2421 proposes amending the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan and Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. It would change the future land use designation for 4.3 acres at 400 Vargas Road and 6520 Lynch Lane from Commercial to Mixed Use. The applicant seeks related zoning changes that could allow residential and commercial development, potentially including up to about 150 housing units, subject to later site-plan review and compatibility requirements. Staff and the Planning Commission support the amendment, citing transit, sidewalks, nearby services, and housing opportunities. The Council hearing was scheduled for September 10, 2026, with action pending. The plan amendment itself does not establish zoning or authorize construction.26-2422: C14-2022-0107 - Vargas Mixed Use - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 400 Vargas Road and 6520 Lynch Lane (Country Club East and Colorado River Watersheds). Applicant Request: To rezone from community commercial-neighborhood plan (GR-NP) combining district zoning to general commercial services-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (CS-DB90-NP) combining district zoning on Tract 1 and to rezone from neighborhood commercial-neighborhood plan (LR-NP) combining district zoning to neighborhood commercial-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (LR-DB90-NP) combining district zoning on Tract 2. Staff Recommendation and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant general commercial services-conditional overlay-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (CS-CO-DB90-NP) combining district zoning on Tract 1 and neighborhood commercial-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (LR-DB90-NP) combining district zoning on Tract 2.

City Staff: Nancy Estrada, Austin Planning, 512-974-7617.File ID 26-2422 proposes rezoning 4.303 acres at 400 Vargas Road and 6520 Lynch Lane in the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan area. Tract 1 would change from GR-NP to CS-CO-DB90-NP; Tract 2 from LR-NP to LR-DB90-NP. The DB90 designation permits increased development potential in exchange for income-restricted housing requirements. Tract 1 would have an 80% impervious-cover limit and prohibit several intensive uses, including automotive services, adult businesses, kennels, and vehicle storage. The ordinance would also waive required ground-floor commercial or civic uses on Tract 2. Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval, but Council action has been repeatedly postponed; the September 10, 2026 hearing remains listed.26-2423: NPA-2023-0002.01 - Christ Church Planning - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 990513-70 the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan, an element of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, to change the land use designation on the future land use map (FLUM) on property locally known as 112 and 206 Medina Street, 1005 and 1010 East 2nd Street, and 105 San Marcos Street (Waller Creek Watershed) from Single Family, Recreation and Open Space, and Civic to Mixed Use land use. Staff Recommendation and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant Mixed Use land use. Owner/Applicant: Christ Church of Central Austin. Agent: Thrower Design, LLP (Victoria Haase and Ron Thrower). City Staff: Maureen Meredith, Austin Planning, 512-974-2695.Austin City Council’s File 26-2423 concerns a proposed amendment to the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan for about 1.3 acres owned by Christ Church of Central Austin at 112 and 206 Medina Street, 1005 and 1010 East Second Street, and 105 San Marcos Street. It would change the Future Land Use Map designation from Single Family, Recreation and Open Space, and Civic to Mixed Use. This plan change could support a combination of church facilities, offices, housing, affordable housing, parking, and limited retail, but it does not itself change zoning or authorize development. Related zoning cases seek Commercial Services zoning with mixed-use, conditional-overlay, and density-bonus provisions. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval, citing transit, sidewalks, nearby services, and proximity to activity centers. Council action was pending for September 10, 2026, while the applicant requested another postponement.26-2424: C14-2024-0010 - Christ Church Planning - SOUTH - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 112 Medina, 1005 East 2nd Street, and 105 San Marcos Street (Waller Creek Watershed).

Owner/Applicant: Christ Church of Central Austin. Agent: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower and Victoria Haase). City Staff: Jonathan Tomko, Austin Planning, 512-974-1057.The Austin City Council backup concerns a proposed rezoning of 1.33 acres at 112 Medina Street, 1005 East 2nd Street, and 105 San Marcos Street in the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan area. Christ Church seeks to change the property from SF-3-NP residential zoning to CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP, allowing mixed-use development, including expanded church facilities and 33 rental apartments. A conditional overlay would prohibit numerous uses, such as automotive services, hotels, entertainment, and financial services. Planning Commission supported the request, while city staff recommended less-intensive LR-MU-V-CO-NP zoning to transition toward nearby homes. The applicant requested another indefinite postponement for September 10, 2026.26-2425: C14-2024-0017 - Christ Church Planning - NORTH - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 206 Medina and 1010 East 2nd Street (Waller Creek Watershed).

The property, owned by Christ Church of Central Austin, is currently an undeveloped gravel parking lot. The overlay would prohibit numerous uses, including automotive services, hotels, entertainment venues, financial services, and warehousing. The zoning could support mixed-use development, including housing, while applying compatibility standards near single-family homes and a 60-foot height limit. Planning staff recommend less-intensive LR zoning, citing neighborhood transition and traffic concerns. The applicant requested an indefinite postponement for the September 10, 2026 hearing, so no final ordinance had been adopted.26-2427: C14-2026-0043 - 4201 Westbank Retail - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 4201 Westbank Drive (Eanes Creek Watershed).

The property already contains a multi-tenant retail building, parking, and businesses including a furniture store, restaurant, animal clinic, pharmacy, and dry cleaner. The change would make the existing commercial use conform to Austin’s Land Development Code; no construction or demolition is proposed. City staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommended approval, with no identified issues. Future development would remain subject to drainage, watershed, landscaping, transportation, and other site requirements, including possible right-of-way dedication along Camp Craft Road.26-2428: C14-2026-0014 - Wonsley Grocery & Kitchen - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive (Little Walnut Creek, Buttermilk Branch Watersheds).

Wonsley Drive in Georgian Acres from multifamily residential (MF-2-NP) to neighborhood commercial–mixed use with a conditional overlay (LR-MU-CO-NP). The change would enable a proposed neighborhood market, grocery store, and kitchen serving nearby residents. The overlay prohibits service-station uses and drive-in services tied to financial, food-sale, and restaurant uses. Several retail, food, repair, and service uses would require conditional approval. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended the rezoning, which aligns with the area’s Mixed Use designation and supports walkability, food access, transit use, and local jobs. Nearby residents requested postponements to discuss traffic, operations, and waste concerns; another resident submitted support.
