Summary
The City of Austin is reviewing a zoning change request for a 170.144-acre industrial park located at 3900 W Howard Lane, currently zoned as Limited Industrial (LI) and proposed to be converted to Limited Industrial-Planned Development Area (LI-PDA). The property owner, ICU Medical Pearl LLC, represented by Drenner Group, aims to allow additional commercial uses while prohibiting more intensive industrial activities. The staff recommends this change, which would increase the maximum building height from 60 to 140 feet, aligning with surrounding industrial zones and facilitating a mix of research and warehousing services. This zoning adjustment is significant for promoting economic development in the area, supporting local job creation, and enhancing land use compatibility within the Howard Station Neighborhood Center
