Summary
The City of Austin is considering a zoning change for a 3.166-acre property located at 8901 East U.S. 290 Highway. The proposal seeks to rezone the site from community commercial-conditional overlay (GR-CO) and limited industrial service-conditional overlay (LI-CO) to limited industrial service (LI) zoning. This change, supported by city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission, aims to facilitate the development of a convenience store with a gas station. The current zoning includes a trip limit of 2,000 vehicle trips per day, which the applicant seeks to remove to accommodate increased traffic from the development. This legislation is significant as it aligns with the city's plans to promote industrial use near major roadways
