Summary
The City of Austin is considering an ordinance to rezone a portion of the property at 1811 East Cesar Chavez Street from General Commercial Services-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay-Neighborhood Plan (CS-MU-CO-NP) to Commercial-Liquor Sales-Conditional Overlay-Neighborhood Plan (CS-1-CO-NP). This change would allow for a liquor store on approximately 1,000 square feet of the property, which currently houses a convenience store and a single-family home. The rezoning affects nearby residential areas, raising concerns about compatibility with existing uses and potential increased alcohol-related issues in the area. Staff recommends denial due to the existing concentration of liquor establishments and potential impacts on the residential neighborhood, while the Planning Commission has recommended approval
