Summary

Austin City Council’s File 26-2428 concerns rezoning 1.078 acres at 301 and 309 E. 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. The ordinance was scheduled for Council action on September 10, 2026.
