I live just blocks away from 800 and 801 W. 34th and have always found the skybridge a unique architectural feature. It would be tragic to tear down the buildings just to clear the lot especially without any proposed development plan. Austin would lose the architects’ vision forever simply for reducing the property tax value as there are no proposed plans. That would be a real shame. I live in an historic home on busy Speedway and have many passersby remark on how much they appreciate that the City recognizes the contribution that historic properties make to the fabric of its neighborhoods. The previous owners wanted to demolish it too, but thankfully the neighborhood and the HLC intervened. It stands proudly on the corner of 35th and Speedway. 1 Please vote to add Historic zoning to protect the former Austin Diagnostic Clinic properties at 800 & 801 W. 34th. This would allow the properties to retain their unique characteristics, encourage the owner to clean it up and maintain the exterior, and challenge any future architects that would be tasked …

MEMORANDUM To: From: Mayor and City Council Michael Rogers, Assistant City Manager Susana Carbajal, Assistant City Manager Date: October 5, 2026 Subject: 1107 Castle Ridge Road Wastewater Service Extension Request No. 6451 Service Extension Requests (SERs) located outside of the City of Austin’s full purpose jurisdiction and not within the Desired Development Zone require City Council approval and review by the Environmental and Water and Wastewater Commissions. Austin Water and Austin Watershed Protection staff have completed the review for 1107 Castle Ridge Road Wastewater Service Extension Request (SER) No. 6451, and both departments recommend approval of the request. Summary of Proposed Development The 1107 Castle Ridge Road project consists of approximately 2.85 acres (Property). The Property is located entirely within the City’s 2-mile Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), Impact Fee Boundary, Austin Water’s service area for wastewater, the Drinking Water Protection Zone, the Barton Creek Watershed, the Barton Springs Zone, and the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. The Property is generally located west of Loop 360 and north of Lost Creek Boulevard, near City Council district 8 in zip code 78746. There is an existing single-family home on this lot that receives water service from Travis County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No. 10 and has a privately owned and operated onsite sewage facility (OSSF) for its wastewater service. Parkside Homes, LLC (Owner) is proposing to demolish the existing home, abandon the OSSF, and redevelop the tract with three single-family homes. The Owner requested that the City provide centralized wastewater service to the Property. In response to the request, Austin Water determined that the Owner must construct infrastructure to receive wastewater services from Austin Water. These requirements are reflected in SER No. 6451. Travis County WCID No. 10 will continue to provide retail water service to the Property. The Owner previously submitted SER No. 5845 and SER No. 6290. The initial application for SER No. 5845 was approved on consent by City Council on October 10, 2024, but subsequently expired. The Owner later submitted SER No. 6290 but it was denied by City Council on April 23, 2026, over concerns related to the ability for the property to remove itself from the ETJ, thereby no longer being held to the high standards of environmental protections required by the Save Our Springs Ordinance Date: Subject: October 5, 2026 1107 Castle Ridge Road Wastewater Service Extension Request No. 6451 Nearby SER Activity There are …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0019 – Dalton Airport Overlay Rezoning DISTRICT: 2 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 1019 Dalton Lane PROPERTY OWNER: HPI Acquisition, LLC AGENT: Winstead PC (Micah King) ZONING TO: LI SITE AREA: 16.25 acres (707, 850 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant limited industrial services – conditional overlay (LI-CO) combined district zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses: • Basic Industry • Custom Manufacturing • Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility • Light Manufacturing • Recycling Center • Resource Extraction • Scrap and Salvage ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 6, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The applicant is amenable to staff’s recommendation of LI-CO with the prohibited uses listed above. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 16.25 acres, developed with a plant nursery with access to Dalton Lane, an ASMP level 2 street and Sherman Road an ASMP level 1 street. The site is currently designated interim – rural residential (I-RR) combined district zoning. 02 C14-2026-0019 - Dalton Airport Overlay Rezoning; District 21 of 10 C14-2026-0019 2 The surrounding zoning patterns consist of light industrial, commercial and automotives uses, single family residential and mobile home parks (I-RR; I-SF-2; CH-CO; CS-CO; LI- CO; MH). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting limited industrial services – conditional overlay (LI-CO) combined district zoning to allow for a broader range of uses that align with the existing developments in the area. Please refer to Exhibit C (Applicant’s Summary Letter). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The limited industrial service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. The conditional overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Limited warehousing and distribution zoning is generally a low intensive, low traffic generating land use. With the addition of the prohibited uses in the conditional overlay restricting the more intensive land uses on the property, the environmentally sensitive property will have a lower impact from the future land use. …
Dylan and Katherine Thorwaldson 7905 Woodcroft Dr. Austin, TX 78745 To Whom It May Concern, We live nearby and support the proposed rezoning to CS at 3601 Davis Ln. There are already many businesses along Brodie and Davis, and we do not think a storage facility would have much impact on traffic compared with other types of development. It would also be convenient for families and homeowners in the surrounding neighborhoods. The lot has sat vacant for a long time, and we think having an active, maintained property there would be an improvement. The project would also expand the city’s tax base to help pay for community needs. For those reasons, we are in favor of the rezoning. Sincerely, Dylan and Katherine Thorwaldson eSign ID: 2f542a02-163c-4af5-b30c-f1ac4651ed8503 C14-2026-0057 - 3601 Davis Lane; District 81 of 2 03 C14-2026-0057 - 3601 Davis Lane; District 82 of 2

Curb Management Plan Briefing Austin Transportation & Public Works | October 6, 2026 Agenda • Overview • Accomplished in the Plan Process • Key Challenges and Findings • Curb Typologies • Recommended Curb Management Strategies & Pilots Implementation Roadmap • • Staff Next Steps 2 Overview The Curbside Management Plan (CMP) is: A citywide, policy-informed operational framework.
