Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Leslie Currens Monday, December 1, 2025 9:27 PM Historic Preservation Office Postpone the Demolition Permit Decision for Old Rosedale School You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Chairman Heimsath and commission members, As a neighbor near the Rosedale School, I request that you postpone a decision on the demolition of this property, as requested in case number: DA 25-142965. A legal fight over deed restrictions on the property is being waged in court, and it’s premature to consider a permit to demolish the building until the court case is resolved. The building itself may have useful life left on it. Until the future of the property is decided, it would be best not to demolish the building at this time.

I am writing to express my concern as an Austin and Rosedale resident on the hearing tomorrow to decide the historical value and potential demolition of the school. It seems to be premature to hold this hearing while there is a court ruling in the balance on the site's existing deed restriction limiting a single residence per parcel, and the hearing should be postponed until there is clarity on what could be built on the site. There is also an active lawsuit from Austin Independent School District suing the Rosedale H homeowners, which includes myself and my wife. Pretty shocking to be sued by my own school district and feels like a breach of the social contract between citizens and their own government who is supposed to be for them, not against them.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0110 - 12224 ½ N IH-35 DISTRICT: 7 ADDRESS: 12224 ½ N IH-35 Service Road South Bound ZONING FROM: LO TO: IP SITE AREA: 3.5471 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Welcome Industrial Sub 21, LLC APPLICANT/AGENT: Metcalfe Wolff Stuart &Williams, LLP, Katherine Nicely CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends IP, Industrial Park District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 6, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0110 - 12224 ½ N IH-35; District 71 of 11 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 3.5471 acre portion of a larger tract of land that fronts onto the North Interstate-Highway-35 South Bound Service Road. The site is developed with a two- story office/warehouse structure that contains limited warehouse and distribution uses, with surface parking (Advanced Manufacturing R&D). There is a warehouse structure (Culligan) to the north along W. Yager Lane that is zoned LI. The lots to the south are developed with 3-story office buildings (TCEQ) that are zoned GO and IP fronting Park Thirty Five Circle and a construction sales and services use (Hercules Wire Rope & Sling Co.) zoned GR that fronts the IH-35 Service Road. To the west, there is floodplain zoned RR, a warehouse structure with outdoor storage zoned LO and a detention pond zoned IP. In this case, the applicant is requesting IP zoning so that it will be consistent with the existing zoning on the larger portion of this lot to the west (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff recommends IP, Industrial Park District, zoning. The property meets the intent of the IP district as it is located on a major corridor near office, commercial and industrial uses and zoning. It is part of an industrial area and it is located within 0.30 miles from Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor, as designated by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Industrial Park district is intended as an area for limited commercial services, research and development, administrative facilities, and manufacturing uses that can meet high development and performance standards, and typically are located on large sites or in planned industrial centers. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The site under consideration is located …
