PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 26, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 12 C14-2025-0068 - OneTERRA; District 71 of 18 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 4.26 acre (185,346 sq. ft.) lot that is developed with a hotel/motel use. To the north is the frontage road for MoPac Expressway. The lot to the east is developed with a four-story office building with an associated parking garage zoned NBG- TOD-Gateway-NP. The Domain mixed use development, zoned MI-PDA, is located to the south and west across Gault Lane. In this case, the applicant is requesting a rezoning to the Transit Oriented Development-Gateway Zone subdistrict designation (NBG-TOD-Gateway Zone) (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff’s recommendation is to grant the North Burnet/Gateway-Transit Oriented Development-Gateway Zone-Neighborhood Plan (NBG-TOD-NP) Combining District zoning for this property. The TOD-Gateway Zone Subdistrict is consistent with the current subdistrict zoning designation to the east and would permit this lot to be redeveloped with the highest density in the NBG (please see Figure 4-1 TOD: NBG Zoning District General Site Development Standards – Exhibit E). It will encourage a mixture of uses and more density at this location to achieve the vision of the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan. This property is near a proposed Capital Metro rail station along the Red Line, the Broadmoor Station, which officials held a groundbreaking ceremony in January of 2022 on the property fronting Burnet Road known as the Uptown ATX campus. The station is being built to improve access to The Domain, a major high-density business, retail, and residential center. Construction on the project is expected to be completed in 2027. 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. North Burnet/Gateway district is the designation for an identified area of existing low density, auto-oriented commercial, warehouse, and industrial uses that is the subject of an approved master plan for redevelopment of the area into a higher density urban mixed-use …
