ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-93-0047(RCA) - 1116 & 1120 W. Howard Lane RCA DISTRICT: 7 ADDRESS: 1116 West Howard Lane and 1120 & 1120 1/2 West Howard Lane OWNER/APPLICANT: Howard Route Center, Ltd., Barr Properties Ventures, LLC, C&T Shops on Howard Lane, Ltd. AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) ZONING: CS-CO, GR-CO AREA: 13.927 acres REQUEST: The applicant is proposing to amend a previously approved public restrictive covenant to remove Lot 6A and to update the legal description of the remaining lots, 3-A-B, 4-A and 5- A, subject to the original RC, to include all of current Lot 3-A-B. This will allow Lot 3-A-B to remain in compliance with impervious cover requirements as Lots 3-A-B, 4-A, and 5-A will be construed as a “single site” going forward. CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed amendment to the public restrictive covenant. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 17, 2025: Granted staff’s request for an indefinite postponement by consent (9-0, L. Osta-Lugo-absent); B. Greenberg-1st, R. Puzycki-2nd. October 7, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 03 C14-93-0047(RCA) - 1116 & 1120 W. Howard Lane RCA; District 71 of 13 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: In this case, the applicant is requesting to amend a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1994 in association with zoning case C14-93-0047. The applicant is asking to remove Lot 6A from the restrictive covenant. The remaining lots, Lots 3-A-B, 4-A and 5-A, are still subject to the existing covenant with updated/corrected legal descriptions of those remaining lots as they have since been replatted. The representatives for this case have revised their application from the original restrictive covenant termination request to a restrictive covenant amendment request. The proposed RCA is intended to resolve impervious cover comments from the Environmental staff. It was determined during review of this application that Lot 3-A-B as currently developed has more than 80% impervious cover and if the original restrictive covenant is terminated it will be out of compliance with city code. Therefore, Lot 3AB will now remain subject to the restrictive covenant and be construed as a single site along with Lots 4A and 5A, while separating Lot 6A, as it has a different owner. Since the filing date of that original Restrictive Covenant, the property has been replatted twice and amended such that it is now platted as four lots, Lots 3- A-B, 4-A, 5-A, …
