It's concerning 812 Park Boulevard a demoli(cid:415)on to be heard before the historic Landmark commission. I was wondering they don't intend to remove the Stone wall that there at the entry way apart Boulevard at red River, it's within their property line, I believe but it is historic and there's you know a matching one across the street at 813 Port Boulevard and then down the street on Port Boulevard. A(cid:332)er you pass the creek, that's my only concern and anyway, I'll try to give you a ring back and see if we can actually discuss it thank you. So much. My name is Mary Anderson and I'm at 512-565-1337. Thank you. 1

MLK BLVD Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged You don't often get email from Dear Commissioners, External Email - Exercise Caution The Historic Rogers-Washington Neighborhood Association is writing to request the postponement of the demolition at 2406 E. MLK. This house is a contributing house in our historic district and should remain until further notification from our neighborhood association. The current applicant has not spoken with our neighborhood about this property nor have they submitted any site plans to the city to show what they intend to do with the property. As some may know, it took us 5 years of organizing our neighbors to eventually receive the historic designation. During that process, we created design standards that keep the historical significance alive in our community. These design standards pay respect to the Black architects that built our neighborhood and other parts of East Austin. Given the lack of communication and insight into their plans, the neighborhood association thinks it is prudent to pause the process until plans are shared, we are given time to review the plans to understand how they work with the historic designation and provide feedback to the applicant. We thank you for your review of this case. Please reach out if you have any questions. Signed, Misael Ramos President - Rogers-Washington Holy Cross Neighborhood 1 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

We worked more than five years to obtain our 'preservation district', yet it appears that the hard work and design standards on the books are deemed irrelevant. My fervent request is that this request for demolition be thrown out, or at least postponed pending further analysis and clearer information. No contact has been received from the applicant.

We do not understand any reason to decide or push this through right now, especially given the legal case that’s been raised related to the development, and will need to be settled presumably in court. We heard of the AISD/OHT proposal as a compromise in that part of the old school might be kept as part of the proposed high-rise complex. However, this “compromise” had no participation by the Rosedale residents who have so much at stake in this development. We hope you can hear and heed the people of Rosedale to postpone this decision until the case is resolved. Thank you for your support.

DATE: November 25, 2025 TO: WCNA Board and Neighborhood residents FROM: Thrower Design RE: C14-2025-0091 – IH 35/Covington Responses to issues raised during WCNA meeting November 24, 2025 We greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet last night to discuss the rezoning of the 1.518-acre property located at IH 35 and Covington Drive. There was a lot of discussion associated with any development on the property and some discussion directly related to the rezoning. These are broken down for those two processes. Relevant to the rezoning – 1) The existing zoning is LR, Neighborhood Commercial which allows for development with 40’ of height, 0.5:1 Floor Area Ratio, and 80% impervious cover. 2) The proposed zoning is for GO, General Office to allow for out-patient surgical services. This zoning District allows for development with 60’ in height, 1:1 Floor Area Ratio, and 80% impervious cover. We agree to a Conditional Overlay to accompany the rezoning that will include limiting the height to 40’, and limiting the Floor Area Ratio to 0.5:1 which is equal to the existing zoning site development standards. Relevant to any development of the property regardless of the rezoning – 1) Access - a) Access is proposed to Covington Drive and we are seeking access to IH 35. b) There is ample distance between the large 48” Live Oak (to remain) along the Covington Drive frontage to accommodate a driveway and have distance from the single-family property and not impact the tree. The property is fenced today with a gate in the approximate location of a driveway. c) The driveway to IH 35 can be constructed, but with the ongoing construction of the highway hinders the immediate installation of the driveway. This driveway will also P . O .

December 2, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0091 - Covington Medical; District 71 of 15 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question consists of four lots that make up 1.51 acres located at the southwest corner of East Covington Drive and the N. Interstate Highway-35 South Bound Service Road. There is a vacant service station/convenience store and an office use to the north, across E. Convington Drive, zoned CS-CO. To the south, there is a hotel/motel use zoned GR-CO and office use zoned LO. The lots to the east facing Pollyanne Avenue contain single-family residences and are zoned SF-1. The applicant is requesting a down zoning of this site back to the GO district to develop a medical office/outpatient surgery center (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends GO, General Office District, zoning because the property meets the intent of the zoning district. GO zoning will allow for uses that serve the community needs on a property that fronts onto a major freeway/highway, Interstate Highway-35 South Bound. The proposed GO zoning will be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are commercial and office uses and zoning to the north and the south of the site under consideration. The property is located within the Braker Lane/Blue Goose 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. General Office district is intended for offices and selected commercial uses predominately serving community and city-wide needs. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed GO zoning will be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are commercial and office …
