ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0098(RCT) - 600 Harthan RCT DISTRICT: 9 ZONING: CS-MU-CO-HD-NP ADDRESS: 600 Harthan Street PROPERTY OWNER: 1214 West 6th, LP SITE AREA: 0.28 acres (12,197 sq.ft.) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a termination of the restrictive covenant conditions for this property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 13, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting to terminate/delete a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1984 on Lots and 3 of the Taylor-Smith subdivision (Please see Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). This covenant added building restrictions to Lot 3. Building restrictions included a 6 foot setback from the common boundary line. However, in 2018 Lots 3 and 4 were re-subdivided into one lot which removed the common boundary line. (Please see Public Restrictive Covenant - Exhibit D). 10 C14-2025-0098(RCT) - 600 Harthan RCT; District 9 1 of 12 C14-2025-0098(RCT) 2 The staff recommends the applicant’s request to delete the conditions of this public restrictive covenant. Since this restrictive covenant was executed and recorded, the property in question has been re-subdivided. The area under consideration is now known as Lot A of the Amended Plat of Lots 3 and 4 Taylor-Smith subdivision. The staff supports the deletion of this public restrictive covenant because items listed in this public restrictive covenant will now be regulated under the zoning district site development standards and other requirements stipulated by the Land Development Code. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation.
