ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0097- 1716 San Antonio St Rezoning DISTRICT: 9 ZONING FROM: GO ZONING TO: DMU-CO ADDRESS: 1716 San Antonio Street SITE AREA: 0.1352 acres (5, 889 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: 1716 San Antonio Property, LLC AGENT: Husch Blackwell, LLP (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combined zoning district. The conditional overlay will limit the height on the property to a maximum of 60 feet. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 16, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A 04 C14-2025-0097 - 1716 San Antonio St Rezoning; District 91 of 19 C14-2025-0097 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 0.13 acres, is developed with one building, has access to West 18th Street (level 1) and San Antonio Street (level 1), and is currently zoned general office (GO) zoning district. This site is in the Northwest District of the Downtown Area Plan. The area is characterized as mixed use with residential, offices, personal services and restaurants (DMU; DMU-CO; CS; CS-1; GO; CS; ). The Travis County Courthouse is to the east and is zoned public (P). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The staff is recommending the downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combined zoning district as requested by the applicant. The proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning patterns in this area as there is existing DMU zonings to the south, east and west. The Downtown Austin Plan is supportive of both retail and office uses. Based on the information above, staff believe that the proposed zoning change is supported by the Downtown Austin Plan. The Downtown Area Plan calls for DMU 60 for this tract (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The downtown mixed use district is intended for areas on the periphery of CBD classifications in the central core area, permitting a variety of uses compatible with downtown Austin and allowing intermediate densities as a transition from the commercial core to surrounding districts. Site development regulations are intended to permit combinations of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. The conditional overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed DMU zoning would be consistent with the DMU base district zonings in the area. There are several surrounding properties that have received DMU base district zoning over the years. The rezonings and the current request is reflective of the Downtown Austin Plan’s intent for the properties. 04 C14-2025-0097 - 1716 San Antonio St Rezoning; District 92 of 19 C14-2025-0097 3 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Site North South East West ZONING GO CS; GO DMU-CO; CS-1 DMU; P DMU-CO; GO LAND USES Coalition of Texans with Disabilities Residential; Commercial, Drive Thru Office; Personal Services Travis County Courthouse Office NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: Downtown Austin Plan (Northwest District) WATERSHED: Shoal Creek (Urban) CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR: No SCENIC ROADWAY: No SCHOOLS: Austin Independent School District Bryker Woods Elementary School O Henry Middle School Austin High School COMMUNITY REGISTRY LIST: Austin Independent School District Austin Neighborhoods Council CANPAC City of Austin Downtown Commission Downtown Austin Alliance Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) Friends of Austin Neighborhoods AREA CASE HISTORIES: Historic Austin Neighborhood Association Homeless Neighborhood Association Preservation Austin Shoal Creek Conservancy University Area Partners West Campus Neighborhood Association West Downtown Alliance, Inc.

The property is currently zoned General Office (GO). In accordance with the City’s recommendation, we seek to rezone the property to DMU-CO with the Conditional Overlay restricting the height on the property to 60 feet. This rezoning is requested to allow for the proposed use of Liquor Sales, and the proposed use is a retail liquor store with office space on the second floor. Exhibit C 04 C14-2025-0097 - 1716 San Antonio St Rezoning; District 911 of 19 Cynthia Hadri October 23, 2025 Page 2 On September 16, 2025, the Property Owner met with Abraham Martinez, Senior Planner with Austin Development Services Department, to discuss the Property Owner’s de sire to rezone. During this meeting, they discussed the rezoning process, requirements, and the proposed zoning district change. At this time, the Property Owner intended to request rezoning of the property to Commercial Liquor Sales (CS-1). On September 17th, Abraham Martinez followed up with the Property Owner noting that the proposed rezoning had been presented to the Planning Department. The Planning Department expressed their recommendation and support for a zoning change to DMU-CO provided that a condition be imposed to restrict the maximum height to 60 feet, which is what the Applicant is now requesting. We have attached the correspondence from Abraham Martinez noting the Planning Department's preliminary support. We appreciate your time and consideration of our request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
