November 14, 2025 RE: November 18, 2025 - City of Austin Planning Commission Agenda Item 4: Conditional Use Permit: SPC-2024-0377A - HighRoad CUP; District 9 Location: 700 Dawson Road Request: The applicant is requesting an approval of a conditional use permit to allow for a Lodge or Club use of 6,856 square feet to occupy portions of the existing building and the entirety of the swimming pool and decking. Dear Mr. Guerrero, The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association (BCNA) and its zoning committee have met with the applicant and their attorney and have no objection to the granting of this conditional use. After reviewing the site plan, we found that other than the addition of ADA access and a water line, there are no other pending proposals to change the building or site. The club use is in accordance with the decision made by the BCNA General Association at our meeting in December 2023. As this property has been primarily utilized for lodge or club purposes since the 1950s, the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association does not oppose this Conditional Use Permit. CLUB OR LODGE use is the use of a site for provision of meeting, recreational, or social facilities by a private or nonprofit association, primarily for use by members and guests. This use includes private social clubs and fraternal organizations.

The applicant’s request for LO-MU-CO-NP zoning with Mixed Use/Office land use is appropriate in this location.

October 28, 2025: Applicant Postponement Request to November 13, 2025. November 13, 2025: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently one single family home constructed in approximately 1946. To the east of the site is undeveloped land. To the south of the site are three single family homes constructed between approximately 1928 and 1946, and three duplexes constructed between approximately 1945 and 1958. To the west of the site (across Shady Lane) is an approximately 135,000 square foot two-story school constructed in approximately 1957, the Anita Ferrales Coy Facility, formerly known as the John T. Allan Facility. This property was rezoned through C14-2024-0019.SH, see area case histories below. To the north of the site is one two-story industrial building of approximately 22,000 square feet and one warehouse of approximately 8,000 square feet, both constructed in approximately 2015. The subject tract is approximately 1,200 feet southeast of the Springdale Station Imagine Austin Activity Center. The tract is also approximately 300 feet west of Airport Boulevard an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor. 03 C14-2025-0073 - P & P .72; District 31 of 11 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property.

While the area has been traditionally single family in nature there are more intense uses along Airport Boulevard and there is a substantial redevelopment planned across Shady Lane. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. In 2001 the property adjoining the subject tract to the east sought a rezoning from SF-3 to GR and was granted LO (see area case …

I would like to vote, to be build an commercial office building. Best , Olga ************** From: Jenny & Aaron Carrara < Sent: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 2:46 PM To: Boudreaux, Marcelle <Marcelle.Boudreaux@austintexas.gov>; Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Cc: Scruggs, Ed <Ed.Scruggs@austintexas.gov> Subject: Homeowner input - C14-2025-0087 Marcelle and Maureen, First, I want to thank you both for the timely responses you provided to me last week as we learned of the proposed rezoning of land within 500 feet of our home in the Ridge at Lantana neighborhood. Many of us moved to this area of Austin decades ago because of the green spaces, trails and quiet; wanting to escape the fast-paced lifestyle, noise and traffic of the inner-city but also have quick access to downtown where we work and enjoy what the city has to offer. While we are not ignorant to development and rapid population growth in Austin, nor the sprawl to our area of the City, the request to rezone this plot of land from an office building to instead allow for the development of a hotel has been very surprising and jarring. First, I want to reiterate that those of us within the 500 ft impacted area have also been dealing with the USPS prohibiting use of our mailboxes due to vandalism weeks ago - they have indicated restoration could take up to six months. This has required affected residents to visit the local post office to pick up our mail and many of us had not yet done so when the signs were erected overnight on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. We ask that you give us all some grace in learning about all of these notifications in a timely manner since we continue to be hampered by this unavoidable situation - another example of crime in our neighborhood in which we have no recourse. 04 NPA-2025-0025.03 - Lantana Tract 34; District 81 of 2 Second, we understand that this area is currently zoned to be an office building of the same size but the application includes a letter from an interested hotel operator which is a dramatically different business model. Globally this proposed change raises …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Commercial land use. The property has Mixed Use land use to the north, office to the northeast and east, Recreation Open Space and Single Family to west. Commercial land use is appropriate in this location with frontage along W. William Cannon Drive and Rialto Blvd. The applicant proposes to construct a 150-key hotel. Mixed Use Multifamily Office Single Family Office Multifamily Recreation Open Space Below are goals in the Oak Hill Plan that staff feels supports the applicant’s request. The plan supports new development that provides a diversity of services to the area. Although the applicant states the proposed use is a hotel, the proposed zoning would allow for other commercial uses to be developed on the site that could benefit the planning area. 04 NPA-2025-0025.03 - Lantana Tract 34; District 82 of 31 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Office - An area that provides for office uses as a transition from residential to commercial uses, or for large planned office areas.

November 7, 2025 Maureen Meredith, Planning Jonathan Tomko, Planning & Zoning Members of the Planning Commission: The Oak Hill NPCT (OHNPCT) and OHAN object to increasing building height by adding Vertical Mixed Use (changing to MU land use and V zoning) at this key Oak Hill intersection currently home to single-story commercial properties. The OHNPCT and OHAN oppose the changes due to compounded negative impacts added onto the Re-development Exception in the Barton Creek Zone. Traffic and roadway access, the compromise of water quality at Gaines Creek, as well as electrical and water hardship in meeting existing and especially planned growth are escalating concerns. Most importantly, current land use and zoning already will bring substantial commercial as well as possible residential development up to 60 ft. from the existing 1 story development. It allows for coverage of essentially the entire 7 acres without additional height allowances despite being in the Drinking Water Protection Zone. Utilizing current allowances is more than adequate for this site, which already includes an automatic provision of SB840 that allows 378 units under current land use/zoning. This commercial lot remains auto centric without any realistic remedy due to corner traffic congestion at the intersection, inadequate and unpopular transit options, and the boxed in location. Overall, these commercial businesses are key assets to the surrounding community. There is an overabundance of MF & SF housing already built & in the pipeline. For the purpose of minimizing existing roadway congestion & pollution by maintaining nearby access to commercial, retail and restaurant space at this location, upzoning of South Towne is undesirable and opposed by the community at this time.
