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 .

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 …
