The applicant is requesting to zone the property to SF-2, Single-Family Residence – Standard Lot, to allow for the continued use of the property as a single-family residence and to align with the surrounding zoning pattern and lot sizes.

The site is currently zoned I-SF-2 (Interim Single Family) and we are requesting that it be rezoned to LI-CO (Light Industrial – Conditional Overlay) to accommodate a general warehouse & distribution use, to replace the current warehousing use. We previously met with Bobby Levinski with the Save our Springs Alliance to discuss adding a conditional overlay to the site. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses: - Resource Extraction - Recycling Center - Laundry Services - Service Station - Automotive Rentals - Automotive Repair - Automotive Sales - Automotive Washing - Scrap and Salvage Yards The zoning surrounding the property is as follows: LI (Limited Industrial) to the north, P (Public) to the northeast, and I-SF-2 (Interim Single Family) to the south and west. The lot to the east across Ferguson Cutoff is within the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction of the City of Austin and therefore has no zoning.

To the east, there are single family residences along the southern side of Zimmerman Lane and townhouse/condominium residences along the northern side of Zimmerman Lane that are zoned SF-6-CO. Toward the terminus of Zimmerman Lane, there is a single-family residence zoned DR and an undeveloped area zoned SF-1. The property to the west, is zoned MF-2 and is undeveloped. There is also undeveloped land on the northern side of Zimmerman Lane zoned MF-2-CO. The lot at the northeast corner of N.

In addition, the lot at the southeast corner of Zimmerman Lane and N. FM 620 Road, is developed with a service station (Shell) and a restaurant use (Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Que).
