PROPERTY OWNER: Ishtel Heating Air & Refrigeration (Ishtel Uddin) APPLICANT/AGENT: Encon, LLC (Diane Bernal) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 16, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0084 - Howard Lane Rezoning; District 71 of 13 C14-2025-0084 ISSUES: 2 On January 29, 2024, a code violation was filed for this property for an Enterprise Violation - case number ECV 2024-010063, for an unpermitted commercial development of site (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is a 25,284 sq. ft. lot that contains a warehouse that fronts onto W. Howard Lane and backs up to Daisy Lane, thus allowing access from both streets. There are construction sales and services businesses to the north (ABC Heating and Air Services Supply Co Inc.) in the county and to the west (Demolition Excursion Alliance LLC, Bartlett Tree Experts) zoned CS and CS-1-CO respectively. The lots to the east contain another construction sales and services use (Best Insulation) that was recently rezoned to CS, a vehicle storage use (Eagle Towing) and an office/warehouse use (Jorgenson) zoned LI. There is a manufactured home to south fronting Daisy Drive with LI zoning. In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the property from GR to CS to bring the existing use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General Commercial Services district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. CS zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because the proposed zoning will bring the existing air conditioning repair business/Construction Sales and Services use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. 3. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The CS zoning district would be consistent with the zoning in this area because there is commercial and industrial zoning surrounding this tract of land. There is …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 16, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 03 C14-2025-0070 - McNeil Rezone; District 61 of 13 C14-2025-0070 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 1.81 acre area fronting McNeil Drive that is zoned CS-CO.

In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone this property to CS-1 for Tract 1, the food court area, and CS-CO for Tract 2, the surface parking and warehousing area.
