PROPERTY OWNER: LX Enterprises LLC (Yixian Lui) AGENT: Thrower Design (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GO, General Office District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 21, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0091 - Covington Medical; District 71 of 15 C14-2025-0091 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question consists of four lots that make up 1.51 acres located at the southwest corner of East Covington Drive and the N. 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 uses and zoning to the north (CS-CO) and to the south (GR-CO, LO) of the property along the IH-35 frontage road. The property is located within the Braker Lane/Blue Goose Activity Corridor. There are alternative transportation services in this …
