ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0091 (Covington Medical) DISTRICT: 7 ZONING FROM: LR-CO TO: GO ADDRESS: 703 E. Covington Drive SITE AREA: 1.51 acres (65,776 sq. ft.) 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: nd. Staff recommends GO, General Office District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 21, 2025: Postponed to November 18, 2025 at the neighborhood's request by consent (10-0, S. Boone-absent); R. Puzycki-1st, A. Flores-2nd. November 18, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0091 - Covington Medical; District 71 of 15 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 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 …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ella, On behalf of the Walnut Creek Neighborhood Association, I would like to request a postponement in this matter, until 2 December 2025. I am the president of the Association and am designated as the primary presenter in opposition at tonight's meeting. The neighborhood association has already requested a postponement. However, I believe, based on a recent very fruitful phone conversation with Victoria Haase (applicant's representative), that applicant may well support this postponement. This postponement will finally give applicant the opportunity to meet with the neighborhood in regards to this zoning request, prior to the 2 December 2025 meeting of ZAP.
