Cortes and T. Major-absent); B. Greenberg-1st, D. Fouts-2nd. September 15, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2026-0046 - Howard Plaza; District 11 of 192 C14-2026-0046 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is an undeveloped 8.37 acre tract that fronts onto East Howard Lane. This lot was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received W/LO zoning in 2017 through case C14-2016-0119 (please see Area Case Histories below). The property owner has a site plan – case SP-2023-0053C - that is approved to permit four 15,000 sq. ft. buildings and a 7,200 pavilion on the site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting GR zoning to allow for office (professional office), religious assembly, indoor entertainment (wedding venue) and an indoor sports and recreation use (pickleball courts) within these structures on the property. The staff is recommending GR-CO, Community Commercial-Combining District, zoning for this site. The proposed GR-CO zoning will allow for office, civic and commercial uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. 2. The proposed zoning …
