ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0019 – Dalton Airport Overlay Rezoning DISTRICT: 2 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 1019 Dalton Lane PROPERTY OWNER: HPI Acquisition, LLC AGENT: Winstead PC (Micah King) ZONING TO: LI SITE AREA: 16.25 acres (707, 850 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant limited industrial services – conditional overlay (LI-CO) combined district zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses: • Basic Industry • Custom Manufacturing • Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility • Light Manufacturing • Recycling Center • Resource Extraction • Scrap and Salvage ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 6, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The applicant is amenable to staff’s recommendation of LI-CO with the prohibited uses listed above. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 16.25 acres, developed with a plant nursery with access to Dalton Lane, an ASMP level 2 street and Sherman Road an ASMP level 1 street. The site is currently designated interim – rural residential (I-RR) combined district zoning. 02 C14-2026-0019 - Dalton Airport Overlay Rezoning; District 21 of 10 C14-2026-0019 2 The surrounding zoning patterns consist of light industrial, commercial and automotives uses, single family residential and mobile home parks (I-RR; I-SF-2; CH-CO; CS-CO; LI- CO; MH). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting limited industrial services – conditional overlay (LI-CO) combined district zoning to allow for a broader range of uses that align with the existing developments in the area. Please refer to Exhibit C (Applicant’s Summary Letter). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The limited industrial service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. The conditional overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Limited warehousing and distribution zoning is generally a low intensive, low traffic generating land use. With the addition of the prohibited uses in the conditional overlay restricting the more intensive land uses on the property, the environmentally sensitive property will have a lower impact from the future land use. …
Dylan and Katherine Thorwaldson 7905 Woodcroft Dr. Austin, TX 78745 To Whom It May Concern, We live nearby and support the proposed rezoning to CS at 3601 Davis Ln. There are already many businesses along Brodie and Davis, and we do not think a storage facility would have much impact on traffic compared with other types of development. It would also be convenient for families and homeowners in the surrounding neighborhoods. The lot has sat vacant for a long time, and we think having an active, maintained property there would be an improvement. The project would also expand the city’s tax base to help pay for community needs. For those reasons, we are in favor of the rezoning. Sincerely, Dylan and Katherine Thorwaldson eSign ID: 2f542a02-163c-4af5-b30c-f1ac4651ed8503 C14-2026-0057 - 3601 Davis Lane; District 81 of 2 03 C14-2026-0057 - 3601 Davis Lane; District 82 of 2
