Compare allowed uses before relying on commercial rezoning
Applies if: You are evaluating or under contract on this parcel or a comparable use
Why now: Staff and the Zoning Commission (9-0 on 2026-09-01) recommended approval of the change from O-2 to C-2 on 0.3447 acres at 3857 East Southcross Boulevard, while the MLOD-3 MLR-2 overlay carries through unchanged in the request.
What to do: Pull the permitted-use lists for the current high-rise office district and the proposed commercial district, and check them against your intended use for this 0.3447-acre site. Also confirm what the military lighting overlay (Region 2) requires of exterior lighting, since the overlay stays in place after the change.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why commercial rezoning was continued twice
Why now: The case drew a unanimous 9-0 Zoning Commission vote on 2026-09-01 and a staff recommendation of approval, yet it appeared at Council on 2026-10-01 and again on 2026-11-05 (continued from October 1), its third appearance.
What to do: Find out who requested the continuation of this rezoning from October 1 and what changed, and whether the applicant has plans for the site. Nothing in the record names the applicant or the intended use, so the public cannot judge the change from office to commercial.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
