Attorney

Get the adopted ordinance for Christ Church land use change

Why now: The matter status is still active with an unknown next step after two Council appearances (,), so whether the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan amendment to Ordinance No. 990513-70 took effect is unconfirmed.

What to do: Determine whether Council actually adopted the ordinance on September 10 or again deferred it, by obtaining the Council action record and any adopted ordinance text. Also check what the amendment to Ordinance No. 990513-70 changes for the six parcels, since Single Family, Recreation and Open Space, and Civic parcels would all convert to Mixed Use.

Act before: After the next material record update

Ask why Christ Church land use change keeps returning

Why now: The identical hearing item for NPA-2023-0002.01 appears in both (2026-04-09) and (2026-09-10), with staff and Planning Commission both recommending Mixed Use and no recorded result or next step.

What to do: Ask Austin Planning why this East Cesar Chavez land use change was on Council's agenda on April 9 and again on September 10, 2026, and what happened at the first hearing. Request the minutes or action record from the April 9 item to learn whether it was postponed, continued, or left unfinished, since the public record shows no outcome.

Act before: After the requested records are produced

Check which nearby parcels become mixed use

Why now: The item would change land use on these named properties from Single Family, Recreation and Open Space, and Civic to Mixed Use, with staff contact Maureen Meredith at Austin Planning listed in.

What to do: Compare your address with the six affected properties: 112 and 206 Medina Street, 1005 and 1010 East 2nd Street, and 105 San Marcos Street. Parcels now designated Single Family, open space, or civic would be redesignated Mixed Use if adopted, which could allow different building types next to your block; confirm the final Council outcome with Austin Planning.
