Compare three zoning outcomes before planning the church site rezoning
Why now: Applicant requested CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP, staff recommended LR-MU-V-CO-NP, and the Planning Commission recommended CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP "as amended" for 112 Medina, 1005 East 2nd, and 105 San Marcos (C14-2024-0010).
What to do: Model the project under all three zoning tiers on the table: the applicant's general commercial with 90-foot density bonus, staff's lower-intensity neighborhood commercial vertical mixed use, and the Planning Commission's version "as amended." Get the amended conditional overlay text so you know which limits actually govern before pricing any deal on this site.

Ask why the church rezoning hearing was repeated
Why now: Council items on 2026-04-09 and 2026-09-10 for C14-2024-0010 show identical requests with no recorded outcome, and staff (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) differs from the Planning Commission (CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP, as amended).
What to do: Request the amended Planning Commission motion and the staff report explaining the split, and ask why a hearing held in April reappeared in September with no outcome recorded. Readers deserve to know what changed in between, and whether the "as amended" conditions were negotiated in that gap.

Why now: The parcels at 112 Medina, 1005 East 2nd Street and 105 San Marcos are requested to change from SF-3-NP to CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP, while staff recommended LR-MU-V-CO-NP; the contact is listed in the record.
What to do: Ask planner Jonathan Tomko (512-974-1057) which building height and uses the amended conditions would allow, compared with the current single-family zoning. The request moves three parcels from family residence to general commercial with a 90-foot density bonus, a far bigger change than staff's recommendation.
