Compare staff and commission zoning for Medina Street rezoning
Applies if: You are considering a joint venture, purchase, or design work involving these parcels or neighboring lots
Why now: Staff recommends LR-MU-V-CO-NP while the Planning Commission recommended CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP 'as amended' for 112 Medina, 1005 East 2nd Street and 105 San Marcos Street, and Council has heard the item twice (2026-04-09 and 2026-09-10) without a recorded outcome.
What to do: Contact planner Jonathan Tomko to confirm which zoning (staff's neighborhood commercial with vertical mixed use, or the commission's general commercial with 90-foot density bonus) is currently proposed and what the conditional overlay limits. The two options allow very different building types, so any acquisition or partnership assumptions depend on which prevails.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why Council keeps hearing church property rezoning
Why now: The same item, C14-2024-0010, appeared on City Council agendas on 2026-04-09 and 2026-09-10 with the staff recommendation (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) differing from both the applicant request and the Planning Commission's amended recommendation (CS-MU-CO-DB90-NP).
What to do: Ask Austin Planning why this rezoning has returned to Council after an April hearing and what changed between the two agendas. Without that answer, readers can't tell whether the delay reflects negotiation, a revised request, or a stalled ordinance.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
