Verify what the commercial mixed-use rezoning actually allows on Medina Street
Applies if: You are evaluating a purchase, lease, or partnership with Christ Church of Central Austin on this site
Why now: Applicant requested CS-MU-V-CO-NP, staff recommended LR-MU-V-CO-NP, and the Planning Commission recommended CS-MU-V-CO-NP 'as amended' for 206 Medina and 1010 East 2nd Street, and the item appeared on both 2026-04-09 and 2026-09-10.
What to do: Compare the three zoning outcomes on the table (applicant's general commercial, staff's neighborhood commercial, Planning Commission's general commercial 'as amended') and pull the conditional overlay text to see which uses and limits survive. Any pro forma built on the wrong tier will be off.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why the church rezoning returned months after first hearing
Why now: The same case (C14-2024-0017) appeared before City Council on 2026-04-09 and 2026-09-10, with staff recommending LR-MU-V-CO-NP while the Planning Commission recommended CS-MU-V-CO-NP 'as amended'.
What to do: Request the Planning Commission's amendment language and the staff memo explaining the split from the commission. Ask why the item was heard on April 9 and again September 10 without a final result in the record.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Check which commercial uses could replace houses near Medina Street
Applies if: You live or own property near 206 Medina or 1010 East 2nd Street
Why now: The rezoning moves 206 Medina and 1010 East 2nd Street from SF-3-NP to a commercial mixed-use district, with staff and the Planning Commission recommending different intensity levels, and City Staff contact is Jonathan Tomko.
What to do: Ask city planner Jonathan Tomko (512-974-1057) for the conditional overlay's list of prohibited uses and any height or vertical mixed-use limits. The current single-family zoning would change to commercial mixed-use, so confirm what could be built next to your property.
Act before: After the next material record update
