Obtain redline amending 2009 South Shore planned unit development ordinance
Context: The July 23, 2026 notice lists the owner/applicant as 1717 Lakeshore, LP and Morrison-Moore Properties, Ltd., while the April 23, May 7 and May 28, 2026 notices list Grayco SS Land 2011, LP and Morrison-Moore Properties, Ltd., with staff contact Jonathan Tomko, AICP, 512-974-1057.
Recommended: Request from Austin Planning staff the draft ordinance text showing exactly how Ordinance No. 20091217-126 is being amended to fold in the three new tracts, plus the list of Planning Commission modifications behind the phrase 'as modified.' Ask whether the applicant substitution recorded between the May 28 and July 23 notices required any refiled applicant authorization or updated ownership affidavit — without that document you cannot assess whether the notice chain supports the pending first reading.
Compare South Lakeshore rezoning terms against East Riverside Corridor rules
Context: The April 23, May 7, May 28 and July 23, 2026 Council items all describe the same request to rezone from East Riverside Corridor (Corridor Mixed Use subdistrict) to planned unit development-neighborhood plan and to amend Ordinance No. 20091217-126, with possible fee waivers and regulation modifications.
Recommended: Pull the proposed planned unit development ordinance and the Planning Commission's 'as modified' recommendation for 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive, and line up its height, setback and site-development terms against the East Riverside Corridor Mixed Use subdistrict baseline the sites sit in today. The staff notice states the ordinance may include fee exemptions or waivers, alternative funding methods and modifications of City regulations — those are the entitlements worth pricing, and they are still being negotiated because only first reading has been noticed.
Ask why applicant changed on Lakeshore Boulevard rezoning case
Context: The applicant is listed as Grayco SS Land 2011, LP on the April 23, May 7 and May 28, 2026 notices but as 1717 Lakeshore, LP on the July 23, 2026 notice, across four postings of the same first-reading item.
Recommended: Ask Austin Planning and agent Michael J. Whellan of Armbrust & Brown why the owner/applicant on this South Lakeshore Boulevard rezoning switched entities partway through, and request the deed or assignment plus any updated agent authorization. Then ask why the item has been noticed four times since April without a first-reading approval — staff and the Planning Commission both recommended granting it, so the holdup is not a staff-commission split.
Get modification list for Lakeshore Boulevard lakefront rezoning request
Context: Each of the four 2026 Council notices seeks to rezone those three addresses out of the East Riverside Corridor Mixed Use subdistrict into a planned unit development-neighborhood plan district, with city staff contact Jonathan Tomko, AICP, 512-974-1057.
Recommended: Call city planner Jonathan Tomko at 512-974-1057 and ask for the specific Planning Commission modifications and the proposed development program for 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive, which sit in the Lady Bird Lake Watershed. Approval would replace the corridor zoning that applies today with project-specific planned unit development rules, so height, setbacks and site standards along this stretch of lakefront would be governed by the negotiated ordinance rather than the corridor code.
