Springdale Farm Rezoning

Context: Item C14-2026-0004 heard May 21, 2026 is styled a 'Follow-Up' and carries staff and Planning Commission recommendations to grant the same district while changing conditions, with agent Michael J. Whellan of Armbrust & Brown, PLLC.

Recommended: Request the draft amending ordinance and the prior conditional overlay ordinance for these tracts and compare them condition by condition, since the staff description states only that conditions change without listing which are deleted, added, or relaxed. Frame the core question for your client: does the amendment remove any use prohibition, trip cap, or site restriction that neighbors or a prior agreement relied on?

Context: The May 21, 2026 Council item for C14-2026-0004 requests rezoning from CS-MU-CO-NP to CS-MU-CO-NP solely 'to change conditions of zoning,' with staff contact Jonathan Tomko, AICP, at 512-974-1057.

Recommended: The base district stays identical — general commercial services-mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan before and after — so every entitlement change sits inside the conditional overlay condition list, not the district. Get the draft ordinance exhibit and the superseded overlay conditions from the case planner before pricing any added floor area, use mix, or trip capacity at 735/755/755 1/2 Springdale Road and 740 Mansell Avenue.

Context: The May 21, 2026 Council item C14-2026-0004 is titled 'Springdale Farm Follow-Up' and seeks a same-district-to-same-district rezoning, an unusual filing whose substance is not stated in the agenda language.

Recommended: The agenda item is labeled a 'Follow-Up,' which implies earlier Council action or postponement that this record does not describe. Request the full case backup and prior hearing record from planner Jonathan Tomko and ask specifically which overlay conditions are being struck and who negotiated them.

Context: C14-2026-0004 covers 735, 755, and 755 1/2 Springdale Road and 740 Mansell Avenue in the Boggy Creek Watershed and was set for public hearing May 21, 2026 with staff contact Jonathan Tomko at 512-974-1057.

Recommended: Nothing about the zoning district name changes here, so any effect on your block — allowed uses, event or operating hours, traffic on Springdale Road and Mansell Avenue — lives entirely in the revised overlay conditions. Ask the case planner for a side-by-side of current versus proposed conditions before the hearing, because once the ordinance passes those protections are gone without further notice.
