Obtain petition records for liquor store rezoning
Applies if: Reader represents an affected owner, the applicant, or an opponent
Why now: E1 and E2 state a valid petition was filed in opposition, yet first reading on May 21, 2026 passed 9-0 with Harper-Madison and Fuentes absent.
What to do: Request the valid opposition petition and the city's verification of it, then ask Planning whether the petition changes the vote needed for final adoption. Without this, you cannot tell whether the repeated 9-0 first reading still carries the ordinance.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why liquor store rezoning keeps missing final approval
Why now: The item appeared on 2026-07-23 and 2026-08-27 after a 9-0 first reading on May 21, 2026, and a valid petition against it is noted in E1 and E2.
What to do: Ask Austin Planning (Jonathan Tomko) why second and third readings were on the agenda July 23 and again August 27 without a recorded final outcome. Determine whether the opposition petition, absences, or applicant requests caused the delay.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Check liquor sales zoning change near 4503 East MLK
Applies if: Reader lives or owns property near 4503 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Why now: E1 states the request moves a portion of 4503 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard from GR-NP to CS-1-NP and that a valid opposition petition exists.
What to do: Find out whether your property is within the petition area, and tell Planning if you want your opposition counted. The change from community commercial to commercial-liquor sales zoning would allow liquor sales at the site if finalized.
Act before: After the next material record update
