PD Amendment C14-2025-0088

Context: The May 21, 2026 hearing notice for case C14-2025-0088 identifies the applicant as Mopac Atrium Investments, LLC through agent David Hartman of Dubois, Bryant and Campbell, LLP but states no conditions or modified Code provisions.

Recommended: Request the signed ordinance and its planned development area exhibit for 8701 North Mopac Expressway Service Road Northbound and confirm which specific Title 25 standards the planned development area modifies, since the published item recites only that Title 25 is amended "by rezoning" without identifying any modified setback, height, impervious cover, or use provision. If those modifications are not enumerated in the adopted text, raise it with staff now as a question about the ordinance's enforceability before permits are issued in reliance on it.

Context: The May 21, 2026 Council item describes only a rezoning from general commercial services to limited industrial services-planned development area with staff and Planning Commission both recommending approval, and names Sherri Sirwaitis, Austin Planning, 512-974-3057 as the contact, but the use list and conditions are not in the public item text.

Recommended: Request from Austin Planning staff the planned development area exhibit that lists exactly which limited industrial uses are permitted and which general commercial services uses are prohibited at 8701 North Mopac Expressway Service Road Northbound, plus the Shoal Creek Watershed impervious cover and water quality conditions attached to it. A planned development area combining district fixes those uses and standards in the ordinance itself, so anything omitted from the exhibit requires a fresh rezoning rather than a site plan revision.

Context: The only record entry is the May 21, 2026 Council hearing notice for case C14-2025-0088, which lists staff and Planning Commission recommendations to grant but no vote, and the matter status remains active with next step unknown.

Recommended: Ask the City Clerk and Austin Planning for the May 21, 2026 Council action and vote tally on the 8701 North Mopac rezoning — the item was posted for a public hearing and ordinance approval nearly three months ago, yet the matter is still carried as active with no recorded disposition. At the same time, request the staff report and the ownership filing for Mopac Atrium Investments, LLC to identify who benefits from converting a commercial site to industrial zoning inside the Shoal Creek Watershed.

Context: The May 21, 2026 Council item proposes rezoning from general commercial services to limited industrial services-planned development area in the Shoal Creek Watershed, with the city staff contact listed as Sherri Sirwaitis, 512-974-3057.

Recommended: Contact Sherri Sirwaitis at Austin Planning, 512-974-3057, and ask for the list of limited industrial uses the planned development area would permit at 8701 North Mopac Expressway Service Road Northbound and whether any truck loading, operating hour, or buffer restrictions are attached. The change moves the site from commercial to industrial zoning in the Shoal Creek Watershed, and once the ordinance is adopted those use limits can only be changed by another rezoning case.
