Zoning CasecorridorCity Council
La Familia Partnership LTD seeks to rezone three properties at 3701 and 3703 Speedway and 104 East 37th Street in the Waller Creek Watershed from limited office zoning to neighborhood commercial zoning, which would allow a broader range of small-scale retail and service businesses on the site. The property would keep its existing neighborhood conservation, transit-oriented development, density bonus, and neighborhood plan designations. The request is represented by agent Dubois Bryant & Campbell, LLP and is being reviewed by City Council.

Attorney

Obtain final ordinance and minutes from Speedway rezoning hearing

Why now: The August 27, 2026 agenda item for C14-2026-0020 shows staff and Planning Commission recommendations to grant LR-NCCD-ETOD-DBETOD-NP, but the matter status remains active with next step unknown.

What to do: The public hearing item was posted for August 27, 2026 with both staff and the Planning Commission recommending approval, yet the matter is still carried as active with no recorded outcome. Request the adopted ordinance, the council minutes for that date, and any postponement notice from the City Clerk, and ask staff whether a separate neighborhood conservation district amendment is required alongside the base district change — without those documents you cannot confirm what, if anything, was actually enacted.

Developer

Verify neighborhood conservation limits before planning Speedway retail conversion

Why now: Case C14-2026-0020 seeks LO-NCCD-ETOD-DBETOD-NP to LR-NCCD-ETOD-DBETOD-NP for 3701 and 3703 Speedway and 104 East 37th Street, with city staff contact Cynthia Hadri, Austin Planning, 512-974-7620.

What to do: The requested change from limited office to neighborhood commercial would open retail, restaurant and service uses on this Speedway/East 37th Street site, but the property also carries neighborhood conservation, equitable transit-oriented development and density bonus overlays that can cut back uses, height and floor area independently of the base district. Pull the governing neighborhood conservation combining district text and the density bonus equitable transit-oriented development participation requirements from staff before underwriting a commercial program, or you may buy entitlements the overlays do not actually deliver.

Ask why Speedway rezoning has no recorded council outcome

Why now: The August 27, 2026 item for C14-2026-0020 carried matching staff and Planning Commission recommendations to grant LR-NCCD-ETOD-DBETOD-NP, but the matter is still listed as active with next step unknown.

What to do: Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommended granting the neighborhood commercial zoning, which normally signals a consent-agenda approval, yet the file still shows no result weeks after the scheduled hearing. Ask the City Clerk and planner Cynthia Hadri whether the item was postponed, withdrawn, or blocked by a neighborhood petition, and get the speaker registration and any valid petition filing for that date.

Learn what shops could replace offices near East 37th

Why now: C14-2026-0020 requests rezoning of 3701 and 3703 Speedway and 104 East 37th Street from limited office to neighborhood commercial in the Waller Creek Watershed, with city staff contact Cynthia Hadri, 512-974-7620.

What to do: This block of Speedway at East 37th Street is proposed to shift from limited office zoning to neighborhood commercial, which allows customer-facing uses such as small retail, restaurants and personal services with evening traffic and on-street parking demand that office use does not generate. Call planner Cynthia Hadri at 512-974-7620 to ask which uses and hours the neighborhood conservation overlay still restricts on this tract before assuming the conservation district protects the block.
