Attorney

Pull the ordinance and zoning map for reservoir rezoning

Applies if: Client owns or borders property near 1107 1/2 North Capital of Texas Highway

Why now: The only record is the 2026-08-27 City Council public hearing on C14-2026-0033, and the status shows the next step is unknown, so the outcome and any conditions are unverified.

What to do: Obtain the adopted ordinance text and any conditions, and check whether the August 27 item was approved, postponed, or amended. Frame it as a question for the City Clerk: did Council adopt public zoning for the whole tract, including the portion previously zoned single family?

Act before: After the next material record update

Journalist

Ask why Austin Water reservoir rezoning splits two zoning designations

Applies if: Reporter covering city-owned utility projects or Bee Creek Watershed land use

Why now: The record shows applicant Austin Water (Eric Sermeno) requesting public district zoning for 1107 1/2 North Capital of Texas Highway Northbound, with staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission both recommending approval, and a city-owned applicant is rezoning its own land.

What to do: Ask Austin Planning why one site is being zoned from interim-rural residence and rezoned from single family residence standard lot in the same request. Find out what the tank is replacing or adding, so readers learn if the public designation changes anything on the ground.
