Get draft rezoning ordinance conditions before September 24 hearing
Why now: The identical item text appeared on both the September 10 and September 24 City Council agendas with staff and Planning Commission recommending the neighborhood commercial-mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan district, but neither posting lists the overlay conditions themselves; case staff is Sherri Sirwaitis, 512-974-3057.
What to do: Request the draft ordinance and the Planning Commission recommendation sheet for the East Wonsley Drive case from the assigned case manager and compare the conditional overlay conditions attached for the September 10 setting against those posted for September 24. If conditions were revised between the two settings, ask in writing whether the change requires renotification or a new commission recommendation before Council adopts the ordinance.
Act before: After the requested ordinance draft is produced
Check watershed and overlay limits on East Wonsley site
Why now: The September 24 item proposes rezoning 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive from multifamily residence low density-neighborhood plan to neighborhood commercial-mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan, in the Little Walnut Creek and Buttermilk Branch watersheds, with staff contact Sherri Sirwaitis.
What to do: Before underwriting a neighborhood-commercial or mixed-use building at 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive, pull the staff report from case planner Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057) to see exactly which uses and intensity the conditional overlay strips out of the neighborhood commercial-mixed use district, and confirm the impervious cover caps that apply because the tract sits in two watersheds. The agenda language grants the zoning but never lists the overlay conditions, so a pro forma built on base district entitlements can be wrong.
Act before: After Council acts on the rezoning ordinance
Ask why grocery rezoning slipped two Council meetings
Why now: The same rezoning item for 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive was posted to City Council twice, on September 10 and September 24, 2026, with unchanged staff and Planning Commission recommendations to grant and no stated reason for the reset.
What to do: Ask the city clerk and case planner Sherri Sirwaitis for the postponement record showing who requested the delay from September 10 to September 24 and why an item with both staff and Planning Commission approval recommendations did not get voted. Check whether a valid petition by nearby property owners was filed, which would raise the vote threshold and explain the slip.
Act before: After the requested postponement records are produced
Ask about store hours and deliveries on East Wonsley
Why now: The proposal rezones 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive from multifamily residence low density-neighborhood plan to neighborhood commercial-mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan for the Wonsley Grocery & Kitchen, set for a Council public hearing on September 24, 2026.
What to do: Call case planner Sherri Sirwaitis at 512-974-3057 and ask for the written conditional overlay conditions for 301 and 309 East Wonsley Drive — specifically whether they limit operating hours, delivery and trash pickup times, drive-through service, or daily vehicle trips. Once Council adopts the ordinance those conditions are fixed, and the two properties shift from apartment-only zoning to zoning that permits a commercial grocery and kitchen next to existing homes.
