Verify 90-foot density bonus terms for Springdale Road mixed-use rezoning
Applies if: You are evaluating this site or a comparable parcel for purchase, partnership, or design work.
Why now: Staff and the Planning Commission both recommended community commercial-vertical mixed use building-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (GR-V-DB90-NP) zoning for 1076 Springdale Road, which keeps the neighborhood plan overlay in place (C14-2026-0041).
What to do: Confirm what the density bonus 90 designation actually permits on this parcel, including bonus requirements, and check the neighborhood plan combining district for added limits before pricing the site or a project. The rezoning only helps if bonus obligations and plan limits still leave a workable building.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask who stands behind the Springdale Road opportunity zone developer
Applies if: You are covering development along Springdale Road or opportunity zone projects.
Why now: The owner and applicant is listed as Artesia Springdale QOZ, LLC, represented by Drenner Group, P.C. (Drew Raffaele), and the item was heard by City Council on 2026-09-24 with no outcome recorded in the supplied record.
What to do: Request ownership and investor information for Artesia Springdale QOZ, LLC and ask the applicant whether the opportunity zone tax status is driving the density request. The public record names only the LLC, so the people and financial incentives behind the project are not visible.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Confirm outcome of Springdale Road rezoning and ask about building height
Applies if: You live or own property near 1076 Springdale Road.
Why now: The request changes 1076 Springdale Road from community commercial (GR-NP) to a vertical mixed use building with density bonus 90 (GR-V-DB90-NP), and the record lists Tomko at 512-974-1057 as staff contact with no recorded outcome.
What to do: Call city planner Jonathan Tomko to learn whether Council approved the ordinance and what the 90 density bonus could mean for building height next to your property. The outcome and next step are not clear from the record, and a mixed-use building would replace what the current commercial zoning allows.
Act before: After the next material record update
