Verify multifamily rezoning scope for church-owned Springdale Road parcels
Applies if: You are evaluating acquisition of, or partnership with the church on, these parcels
Why now: Council item C14-2026-0052 covers 4601, 4613, and 4615 Springdale Road and 5016 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, moving from SF-6-NP to MF-4-NP, with staff and Planning Commission both recommending MF-4-NP.
What to do: Confirm which of the four parcels are covered by the multifamily moderate-high density rezoning and whether neighborhood plan combining district conditions limit what can be built. Underwriting on the wrong zoning assumption could misstate unit capacity if the final ordinance differs from the request.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask who will develop church-owned Springdale Road apartment rezoning
Why now: The owner is David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Austin, Texas, an unincorporated association, represented by agent David Hartman of DuBois, Bryant & Campbell, LLP, and staff contact Jonathan Tomko is listed for case C14-2026-0052.
What to do: Ask the applicant's agent and city planner what is planned for the parcels, and whether the church intends to sell or partner with a developer. The record shows an unincorporated church association as owner but says nothing about the end user or any housing commitments.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
