Attorney

Pull the recorded covenant before the church's covenant termination

Why now: Council was asked to approve termination of the public restrictive covenant from zoning case C14-80-135 on 4613 and 4615 Springdale Road, with staff and Planning Commission both recommending grant.

What to do: Obtain the recorded public restrictive covenant tied to the 1980 zoning case and read exactly what it restricts, who holds enforcement rights, and whether termination language requires anyone besides the City to consent. Without this, you cannot tell what the termination actually frees on the two parcels.

Act before: After the next material record update

Journalist

Ask why the church is ending its covenant for multifamily

Why now: The item names David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Austin as owner/applicant and DuBois, Bryant & Campbell (David Hartman) as agent, and titles the site 'Springdale Road and East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Multifamily'.

What to do: Find out what the covenant restricted and what the church or its agent plans next. The item is titled as a multifamily site, but the record does not state a buyer, a project, or whether the church is selling.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
