Circuit of the Americas — the home of Austin's Formula 1 track out at 9201 Circuit of the Americas Boulevard — wants to tweak the rules governing its planned unit development for the third time. The amendment would change conditions of the existing PUD zoning and could include fee waivers, alternative funding methods, modifications of City regulations, and property acquisition. Both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend approving the change, which heads to a public hearing before council votes.
