This is a neighborhood plan amendment for 1404 East Riverside Drive, just off Lady Bird Lake, that would change the property's future land use designation from a Specific Regulating District to Multifamily Residential. The shift matters because it clears the way for apartment-style housing on the site and updates the Greater South River City Combined Neighborhood Plan to match. City staff recommend approval, while the Planning Commission was set to weigh in on May 12, 2026.
