This is a zoning request to transform the property at 1404 East Riverside Drive, near Lady Bird Lake, from its current East Riverside Corridor mixed-use designation into a planned unit development (PUD-NP). PUDs are big-deal rezonings that can come with their own customized rules — the ordinance here may include waivers of City regulations, fee exemptions, and alternative funding methods. City staff recommend approving it, while the Planning Commission was set to weigh in on May 12, 2026, ahead of this Council vote.
