This is a proposed change to the neighborhood plan's future land use map for a few properties near East Annie and Brackenridge Streets in the East Bouldin Creek Watershed, shifting them from Civic to Multifamily Residential. The land is owned by South Austin Christian Church, and the change would clear the way for housing on the site. City staff recommend approving the multifamily designation, with the Planning Commission slated to weigh in on May 12, 2026.
