This item is a public hearing and vote on rezoning a couple of parcels near 49th and Rosedale, in the Shoal Creek Watershed, from single-family (SF-3) to the city's highest-density multifamily category with conditions (MF-6-CO). The land is owned by Austin ISD, and both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend approving the change, which would open the door to denser housing on the site. If you live or own property nearby, the shift from single-family to high-density apartments is the kind of change worth weighing in on.
