Staff Recommendation: To deny commercial-liquor sales-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (CS-1-CO-NP) combining district zoning. Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant commercial-liquor sales-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (CS-1-CO-NP) combining district zoning. Owner/Applicant: Lodhia Investments LLC and G N Exim Corporation Inc. Agent: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers). City Staff: Jonathan Tomko, AICP, Austin Planning, 512-974-1057. A valid petition has been filed in opposition to this rezoning request.

This is a rezoning request for a property at 1811 East Cesar Chavez Street, where the owners want to shift the zoning to allow liquor sales (the CS-1 designation) on the East Side parcel in the Lady Bird Lake Watershed. There's a notable split here: city staff recommend denying the change, while the Planning Commission recommends granting it — and a valid petition has been filed in opposition, which raises the bar for approval. The outcome matters for neighbors who'll live next to whatever this becomes and for the business owners betting on the new use.
