C14-2024-0099 - Saxon 2 - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 318 Saxon Lane and 6328 El Mirando Street (Country Club East and Colorado River Watersheds). Applicant Request: To rezone from townhouse and condominium residence-neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP) combining district zoning to multifamily residence low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning. Staff Recommendation: To deny multifamily residence low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning. Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant multifamily residence low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning. Owner/Applicant: Saxon Acres LLC (Matthew Shaw). Agent: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase). City Staff: Cynthia Hadri, Austin Planning, 512-974-7620.

This is a zoning case for two East Austin properties at 318 Saxon Lane and 6328 El Mirando Street, where the owner wants to switch from townhouse/condo zoning (SF-6-NP) to low-density multifamily (MF-2-NP) — a change that would allow more apartment-style housing on the land. There's a split in the recommendations here: city staff want council to deny the request, while the Planning Commission recommends granting it, so the council gets to break the tie after a public hearing.
