Item 86 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This is a neighborhood plan amendment for three adjoining properties on Nuckols Crossing Road in Southeast Austin, switching their future land use designation from Single Family to Multifamily Residential. The future land use map guides what zoning the city supports on a site, so the change is the first step toward allowing apartment-style development where the plan currently calls for houses. City staff and the Planning Commission both recommend granting the Multifamily Residential designation. The land sits in the Williamson Creek watershed, and the applicant is KB Nuckols, LLC.
