Item 87 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This is a rezoning case for three properties along Nuckols Crossing Road in Southeast Austin, in the Williamson Creek Watershed. The owner, KB Nuckols, LLC, wants to shift the land from standard single-family lots to MF-3, a medium-density multifamily category that opens the door to apartment-style housing on the site. City staff and the Planning Commission both recommend granting the change with a conditional overlay attached, a tool that lets the city layer on site-specific limits.
