III. To be changed From : A Residence District To : C# Commercial District IV. Considered by the Board on: April 26, 1948, and May 4, 1948 V. Parties appearing: 363 363 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS For : W. W. Patterson Against: David Barrow for Miss Mamie Dell Barrow; John Ivey; Mrs. Emma Scheffel through her son; and O. E. Jordan and Cecil Wilson VI. Action of the Board : Change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. This application is for a change of zoning on two 25-foot lots adjoining a commercial zone at the southwest corner and two adjoining the commercial zone at the northwest corner of the intersection of Duval and East 51st Streets, the applicants affirming that the extension of the commercial area is requested to permit a more desirable development than would be permitted on the present 50-foot property in this zone and to permit offstreet parking. 2. The applicants further affirmed that they have no immediate plans for developing this commercial property but are considering a grocery store on one corner and a possible drug store, variety store, and cleaning and pressing shop on the other corner, and have had several offers for this type of use. 3. Several owners of property in this area appeared protesting this change on the grounds that there is no need for additional commercial property in this neighborhood and that any further exten- sion would have an adverse effect on their property for home development, and that there are grocery stores near this location to serve the needs of residents. 4. There is now a Community Center designated at the intersection of Duval Street and Bruning Avenue with East 51st Street consisting of four corners and a triangular tract extending to Evans Avenue, all being the equivalent of eight 50-foot lots and none of which has been developed for commercial uses since it was changed to #C# Commercial in 1938, and there are already several grocery stores and other community center uses within a few blocks of this intersection. 5. An extension of the commercial property at the southeast corner of this intersection was recently considered by the Board and not recommended for the same reasons, and the Board deemed, under the conditions and circumstances, that this property should not be changed to #C# Commercial as an extension of a Community Center that has not yet been developed and, therefore, is still available for commercial development, and the fact that no commercial development has taken place within the past ten years indicates that there is no great public demand or necessity for a large Community Center at this location; and further deemed that the existing community stores in this area are sufficient for the present needs of this section of the City. (Sgā) H. F. Kuehne, Chairman. # CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 364 364 Councilman Johnson moved that a public hearing on the foregoing change in zoning be called for Thursday, May 27, 1948, at 11:00 A. M.
