Major Downtown Project Denied, New Green Rules
Downtown Project Denied Amid Preservation Concerns:
The Council rejected financing for a commercial project on East Sixth Street, siding with historic preservation advocates who opposed a proposed office tower in a culturally significant area.Major Development Approvals with Environmental & Design Strings Attached:
Significant rezoning requests, including large projects near Hwy 183/RM 620 and Mt. Bonnell Road, were approved only after developers agreed to strict conditions like protecting natural features, implementing water quality measures, and adhering to specific architectural and energy efficiency standards.Key Land Use & Environmental Policies Advanced:
A development moratorium on Loop 360 was extended, and new definitions and requirements were established for development within the "Hill Country Roadway Corridor," signaling a commitment to managing growth in sensitive areas.City Services & Labor Relations in Focus:
Funds were approved for "First Responder Fire and EMS Service" in newly annexed areas, while city employee union representatives challenged new overtime pay policies, prompting a request for a fiscal impact review.

GRANTED "LO" - FIRST READING ONLY 1518 Koenig Lane From "SF-3" To "LR" RECOMMENDED subject to joint use driveway with access onto Arroyo Seca. In addition, the applicant will submit a restrictive covenant restricting against food sales, restaurant convenience and service stations and is subject to dedication of up to 40 feet of right-of-way from centerline of Koenig. GRANTED "LO" - FIRST READING ONLY Martin Boozer, representing the applicant, said they asked for "LR" because the owners are getting older, they do not have buyers as yet, but want "LR" for marketing flexibility when they do decide to sell their property. Council Memo 12 12/12/85 Oleta Heine, 1518 Koenig Lane, said she had been told her property was "C" commercial when she bought it and had paid higher taxes on it because of this for years; then found out it was residence. She had a petition with 74 signatures of residents in her neighborhood who favor "LR". Frances Smith, who lives around the corner favors "LR" with restrictions. Bruce Thompson also has no problem with "LR". Don Leightenboro is against "LO" because of traffic. Mrs. Schumaker thinks "LR" is all right, as does Linda Hayes. A woman who did not identify herself from the Central Northwest Neighborhood Association, opposes any zoning change. Al McMurty, zoning chairman, Allendale Neighborhood Association, asked for "LO". Beverly Kimbro is uncomfortable deviating from Koenig Lane guidelines. Pam Durwell is against a change. (On Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's second, 7-0 Vote.)

Motion passed by a 7-0 Vote. Councilmember Shipman explained to the neighborhood why this was being done. "On a 4-3 vote it would require three separate readings and by my remaking the motion then the zoning will not have to go through a lengthy process and it's the same number of units that would be allowed if this were single family, if the "SF-2" zoning were in place, but it allows for a cluster. In fact, there will be no more units there than would be if it were "SF-2", you'll have more tree preservation." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's second, approved "SF-2" PUD at four units per acre with deed restrictions that say the area that is not built upon, will not be built upon; that the minimum size unit will be 900 feet; that 50% of the units will be masonry with the other of natural surfaces of either wood or stucco; the roofs will be made of tile; the driveway will be at least 15% pervious pavers; and a high energy program of at least 250 points as stated by Resource Management.
