Austin Land Use Overhaul: Oak Hill Focus

Council considered numerous individual land-use change requests within the broader Oak Hill study, proposing shifts to various zoning categories. Many of these received an initial "first reading only" approval.Key Decisions Postponed:
Several complex zoning cases, including some involving multi-family and commercial properties, were deferred to future meetings in May for further review and deliberation.
