District: 3

District: 4

6121 N IH-35 plans to redevelop an existing 7.91-acre hotel site near the intersection of two major highways, IH-35 and US-290, into a mixed-use development. It would retain the existing 175,000 SF, 5-story Radisson hotel built in 1977, but redevelop the surrounding 160,000 square feet of surface parking into up to 1,000 new multifamily units and 40,000 square feet of commercial space.

The zoning case includes a request to apply a Planned Development Area (PDA) combining district to allow increased height up to 200 ft, increased floor-to-area ratio up to 4:1, increased impervious cover up to 85%, and reduced parking minimums up to 50%. Substantial new density on an underutilized site near downtown Austin and major transportation infrastructure.

The property had 6 different zoning districts, making it difficult to plan as a unified project.

Its newly approved CS-MU-V-NP will allow Narrow Road Group/Anthony Clarke to benefit from a density bonus under the Vertical Mixed Use ordinance—more affordable housing units and street-level retail to be included.

A ‘mixed-use development including multi-family residential and retail’ is all the owner CIM Group wanted to disclose on their new CS-MU-V-NP zoning at 518 N Pleasant Valley Road.

Up to 700 units (686 planned) were approved on first reading at a site along the planned route for the Bergstrom Spur, an urban trail that will connect South Austin to Lady Bird Lake.

The rezoning plan calls for integrating the site with the Bergstrom Spur by dedicating land along the northern boundary of the property for the expansion of park space. LI-PDA-NP.

600 Industrial is surrounded by 4 rezonings in the last 5 years (Leifer’s project above being one of them).

They were rezoned to:

Santa Monica-based Redcar received first reading approval for 425 units by the planned urban trail called the Bergstrom Spur that will provide recreational opportunities for residents and connect to the broader trail system.

It’s an adaptive reuse plan for the existing warehouse that could potentially integrate access to this trail.
