Item 60 — Thursday, April 23, 2026

In plain language — from agenda source text

This is a rezoning request for 1811 East Cesar Chavez Street, where the owners want to switch the property's zoning to allow commercial liquor sales (CS-1) in this East Side spot along the Lady Bird Lake Watershed. There's a real split here: city staff recommend denying the change, while the Planning Commission recommends granting it — and neighbors have filed a valid petition in opposition, which raises the bar for Council approval. The hearing gives the community a chance to weigh in before Council decides.

How it affects me: If you go by 1811 East Cesar Chavez Street, this item covers rezoning there.
