""It's four houses or it's nothing... thanks, Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance," Whitliff said, highlighting the constraints imposed by environmental regulations."
"Commissioner Stern proposed a lower unit cap under the conditional overlay as a compromise, which passed unanimously, showing responsiveness to community concerns."
In Austin, two individuals are applying for zoning changes to build a homestead on their 1.31-acre property at 12015 Buckner Road. They are requesting to rezone from developmental reserve to MF-1, allowing more flexibility under the Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance. Current regulations require two acres for single-family homes in sensitive watersheds, which the applicants lack. MF-1 would permit building on 20% of the land, enabling them to create a maximum of four units under a conditional overlay. The Zoning and Platting Commission supported the rezoning with cautious limits to address environmental concerns.
