Riverside PUD gains second-round approval - Austin Monitor
Briefly

The City Council moved forward with the second reading for a rezoning project at 200 E. Riverside Drive, granting the Garwald Company Inc. permission for a multiuse development including two high-rise buildings. Despite efforts from a neighboring property owner to postpone the vote, attorney Richard Suttle argued that any delays could jeopardize the entire initiative, especially the affordable housing fee-in-lieu. The project boasts substantial office space and retail opportunities while raising concerns over site access due to property easements. The council's approval reflects a significant step toward urban development in the area.
The attempt to postpone the rezoning vote at 200 E. Riverside Drive was overcome by attorney Richard Suttle, who argued for moving forward with the project.
Suttle expressed frustration with the slow progress of the case, warning that a delay could jeopardize the entire rezoning project and the affordable housing contributions.
