Updated Feb. 1: We have asked the developer to support a postponement of the Feb. 7 hearing, to give the association time to call a special membership meeting. The Development Committee will still be meeting Feb. 2, to discuss this development.
Updated Jan. 31: Location added. Time changed half hour later.
The City of Austin has scheduled a public hearing on Tuesday, February 7 for a zoning change request at 8100 Burnet Road (the Ross Store and former Chuck E Cheese location). The developers are planning a large apartment complex (270 – 300 units) with some retail facilities, and have applied for rezoning of the property to MF-6, highest density multifamily residence.

Members of the NSCNA Development Committee have been meeting with representatives of the developer to express concerns about the high density of the proposed development and increased neighborhood traffic, in efforts to work out potential problems. They are also coordinating with the adjacent Wooten Neighborhood Association regarding the development. This matter should be a concern for our neighborhood, since whatever is developed on that property will be with us for a long time.
The NSCNA Development Committee will meet Thursday, February 2, 2012, to discuss the current status of this project.
All NSCNA members who desire to provide comments and recommendations concerning possible NSCNA action concerning the rezoning and planned development are invited to attend. Neighbors who are not members are encouraged to join the Association and participate.
