Austin City Council to hear plans for four proposed mixed-use developments

The Austin City Council is scheduled to be briefed today on four planned projects whose developers are seeking a special type of zoning to allow greater flexibility in development regulations in exchange for providing public benefits.

Three of the projects — Estancia Hill Country, Easton and Sun Chase — are mixed-use developments that would add thousands of residences and millions of square feet of commercial space to the region. A fourth would be just south of downtown Austin, on land now home to the RunTex store where 230 apartments are planned.

Developers are proposing to incorporate various community benefits into the projects, from affordable housing, energy efficiencies and public transportation to parks, open space and recreational facilities.
