The west pickle track that UT owns isn't actually covered by NBG currently (just like east Pickle).

Hard to tell exactly what parcels they're referring to, but they could also be referring to the non UT commercial stuff west of Mopac (the "Gateway" part of north burnet gateway). Maybe bringing some of that into the higher CMU-Gateway district instead of its current CMU?
I'm assuming that #8 goes along with #7. The 30 foot setback was a brute force regulation to prevent "canyons".
