Developer's are seeking approval for a large mixed use PUD where Hooters and all that surface parking is currently located.
The tallest building(s) would be 195'. That's decent height for south of the river.

One member of the Environmental Commission - Mary Ann Neely - that will decide if the PUD is approved seems rather anti-development:
“I’m tired of these PUDs that want a whole lot of space, but do very little to give our city something special,” Neely said. “These aren’t special. I’m tired of PUDs coming up that don’t make Austin a better place.”
She apparently doesn't like dense or urban development downtown. Just about anything would be better than that huge parking lot and a Hooters.
