It has to go to the city council, but as long as the Planning Commission vote was strongly in favor, it'll pass.

Around 75ft vs 118ft.

The new building is 420,000 square feet and will support around 2,400 workers.

1301 Parker Lane (shopping center on Riverside)

Site plan for another 7 story, right next to one the one that just started development where the American Bingo was.

In addition, a 4-5 story 320+ unit building by Aspen Heights has started construction at 1700 Willow Creek Drive, which is nearly facing Riverside Drive.

About the time my parents bought their new home on Elmhurst Drive less than 1/4 mile west of that Parker Lane address In 1959, their builder (Van Spinks) was attempting to purchase a parcel of unimproved scrubby pasture land at that intersection with Riverside. He backed away from negotiations because the owner wouldn’t come down from his $700/acre asking price.

Here's a 10-story condo proposal that maxes out the 120' height limit.

The developers received zoning changes in 2019 from Austin City Council for a 97-acre project, then called 4700 Riverside, in a controversial 6-3 vote. The new project adds the 12-acre Parke Green retail center into the plans, which the developer also owns. Today, the Parke Green retail center includes businesses such as LA Fitness, dd's Discounts and Twin Liquors.

Austin (Travis County) — An Austin businessman received a zoning adjustment in order to develop a multifamily project on East Riverside waterfront.

At Tuesday’s session of the Planning Commission, the Corridor Mixed Use zoning for a 2.6-acre site was adjusted to provide eligibility for the density bonus program.

The Acton School of Business currently occupies the site, and the proposed development has the working title Acton Site. Its address is 1404 E. Riverside Drive.

The existing zoning of the property only allowed for a height up to 60 feet and 2:1 floor area ratio. The change would permit a height of 120 feet under some circumstances, but this lot is adjacent to the Colorado River and subject to the waterfront overly, which caps building heights at 96 feet.

Jeff Sandefer, who founded the school, sought eligibility in the density program to develop the project with up to 250 units, including units at 60% of the median family income.

Sandefer does not intend to go beyond the 96-foot limit. However, the 120-foot option was the most viable height choice that the regulating plan currently offers.

We should be building point towers here, not forcing developers to get upzoning for a measly 96 feet.

ANy renderings for this project?

Towers did an article on that. They also have this map showing the approved heights along Riverside. I didn't realize they had approved 160 feet all the way to 71. That's great.

Homes Could Rise a Glorious 120 Feet at This East Riverside Business School

JAMES RAMBIN APRIL 30, 2021

A significant 2.6-acre parcel on East Riverside Drive near I-35 overlooking Lady Bird Lake and only a stone’s throw from downtown Austin could soon rise to new heights as a 250-unit mixed-income multifamily residential project, thanks to a zoning change allowing a 120-foot building under the area’s seldom-used density bonus program — which offers additional height for developments in exchange for enhanced community benefits under the terms of the East Riverside Corridor (ERC) regulating plan.
