Significant building deficiencies and complaints have been reported to the

HIGH ROAD 700 DAWSON - Conditional Use Site Plan 2024-132443 SP
The applicant has requested a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a Lodge or Club use of 6,856 SF to occupy portions of the existing building and the entirety of the swimming pool and decking. The Zoning Committee has reviewed the site plan and found that aside from adding ADA access and a water line, there are no other pending proposals to modify the building or site. Since the use of this property since the 1950’s has been primarily lodge or club use, the neighborhood does not oppose this Conditional Use Permit and informed the City’s Planning Commission of our decision. On December 9, 2025, this conditional use was approved on the consent agenda at the City of Austin Planning Commission.
108 W Gibson St - Rezoning 2025-138015 ZC
The applicant has filed a rezoning case to change the existing zoning for this property. On October 27, the applicant’s representative met with the BCNA zoning committee to discuss the specifics of the zoning case exclusively. The new proposed use was for office space with food and drink service. After an initial review by the Zoning Committee, it was determined in that meeting that the request to remove some of the uses mentioned in the zoning case was justified.
There is a related Private Restrictive Covenant from 2006 on this property, separate from the zoning case and will not be going before the city. Following that October meeting, several members of the zoning committee have been in touch with the ’04 condo owners regarding the proposed termination of the RC as well as the zoning case. The zoning committee is currently working with the affected neighborhood residents and the leadership of the ’04 HOA to consider possible actions. At this moment, no public hearing is scheduled at the City of Austin for the zoning case.
