Zilker Point aka Schlotzsky PUD
(218 South Lamar Blvd)

This is a proposed project at 218 South Lamar Blvd (the northwest corner of South Lamar Blvd and Toomey Rd), currently the site of the Schlotzsky's restaurant and is located within the Waterfront Overlay. The applicant requested a change in zoning from CS/CS-V to PUD to allow an increase in height from 60 feet to 96 feet to accommodate a 7-story glass office building (see applicant's rendering above) on a 1.266-acre site. The ZNA Executive Committee vigourously opposed the application to amend the zoning because we believe it violates both the requirements and intent of the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance and the PUD Ordinance, but the PUD rezoning was passed by the City Council on a 7-4 vote. The zoning ordinance authorized an overall height of 115 feet 2 inches.

The developer has a website (https://zilkerpoint.com/) for this building and a brochure.
