Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance zoning 4.72 acres located northwest of N. CR 122 and east of Red Bud Lane to the TH (Townhouse) zoning district. (First Reading)*
Body
The project owner, Sree Sai Ganesh, proposes an original zoning of the 4.72-acre subject tract to the TH (Townhouse) district.

Increasing housing choice in Round Rock is a key component of Round Rock 2030's housing goals.
