The approximately 14,000-square-foot lot is currently zoned B3-2, Community Shopping District. The new zoning would position the site as B2-3, Neighborhood Mixed-Use District. This zoning change allows for residential uses on the site and on the ground floor.

The densification along this stretch of Ashland is impressive. It’s nice to see under-utilized lots being rebuilt.
This appears to be replacing the restaurant Zia’s Lago Vista, which seems to be pretty busy/successful. Does anyone know of the restaurant’s plans to relocate?
