PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 14, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 30, 3024 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 1408 C14-2024-0026 - Payton Gin Apartments; District 4 C14-2024-0026 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question currently contains a religious assembly use (Austin Brethren Church), with surface parking and an undeveloped area along Galewood Drive that is zoned LR-CO-NP. The lots to the north and east are developed with multifamily uses that are zoned GR-NP and MF-2-NP respectively. To the west, there is a retail center (Payton Point) zoned GR-CO-NP. The tract of land to the south, across Galewood Drive, is developed with an automotive repair use (Excalibur Automotive Repair) and retail sales use (Advance Auto Parts) zoned GR-NP and CS-CO-NP. In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone this lot to GR-NP to develop the property with a 194 multi-family project under the Affordability Unlocked Program (please see Applicant’s Request Letter-Exhibit C). The staff recommends GR-NP zoning at this location as the lot meets the intent of the Community Commercial District as it is located within a residential neighborhood on a level 3/arterial roadway. The GR district is intended to provide services for neighborhood and community needs. The proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with surrounding land use patterns. This lot is located within the North Austin Civic Association (NACA) Neighborhood Plan. The North Austin Civic Association Neighborhood Plan was completed under the City of Austin's Neighborhood Planning Program and was adopted as part of the Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan on June 29, 2000. The boundaries of the planning area are Kramer Lane to the north, Lamar Boulevard to the east, Highway 183 to the south and Metric Boulevard to the west. The future land use map in the NACA plan calls for this tract to be Commercial Land Use. The proposed zoning is consistent with this designation. Therefore, a plan amendment is not required. The applicant agrees with the staff recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district …
