BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The zoning case includes two tracts, one at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB which has Commercial land use and is not part of the plan amendment application. The second tract is 1400 Lupine Lane which has Single Family land use and is proposed for Commercial land use which is consistent with the Commercial land use at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB. Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Commercial land use at 1400 Lupine Lane because the two tracts will be developed together for the proposed Transportation Terminal use. Although the proposed Commercial land use appears to be encroaching into a residential area, the property is essentially part of 1221 S IH-35 and is primarily a retaining wall that is not developable for …

Please see Updated Summary Letter – Exhibit D. On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report. This report evaluated the performance of existing density bonus programs and recommended changes to improve their overall performance. One of the major recommendations coming out of this study was to combine, streamline, and consolidate density bonus programs to the extent practicable. Bonus height entitlements that are more or less than 30 feet; Minimum affordability requirements that are calibrated and informed by the Therefore, on June 5, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 20250605-080 that initiated land development code amendments to create a variety of density bonus combining districts that consider: • • Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report; Additional community benefit requirements such as ground floor activation, • minimum commercial and civic space, onsite beneficial reuse, updated design standards, and others; • • Modified compatibility regulations; and Redevelopment requirements, including considering one-to-one unit replacement. On September 1, 2025, a slate of new state laws went into effect that were passed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 840 (SB 840). SB 840 aims to increase housing stock by allowing more market-rate housing to be built on most property zoned commercial, by right. This new legislation reduces incentives to participate in voluntary density bonus programs for many properties, unless an applicant seeks additional modifications of development standards such as additional height. This may result in fewer income-restricted affordable housing units being included in new developments. However, the City remains committed to growing affordable housing availability using a variety of tools, including …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0056 - W. 35th DISTRICT: 10 ZONING FROM: LO-NP ZONING TO: LR-CO-NP ADDRESS: 1721 West 35th Street PROPERTY OWNER: Zahnarzt Properties LLC AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) SITE AREA: 0.27 acres (11, 591 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (LR-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit service station. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The applicant is amenable to the staff recommendation LR-CO-NP with service station as a prohibited use. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 0.75 acres located at 1712 West 35th Street. West 35th Street is a Level 3 roadway per the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), an Imagine Austin Corridor and Core Transit Corridor. The site is currently developed with two structures, is zoned Limited Office-Neighborhood Plan (LO-NP) and is designated neighborhood commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The property is located within the Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Planning Area, specifically the Windsor Road Neighborhood Plan area. The surrounding land uses are mixed use which 10 C14-2026-0056 - W. 35th; District 101 of 11 C14-2026-0056 2 include single family residential, multifamily residential, retail and various commercial uses (SF-3-NP; MF-3; LR; LO-NP; LR-NP; LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP; CS-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting LR-NP, neighborhood commercial-neighborhood plan combined district zoning to allow for the reuse of the existing structures for a small local jewelry store. The requested zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation (FLUM) of Neighborhood Commercial, and a neighborhood plan amendment is not required. The staff is recommending LR-CO-NP as it aligns with the Future Land Use Map designation of Neighborhood Commercial and provides opportunities for neighborhood serving commercial uses along a Level 3 roadway and Imagine Austin Corridor. The request would allow for the reuse of the existing structures for neighborhood office and commercial uses and is consistent with the surrounding development and rezoning patterns along West 35th Street. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit Service Station, further limiting a use that may be less compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant is in agreement with the staff recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district …

The University agrees that the City is not responsible for resolving any disputes that may arise due to a lack of remaining FAR. In no instance can a building be taller than 65 feet when measured from LAB. • Max height for buildings constructed contiguous to LAB and north of LAB is 65 feet except that development can utilize Section 25- 2-531 (Height Limit Exception). • Max height for buildings constructed south of LAB but …

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Design Commission Recommendation 01: Revision to City Code Description of Recommendation to Council: Date of Approval: X/X/2026 The Design Commission recommends that Austin City Council rename and redesignate the Design Commission as the Urban Design Commission. ● Amend The Code of the City of Austin Title 2, Chapter 2.1 - City boards, Article Recommendation Number: 20261026-00X: Future Role for the City of Austin Design Commission and Commitment to Quality Urban Design in the City of Austin DRAFT 2-1-130 to revise all instances of “Design Commission” to “Urban Design Commission”; Amend bylaws to revise all instances of “Design Commission” to “Urban Design Commission” 2. Simplify and clarify purview by shifting from discretionary to mandatory The Design Commission recommends the following revisions to the bylaws governing the Commission; Recommendations include: 1.

Existing code and criteria manual language would be updated to reflect name change and remove any existing language related to the current Design Commission’s review of Downtown Density Bonus Program projects for compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines; We recommend that Council revise the Design Commission bylaws as follows: Article 1- NAME. The name of the board is Design Commission Urban Design Commission. 3. Clarify purpose and duties of the Commission, define mandatory referral items; Bylaws would state that the Urban Design Commission is the City’s advisory body of record on urban design outcomes citywide and define projects having specific issues of urban design as as mandatory referral items, generally including: major investments on city-owned land, major efforts impacting street design, land development code amendments in geographies with a multi-modal focus, and customized regulatory tools for special areas, as defined in the bylaws redline below.
