MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207. Cc: Andy Linseisen, Assistant Director, DSD H-3/1
URP & NCCD Use Regulations February 8, 2021 Content 12th St NCCD 11th St NCCD Urban Renewal Plan 12th St NCCD 12th St. Current Use Regulations Relies on the base zoning to define permitted uses. Uses are further restricted in the NCCD through a list of prohibited and conditional uses which are primarily commercial. A list of these can be found in Ordinance No. 20080228-078 & Ordinance No. 20081120-101 4 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations The proposed NCCD defines uses that are permitted, permitted with conditions and conditional through a land use table. For a use to be allowed on a property, it must be in the use table in the NCCD and allowed per the base zoning. 5 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations This limits properties SF-3 zoned properties more than they are limited under current regulations. SF-3 properties indicated in yellow 6 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations Because the residential uses allowed in SF-3 are not allowed in the proposed NCCD use table, these properties would be limited to civic uses or those outlined in the “save and except” section. A language change is needed to allow more residential uses on SF-3 properties 7 12th St. Recommended Change For properties zoned SF-3, allow uses in the base zoning. The use table in the NCCD does not apply. 8 11th St NCCD 11th St. Current Use Regulations Permitted and Conditional Uses are outlined by Subdistrict rather than the base zoning Unlike 12th St properties, most of the commercial base zoning on 11th does not have Mixed Use (-MU) overlay Therefore, most of the commercial base zoning on 11th St does not allow residential 10 11 11th St. Proposed Regulations Similar to the current NCCD, the proposed NCCD defines allowed uses by Subdistrict. However, in Subdistrict 1 & 2, for a use to be allowed on a property, it must be in the use table in the NCCD and allowed per the base zoning. This is more restrictive than current regulations. 12 11th St. Recommended Change The clause below from the proposed 12th St NCCD was added to the Urban Renewal Plan and the 11th St NCCD to align the documents. If the intention is to carry forward current use allowances with some refinement, then the clause below should be removed. 13 Urban Renewal …

C-1/1 LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Tanner Blair Ramirez, Elaine Appeal for 314 and 316 W. 34th Street #C15-2021-0009 Tuesday, February 02, 2021 1:52:25 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Elaine, As the chair of Central Austin Urbanists, I am writing to inform you that our organization would encourage Board of Adjustment to interpret the NUNA NCCD in the narrowest way possible. Climate change is real. This housing would be in walking distance to transit, the university, and more amenities than we can list here. This is one of the few locations in the city that can truly support a car-free lifestyle and insisting that new housing continue to reinforce and promote automotive- centric living is a threat to the long-term health of our community. Additionally, we take exception to the tone and content of Mr. Levinski’s application, especially the continued use of the term “stealth dorms”. At a time when housing costs are at an all-time high, it is very telling the character and substance of their argument that so much emphasis is placed on making sure that families and groups people that don’t meet their platonic ideal are denigrated and relegated to the status of nuisance. This segregationist attitude is anathema to the spirit of radical inclusion that we believe is the actual foundation of a community, and we ask that the city reject the argument that there is a right way and a wrong way for families to look. Given the dubious merits of requiring parking, the very real climate crisis, and the very real housing crisis, we ask that the Board of Adjustment stand by staff’s judgement and not require more parking spaces than absolutely necessary.

My home, which I purchased in the fall of 2007, is across the street from 3805 Eton Lane, owned by Gary and Nancy Langdon. As a resident of the neighborhood, I do not oppose the shed that the Langdons are building. They are conscientious, respectful property owners, their home has lovely street appeal, and the structure will complement their main home. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Besides the fact that the goal here is not to block the building , because i know it will occur, but to look at it in a different capacity. First, my concern is that next door ( South ) they are building a very large two story home, once a one story bungalow. Then on the North side of my property, they are adding a 2 story structure obviously in the back yard. So what i will experience is something that i would like to ask to re-consider giving the variance to basically constrict a breeze in my back yard because of two new large structures. Not to mention no sun light for grass, landscaping, gardening, etc. How about just sun bathing to capture Vitamin D , especially during COVID. I also am interested in knowing if the home requesting the variance, ever pull permits for some of the past remodels, enclosing a garage, adding a large carport, adding sq footage, and now adding this structure. Also on the property is a portable building next door to me. (unsightly). I am sure the city is looking at the impervious coverage , because it sure does seem tight on this property. There is also a creek on the North side of the property. That would be a better location for this structure, because it's not really bothering anyone on that side, because of a small creek. The accesses is also better to put a walk way to the back to accesses , rather than walking all the way around the property to accesses during rain? i really think the architect and the home owner could improve …
Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association President: Alex Finnell – – 512.773.3379 February 3rd, 2021 To: City of Austin Board of Adjustment RE: C15-2020-0067 Address: 1112 Harvard Street Owner: Michael & Jeanette Abbink From: Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association Subject: Letter of Support for Variance from LDC to reduce required on-site parking spaces to zero. Please note that on January 28th, 2021, the Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association voted unanimously in favor of supporting Michael & Jeanette’s variance request from the Land Development Code to reduce the number of required on-site parking spaces to zero. Michael & Jeanette Abbink and their architect Ernesto Cragnolino of Alterstudio presented their intent to use the property at 1112 Harvard Street as an accessory studio to their planned home on the adjacent lot at 2414 East 11th Street. With the assurance that there would be no vehicular access to this subject property and that all visitor access would be from the adjacent property, the neighborhood’s concerns about removing on-site parking were adequately addressed. As Harvard Street is quite narrow, curved, and bound by extreme topography, in this particular and unique case removing on-site parking and removing access from the street should actually improve safety conditions.
