The Contact Team had previously requested postponement of this case until January 25, 2022, and the Applicant was only agreeable to a postponement until January 11, 2022. However, several were postponed by the Planning Commission to the January 11th meeting, cases including the subject case. All correspondence received is attached at the back of the Staff report.

The conditional overlay is for a maximum building height of 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 3, 2022 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Staff has received comments on this rezoning request. For all written or emailed comments, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is located on the south side of W. 11th Street and is approximately 0.15 acres in size. It is currently zoned LO and is developed with a single-family residential unit. Adjacent zoning consists of GO-MU to the east and LO to the west. Across the alley to the south and to the north across W. 11th Street are properties zoned GO, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. B-131 of 17 The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to allow for a higher intensity of use and a mix of commercial and residential uses. This block of the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) has identified a mixture of DMU-40 and DMU-60 properties. While the DAP identifies this property as DMU- 40, it is surrounded by DMU-60 properties on three sides. Additionally, within this area there have been three rezoning cases in the last two years where the City Council has approved DMU- CO with height limits of either 60 or 90 feet. Within the applicant’s rezoning application, they stated they were agreeable to a conditional overlay to limit the building height to 60 feet on the property. Staff supports the addition of this CO. The Downtown Austin Plan does not have a future land use map (FLUM) and therefore does not require a neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) to be considered with the rezoning request. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. This property is adjacent to and surrounded by GO zoned properties to the north, south and east. The GO zoning …

The building is a good example of a large warehouse building that typifies rail-side warehouses for wholesale distribution of provisions and commodities during the time that the vast majority of those operations were rail lines. This is a utilitarian building with little architectural flourish, but qualifies for landmark designation under the architectural criterion as a good example of a utilitarian structure with few alterations. Historical Associations: This warehouse building was constructed around 1912 for the Nalley Grocery Company, operated by A.M. Nalley, and later by J. Gordon Wilcox, a prominent wholesale grocery man in town. Nalley Grocery Company remained here until around 1917, when the Shear Company, owned by Mrs. H.H.

Customer Removal of Vehicle Immobilization Devices – January 11, 2022 City of Austin Transportation Department A Brief Overview of Private Vehicle Immobilization (Booting): • The City of Austin currently regulates privately owned vehicle immobilization companies under Chapter 13-7 of City Code and the City’s adopted vehicle immobilization rules. • Vehicle immobilization services are intended to reduce unauthorized parking activities within privately owned parking lots throughout the City. • Currently, there are four companies licensed to perform private vehicle immobilization services within the City. • Personnel who engage in vehicle boot installation and removal are required to pass a criminal history background check and receive a permit from the Austin Police Department. • Currently, companies are required by City Code § 13-7-42 to remove a boot, in exchange for the vehicle immobilization fee, not later than one hour after the time the owner or operator of the vehicle contacts the licensee responsible for installation of the boot to request removal of the boot. Requested: Optional Removal of Boot by Customer • • • In October of 2021, a licensed booting company in Austin requested authorization to allow customers the option of removing a boot from their own vehicle for the purposes of convenience and timely service. In September of 2021, the Austin Transportation Department met with vehicle immobilization company representatives to discuss the processes and details associated with a customer removal option. In November of 2021, the Austin Transportation Dept. then met with The Austin Police Dept. and the Austin Law Dept. to discuss the processes and details associated with a customer removal option. Optional Removal of Boot by Customer: How it Works Currently, when a boot is installed upon a vehicle, it is required that a notice be conspicuously adhered to the windshield or driver-side window containing information whereby the driver may contact the booting company to arrange for removal. STEP 1: The driver may then request the company remove the boot or elect to remove the boot themselves. STEP 2: If the driver elects company removal of the boot, a representative of the booting company must remove the boot within one hour of the request. STEP 3: If the driver elects self-removal of the boot, the booting company will provide the customer with a code to unlock the booting device once the booting fee has been paid. The driver shall then remove the boot and return it to a …

-----Original Message----- From: Susan Griswold Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2021 4:25 PM To: Connor Greissing Subject: 4th St. Hello Conner, I've lived on E. 4th St. for more than 10 years. RC asked me to tell you my opinion about the 65' vs. 85' building at the TCT location. As long as the heritage pecan tree is kept alive (no serious root damage) and the plan to have extensive green space and walkways on the ground level for public use come to fruition, I'm good with 85 feet. I'd much rather see sprawl upward, rather than horizontally, where the green space is eaten up. Thanks, Susan Griswold 1305 E. 4th St. Austin, 78702
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 3 TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning CASE: C14-2021-0138 1400 E 4th Street ZONING FROM: TOD-NP ADDRESS: 1400 East 4th Street SITE AREA: 0.9983 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Robert C. Beall and Beth A. Beall AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to TOD-NP to amend the Saltillo Plaza Transit Oriented District (TOD) Station Area Plan and Regulating Plan to allow a building height up to 85 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0138 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pay a fee-in-lieu to the Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Density Bonus tool permits the property to increase the building height from 40 feet to 60 feet to meet the permitted FAR of 2:1. This is already administratively permitted by the TOD. Since the Applicant intends to develop the property with office land uses with ground floor restaurant uses and sub-grade parking. Since there are no onsite residential units, the Applicant will be required to pay the fee in lieu. The rezoning request is to allow the property to increase the building height from 60 feet to 85 feet and increase the FAR from 2:1 to 3.81. If granted, the applicant will be required to pay the fee-in-lieu to HPD for the total increase in FAR. (Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 4th Street between Navasota Street and Onion Street. The rezoning tract is bounded by a vacated alley to the north. The property is zoned TOD-NP, as are the surrounding properties. The property is currently developed with office and warehouse uses. The property across the alley to the north are Capital Metro offices. Plaza Saltillo rail station is northeast across the intersection of the alley and Onion Street. Across Onion Street to the east are Indoor and Outdoor entertainment and Pedicab storage and dispatch service land uses. A mixed use multifamily/office building is also under construction on the block. Across East 4th Street to the south are …
