ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 21, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12B-2 C14-2021-0126 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 17.175 acre tract of land that fronts onto and takes access to FM 620 Road.

The staff recommends the applicant’s request for MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning at this location because of the commercial character of the area and because the property takes access to a major arterial roadway, North FM 620 Road.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 21, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: October 14, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of two platted lots, is located near the end of the block and zoned development reserve (DR) district. There is a concrete pad / driveway on the west lot and a vacant manufactured home on the east lot. Keilbar Lane contains undeveloped land, single family residences and manufactured homes on lots annexed into the City limits in the mid-1980s. There are single family residences and manufactured homes to the north and east (SF-3; DR), a detached condominium community to the south that takes access to Menchaca Road (MF-2-CO), and undeveloped lots on Keilbar Lane to the west (SF-6). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build a two- family residence at each address. 1 of 12B-5 C14-2021-0129 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for four residences on the two lots. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote …

Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Operating Budget of Austin Energy. Prior Council Action: 20200917-002- Council approved the authorization of energy efficiency program rebates by Austin Energy during Fiscal Year 2020-21 for multifamily energy efficiency rebates and for commercial and small business energy efficiency rebates.

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: September 13, 2021 – The Electric Utility Commission was cancelled due to lack of quorum. September 21, 2021 – To be reviewed by the Resource Management Commission. Additional Backup Information: Austin Energy’s energy efficiency rebate programs provide customer incentives to reduce energy demand and associated costs, benefiting all electric utility customers and the utility. This authorization will allow Austin Energy to issue rebates to multifamily, commercial and small business customers during Fiscal Year 2021 - 2022 (FY22) for energy efficiency improvements in accordance with program guidelines and up to a combined amount of $6,050,000. The aggregate rebate approval request approved in FY20 and FY21 reflects our continued commitment to be responsive and flexible to customer needs by reducing the wait time needed to be reimbursed for energy efficiency upgrades. These customers will receive an average of three upgrades per unit (e.g., smart thermostats, lighting, solar screens, HVAC tune-up, etc.), helping to reduce their energy costs during the continued economic uncertainty. The aggregate approval ensures program continuity by assuring that contractors and property managers/owners would receive rebate funding promptly which is even more important in these uncertain economic times. As per current practice, Austin Energy staff will continue to provide a monthly report that summarizes the Commercial, Small Business, and Multifamily program pipeline (including leads, active, and paid projects). For all projects that will exceed $61,000 in rebates, the report will also include measures installed, expected savings, and other relevant data. Therefore, Austin Energy requests authorization to issue up to $2,700,000 in multifamily energy efficiency rebates and $3,350,000 in commercial and small business energy efficiency rebates during Fiscal Year …

I hope I find you well. Thank you for your email. We have not received an application to rezone this property to PD. I have spoken to the property owner and Ms. Braasch regarding the PD request and application process; however, the application has not been submitted as of today. The only case we have on file is the former rezoning case when they were requesting Neighborhood Business with a Conditional Overlay (NB-CO). If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Rivera Circle Importance: High Hello, It is my understanding that Jennie Braasch, with Pohl Partners, has a rezoning case in where she is requesting PD zoning for a property off of South Rivera Circle. The City of Austin is currently processing a rezoning request to the south of this site at 2610 ½ South Lakeline Boulevard (Please see attached zoning case report for Sun Auto, case C14-2021-0003). Could let me know the status of Ms. Braasch’s rezoning request in Cedar Park? The City of Austin Zoning and Platting Commission will review case C14-2021-0003 again on September 21, 2021 and would like to know what is occurring on the adjacent property to the north within Cedar Park.

Please include this in back-up for Tuesday. Thank you, Victoria Haase Thrower Design www.throwerdesign.com Mail: P.O. Box 41957 Austin, Texas 78704 512-998-5900 Cell 512-476-4456 Office From: Victoria Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2021 1:02 PM To: Cc: Ron Thrower <> Subject: RE: The Rhett - 1000 E Yager Lane Good Afternoon All, We’ve received some additional questions that are addresses below. 1. How will the privacy be maintained for homes that back up to the west side of Copperfield Drive? The structures on the three lots (addressed from Zeller Lane) are nearly 300ft and more from the proposed structures to be built. This creates a significant buffer such that the new units will not be looming over the yards of those homes. The houses on Markham that back up to the subject tract are, at a minimum, 134feet and as far as 189ft from the proposed buildings. In addition to trees being preserved on the property, more trees will be planted with some along Copperfield Drive. 2. Additional concerns that the proposed development will be run-down and not taken care of. Reiterating that as an affordable housing development, the owner is required to keep ownership of the development for a minimum of 15 years. Therefore, this will not be a scenario where the property is developed and flipped to someone else with little to no knowledge of these conversations/concerns. Further, there will be state and local oversight, with various inspections, some occurring annually, to ensure that the project is meeting the requirements of the program. It is in the best interest of the landowner to keep the property in good standing because if not, the landowner/developer will have financial penalties/repercussions. 3. Is this development Section 8 housing? No. 4. How much are the proposed rents? The following are the rent maximums according to 2021 Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area data and are subject to change over time as the data changes. This development is proposed to have all units at 60% or 50% MFI levels. Therefore, a family of 4 …
