Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Maureen Meredith STAFF EMAIL: Maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov TYPE OF AMENDMENT: Change in Future Land Use Designation From: Single Family Base District Zoning Change To: Multifamily PHONE: (512) 974-2695 Related Zoning Case: C14-2020-0047 From: SF-3-NP To: MF-1-NP NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: April 1, 2004 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020 – (pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. B-11 of 27 BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for multifamily land use because it will add additional housing to the planning area and the city. Multifamily land use is appropriate for this location because there is multifamily land use to the north and east of the property. The proposed change would allow for additional residential units located near the North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor and the Crestview Station Town Center as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan has objectives and recommendations that seek to protect existing single family uses and to also add housing types currently not available in the planning area for retirees and first time home buyers. The applicant’s proposal to build townhomes could help meet these goals. Land Use Objectives and Recommendations Land Use Objective 1: Preserve the character and affordability of the Crestview and Wooten Neighborhoods. Recommendations 1. Existing single-family residential areas should retain SF-3 zoning. Land Use Objective 5: Provide opportunities for the ultimate redevelopment of the Huntsman Petrochemical site to “complete” the neighborhood and create quality open space. Recommendations 1. Focus more intense commercial and mixed use development along Lamar Boulevard. a. Change the zoning for parcels fronting Lamar Boulevard to allow current uses to continue, but encourage redevelopment with more pedestrian-oriented mixed use. b. Prohibit or limit any additional development of incompatible industrial uses, such as basic industry and mining. c. Preserve the historic farmhouse located at 810 Banyon Street. 2. Encourage the development of residential uses on Morrow Street adjacent to the existing neighborhood. a. Morrow Street should be developed primarily with single family residential that complements the existing homes on the north side of the street. b. Other portions of the site …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING/ COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2020-0047 2 DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre. The west property line and 1/3rd of the north property line of the subject parcel are contiguous with SF-3-NP zoned land. 2/3rds of the north and all of the east property line of the …

ISSUES 1 of 17B-4 C14-05-0112(RCA2) 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 10.48 acres and currently developed with a mixed-use project containing multifamily residential and commercial uses. It was rezoned to ERC with the East Riverside Neighborhood Plan Rezoning Case in 2006 and is surrounded by other properties within the ERC. That rezoning case included a public Restrictive Covenant (RC Recording No. 2007039123) which was later amended in 2011 (RC Recording No. 2011186530), please see Exhibit B: Original Restrictive Covenants. The Applicant’s request is to modify the ownership requirement from the first RC to remove the requirement that a minimum of 45 residential units be for sale and to increase the maximum number of residential units allowed on the property from 450 units to 520 units from the amended RC.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-051 of 10 C14-2020-0062 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Webberville Road and Tannehill Lane, approximately 500 feet north of Samuel Huston Avenue. The property is zoned SF-3-NP and is undeveloped. Immediately to the south is land zoned MF-3-NP and SF-3-NP. Both areas are developed with single family residential land uses. Immediately to the north is SF-3-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Across Webberville Road to the west is primarily property zoned SF-3-NP that is developed with single family land uses—the area also includes small areas of SF-4A-NP and SF-6-NP with higher density residential uses. Across Tannehill Lane to the east is property zoned MF-2-CO-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. A land use-only site plan (an “A” site plan) was filed for this site in 2006 to develop the site under the residential infill standards that were approved under the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan (EMLKNP) and is under City review for extension. Development under these regulations requires that at least 40% of any residential units be located on fee-simple single family lots; cottage lots may not be more than 20% of total single-family units. The infill tool has minimum requirements of 10% townhouse and multifamily as well. Maximums are also established for these categories and others. If the site is developed under this program, an engineered site plan (a “B” site plan) will be required, as well as subdivision of the single family lots, public roads, and other infrastructure. Please see Exhibit C- Residential Infill Requirements. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The property has significant topographic constraints, with elevations ranging from 520 feet to 560 feet. The current SF-3-NP zoning and this topography makes it difficult to develop with consistently and reasonably sized buildable lots. Under SF-3-NP zoning, development …

The conditional overlay is to carry over existing prohibited uses. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission July 28, 2020 Approved neighborhood’s postponement request to August 25, 2020. Vote: 12-0. [P. Seeger, G. Anderson – 2nd; C. Hampel was absent].

Adjacent to the north is a tract zoned CS-V, to the east is South 1st Street and across South 1st Street are tracts zoned MF-3-NP and LR-CO-NP. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned MF-3 and to the west is SF-3 zoning. This property is subject to an existing Ordinance (20070405-043) which limits the number of trips per day, caps development on the property to 40 feet and prohibits a set of uses. The applicant is requesting to remove the trip limitations and building height restriction but carry over the existing list of prohibited uses. Those uses include the following: Adult-oriented businesses Automotive rentals Automotive repair services Automotive sales Automotive washing (of any kind) BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Bail bond services Commercial blood plasma center Convenience storage Pawn shop services Vehicle storage 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The applicant is requesting to rezone from CS-CO to CS-MU-V-CO. This property is in between CS-V and MF-3 zoned tracts. Allowing for a mix of uses on this site would help in transition between zoning districts. Additionally, this property is located on a Core Transit Corridor as defined by the current City Land Development Code. These corridors are roadways that have or will have …

It is located on the west side of Valley View Road which is developed with a mixture of single family and multifamily residential, public and office zoning districts. Adjacent to the north and south are properties zoned LO and SF-3. Across Valley View Road to the east are properties zoned SF-3 and adjacent to the west is a property zoned LO, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map for context. 1 of 9B-7 C14-2020-0076 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The applicant is proposing to build townhomes on this property. Their amended request of SF-6 allows the owner to utilize the property as they originally intended and aids in the transition of zoning between the office zoning districts along Menchaca Road and single- family zoning districts on Valley View Road.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is a portion of a lot located on the northbound IH 35 frontage road just north of its intersection with US Highway 183, and contains a vacant commercial building. The western two-thirds of the property is zoned CH-CO-NP through a 1989 rezoning case; the Conditional Overlay limits development to administrative and business office uses, and building additions to a maximum of 35,000 square feet. The remainder of the property is zoned general commercial services – neighborhood plan (CS-NP). Immediately north of the property are TXDoT Austin District offices and a large maintenance facility. East of the tract is recently cleared land and Travis County Appraisal District offices (CS-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 (Zoning Map) and (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant is proposing to rezone the property to the CS-NP district to provide a consistent set of uses and regulations on the property and redevelop with retail sales uses. 1 of 10B-8 C14-2020-0072 Page 2 BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The general commercial services (CS) district is intended predominantly for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. The CS district is best suited for uses located at intersections of arterial roadways or arterials with collector status.

PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN VARIANCE REQUEST REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SP-2019-0171C PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING DATE : 8/25/20 (512) 399-5365 (512) 637-7518 Phone: (512) 974-2711 Renee.Johns@austintexas.gov Goodwill Central Texas 1015 Norwood Park BLVD Austin, TX 78753 Dunaway | UDG 5707 Southwest Parkway, Bldg 2, Ste. 250 Austin, TX 78735 PROJECT NAME: Goodwill Store ADDRESS OF APPLICATION: 2411 Lake Austin Blvd. APPLICANT: AGENT: CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing to construct a Goodwill store that will be a general retail sales (convenience) use at 2411 Lake Austin Blvd. Associated improvements include underground parking, utilities and other associated improvements. DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE: The applicant is requesting a variance from § 25-2-744(E) Waterfront Overlay University/Deep Eddy Subdistrict Regulations, which limits the impervious coverage of a site area not included in a primary or secondary waterfront overlay setback to 40% impervious coverage. The existing development is currently at 89% impervious coverage, and the proposed development would not increase the current impervious coverage on site. The Waterfront Overlay variance process requires the applicant to obtain recommendations from both the Small Area Planning Joint Committee and the Environmental Commission, before the Land Use Commission. These hearings have been scheduled for August 24th and August 19th respectively. 25-2-713- 25-2-721 SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the variance and the site plan as proposed. Before recommending the project for a variance, staff considered whether “the variance is the minimum required by the peculiarities of the tract” [LDC Section 25-2-713(B)(2)]. The peculiarities of the site include: • The site is a smaller infill site, less than .4 acres • Overall site area reduced further during site plan review process by ROW dedication requirements along Lake Austin Blvd. which reduced buildable area to .37 acres • The site is also limited by compatibility requirements triggered by the SF-3 zoning district located less than 50 feet to the west that limit the maximum height on site. The applicant has worked with staff and the proposed development currently exceeds drainage/water quality requirements by capturing offsite drainage, incorporates rain gardens on 1 of 6B-9 site, no surface parking, and provides end of trip facilities (showers, lockers, etc.). Additionally, the new development will remove a brownfield site in the Waterfront Overlay. TOWN LAKE CORRIDOR STUDY: Staff considered the Town Lake Corridor Study and the effect of this project. Staff determined there is no adverse impact of this project to the …
