DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the resubdivision of Lot 18, Block A of Park Forrest, section 6, comprised of two lots on 12,690 sf, with a flag lot variance. This application was submitted on May 15, 2019 and has not expired because subdivision deadlines have been suspended until December 31, 2021 (Order No. 20200815-019). Because this plat was submitted under the regulations in effect prior to HB3167, it requires a public hearing and a commission variance for the flag lot. The flag lot variance complies with the criteria of approval in LDC 25-4- 175(A) because all reviewers have approved the plat and the driveway/utility plan, it is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood because it is located in a single family residential neighborhood and can be developed with a single family house, and staff is not aware of any private deed restrictions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval of the plat. With the variance, the plat meets all applicable State and City of Austin Land Development Code requirements.

This property was previously platted as the Stoneridge Estates Subdivision. The plat vacation for Stoneridge Estates (C8J-2008-0195.0A(VAC) is also being considered by ZAP and recommended for approval.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chair Barrera Ramirez and members of the Zoning and Platting Commission FROM: Steve Hopkins, Planning Officer, LUR subdivision review supervisor DATE: May 18, 2021 SUBJECT: Options available to the ZAP for action on subdivision applications At the hearing on May 4, the Zoning and Platting Commission requested a briefing from staff regarding options available for action on subdivision applications. This memo will outline the options available to the Commission for action on subdivision applications and will clarify the staff recommendations. As used in this memo, the terms “Land Use Commission” and “Commission” refer to the Zoning and Platting Commission and the Planning Commission. Both Commissions have the same authority to act on a subdivision application. The term “subdivision application” refers to an application for a preliminary plan or final plat. Below is a summary of the options available to the Land Use Commission for action on subdivision applications per the 2019 State Law HB3167: Option 1: Disapprove for Reasons. This means the application requires changes that necessitate additional technical review and may impact other facets of code and criteria. If a plat has been Disapproved for Reasons, the next update is required to return to the commission at a hearing. Option 2: Approve with Conditions. This means the plat will comply with all requirements after certain conditions are met. The conditions will be limited to routine administrative items which require no discretion, such as recording an easement or posting fiscal surety. If a plat is Approved with Conditions, the next update does not need to return to the commission at a hearing. Option 3: Approve as Submitted. This means staff has found the application complies with code and criteria and is ready to be approved. A postponement, lack of a quorum, or other failure to take action as outlined above, would result in the automatic approval of the application as submitted. The city must act on a subdivision application, as outlined above, within 30 calendar days of initial submittal. The city must act on updates within 15 days. All subdivision applications have the same deadline whether they are administrative or require a hearing with the Land Use Commission. If a hearing is required for the initial submittal, it will occur on the 30th day. If a hearing is required for an update, it will occur on the 14th day.

(District 3) Lead Department Austin Energy Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Operating Budget of Austin Energy. Prior Council Action: For More Information: Jeff Vice, Director, Local Government Issues (512) 322-6087; Tim Harvey, Customer Renewable Solutions Manager (512) 482-5386 Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 13, 2021- To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. May 18, 2021- To be reviewed by the Resource Management Commission. Additional Backup Information: Austin Energy requests approval to issue a total of $323,360 in capacity-based incentives to the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) for the installation of solar electric systems at its multifamily affordable housing community Pathways at Chalmers Courts East, located at 300 Chicon St., 78702. The proposed 323.36 kW-DC solar installation includes 752 solar modules, each with a rating of 430 watts, and is expected to produce approximately 202,568 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year.

The total estimated installation cost is $572,922.11 and the incentive will cover approximately 56% of the cost. The purpose of the installation is to provide affordable, renewable energy to underserved populations and leverage the Value-of-Solar benefit to reduce electric bills for the occupants of the multifamily affordable housing properties. In order to provide these benefits to tenants of the property, this project will be included in Austin Energy’s Shared Solar Program, the purpose of which is to enable more cost-effective solar installations on individually-metered, multi-tenant properties for low-to-moderate-income customers. This additional functionality will allow Austin Energy and HACA to distribute the benefit of the solar installation across all tenants on each property, effectively reducing their energy bills. According to the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan, “Austin Energy must be financially sound, the cost of electric service must be affordable for all classes of customers (with particular attention to the low income and underserved customers), and rates must be competitive to ensure the retention and attraction of businesses for a strong local economy.” In …
