PROPERTY OWNER: Terrance Mountain Investors I LLC (Frank Trabold) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff’s recommendation is to grant downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning with the conditional overlay limiting building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant requests rezoning from general commercial services (CS) to downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would limit building height to sixty feet per the Downtown Area Plan. The subject property is 0.38 acre (16,500 square foot) tract on the south side of West 12th Street, between North Lamar Boulevard and Shoal Creek Boulevard. The tract is about 240 feet east of North Lamar and 100 feet west of Shoal Creek Boulevard, and the east property line of the subject property is the Shoal Creek greenbelt. 1 of 12B-14 C14-2020-0052 2 The existing one-story building is a sandwich shop sited about 12 feet from West 12th Street with parking west of the building. Demolition of the building is proposed. The FEMA Floodplain extends along West 12th Street from the intersection with Shoal Creek west to about 150 feet from Baylor Street. In other words, the entire property is within the Floodplain. The proposed use of the parcel is listed as mixed use on the zoning application. Downtown Austin Plan The subject property is within the Downtown Austin Plan – Market / Lamar District boundaries adopted by the City Council on December 8, 2011. That plan produced a recommended rezoning map with proposed building heights limits. The recommendations were not implemented by rezoning all of the affected properties. Instead, they guide Staff recommendations for rezoning and for the conditional overlay recommendation on building height limits. The proposed zoning for the subject parcel in the DAP is DMU-60. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Applicant describes their proposed use as “mixed use” which is …

(Taylor Bowen) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends amending the Restrictive Covenants to increase the total number of units allowed on site to 520 units and removing the ownership requirements. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 Planned to be Scheduled for City Council RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AMENDMENT RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. 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. This 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 B-151 of 14 C14-05-0112(RCA2) 2 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. No other changes are proposed at this time. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Applicant’s proposed changes to the Restrictive Covenants to allow for increased density and removal of ownership requirements. This is an existing mixed-use development. Currently the Applicant is proposing all new construction in an undeveloped area of the property with no increased entitlements other than the density. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing Lady Bird Boardwalk Trail access. Allowing additional units for this development would increase density in an area that is already developed without replacing any existing units.

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code prior to its release. SUMMARY STAFF COMMENT ON SITE PLAN: The applicant proposes a 4,860 square foot brewery and a 1,180 square foot tap room for on-site sale and consumption. The Light Manufacturing Use permits beer or ale produced on-site to be sold for on-site consumption. Because the brewery is within 540 of single family uses, it is a conditional use according to Land Development Code Section 25-2- 865(B)(2). Therefore, Land Use Commission review and approval is required. The site is already developed. No construction will occur with this site plan approval. Two letters of support were received and are included within the back-up materials. One from OS St. Elmo, LLC and one from the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team.

Total gross floor area (excluding below grade parking) is 104,723 square feet, with a total of 249 vehicle parking spaces (including 12 ADA spaces) and 72 bicycle spaces. The restaurant consists of 4,559 square feet and the ground floor retail would be 3,588 square feet. The site will have a single driveway accessing San Marcos Street, with trash and loading in the alley to the north. Public sidewalk improvements are proposed along 7th Street and along San Marcos and public alley improvements are proposed to the north of the building. One variance from compatibility setback requirements is being requested. DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE: 1) From 25 feet to 20 feet for the north setback. [LDC § 25-2-1063] SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The parcel to the north is separated from the subject site by a 20 foot wide public alley. That parcel is developed with an historic use (the French Legation) and is within the SF-3-H-HD-NP (Family Residence – Historic – Historic District - Neighborhood Plan) Zone. Improvements are proposed to the alley, within the public right of way. At the southern edge of the alley, the project includes new paving to serve a proposed loading zone. While the building wall is placed at 25 feet from the residentially zoned property to the north, in conformance with the compatibility setbacks, the new on-site paving for loading access and trash collection wall require a variance for construction beginning 20 feet south of those parcels. No written objections to the proposed variance have been received. The owner of the parcel to the north has submitted written comments in general support of the project.

The applicant is proposing one residential flag lot with this application for Lot 2. The applicant has obtained approval from the Fire Department to verify accessibility for emergency responders, approval from the Austin Water Utility, Austin Energy, and the City Arborist to verify there is adequate room for the required utilities and enhanced tree protection on the site. It is the Staff’s opinion that the proposed subdivision is compatible with the surrounding development, and is consistent with other flag lots or multi-units within the neighborhood. It should also be noted that there are no known deed restrictions on the site, and a note has been added that requires all addresses for residential lots utilizing a flag lot design must be displayed at their closest point of access to a public street for emergency responders. Because the application meets the flag lot criteria as required by the Land Development Code, the Staff recommends approval of the variance. For additional information on the variance request see the accompanied memo and exhibits. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the Resubdivision of Lot 3, Less West 53 feet thereof, Block 2, Magnolia Addition composed of two lots on 0.4683 acres. The applicant is proposing to resubdivide a portion of a lot into a two lot subdivision for residential uses.

Oltorf Street and Wickersham Lane and is surrounded on all sides with a base zoning of MF-2. In 2013 this property was rezoned from MF-2 to GR-MU-CO. The conditional overlay on the property prohibited a list of land uses and limited the density of the property to 36 residential units per acre, see Exhibit D: Ordinance No. 20130214-066.

From: Rodney Ahart Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 12:36 PM To: Chaffin, Heather <Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov> Cc: Alice Glasco; Alex Clarke <>; Jaime X. Guerra <>; Scooter Cheatham <> Subject: Case Number: C14-2020-0064 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Chaffin, The Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (WPNPCT) met Monday, July 20, 2020, to review and discuss its recommendation on Case Number: C14-2020-0064. The proposed project is located at 6007 N IH 35 SVRD NB (former Texas Land & Cattle Restaurant) within the boundaries of the Windsor Park Neighborhood Planning Area. The WPNPCT unanimously supports the zoning request of CS-MU-V-NP to allow approximately 269 multi-family units and approximately 3,000 square feet of general retail with the provision that 10% of the units are affordable at 60% MFI in accordance with the Windsor Park VMU ordinance.

July 24, 2020 RE: C14-2017-0010 - 4400 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning NPA-2016-0014.01 Plan Amendment - 4400 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning To Planning Commissioners and City Council Members, Based on updated information received at the 07/08/2020, 07/13/2020 and 07/22/2020 meetings with City Staff, Applicant, Austin Transportation Department, SE Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team and concerned neighbors, the Los Arboles Homeowners' Association OPPOSES rezoning 4400 Nuckols Crossing from SF-2-NP to MF-4-NP. Los Arboles consists of 314 single family homes with Viewpoint Dr as the entry into the neighborhood. Some of the considerations for opposition are listed below. 1. The proposed driveway to 4400 Nuckols Crossing will be only 150 ft from Viewpoint Dr on the east side of Nuckols Crossing and a driveway into Woodway Village Apartments on the west side of Nuckols Crossing. The accepted distance between driveways should be 500 ft. The Applicant has proposed a solution to the driveway problem by adding turn lanes in the right of way, possibly with vertical delineators in the middle of Nuckols Crossing. We believe this will cause a major hazard for vehicles turning in and out of Viewpoint Dr and the Woodway Village Apartments driveway and for through traffic on Nuckols Crossing. 3. Traffic on Nuckols Crossing is already 10 times the amount that this road is designed to ideally handle. Traffic counts taken in February 2020 indicate that existing vehicle trips is at 14,929. According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have pavement width less than 30 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadway exceeds 1,200 vehicles per day. Nuckols Crossing Road is currently operating at an undesirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of site traffic. These statistics, and the opinion that Nuckols Crossing is currently at an undesirable level, are taken directly from the Zoning Review Change Sheet provided by City Staff. The proposed development will add another 979 vehicle trips, an increase of over 13%. 4. The City has no plan to improve this section of Nuckols Crossing/E St Elmo. It is a narrow 2 lane road in very poor condition with no curbs, gutters, sidewalks or bike lanes, or even enough right of way to add them except in front of 4400 Nuckols Crossing. There is a very sharp curve with no sight lines where Nuckols …

Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hedda Elias Thursday, July 23, 2020 12:59 PM Clark, Kate Revised letter for backup Montopolis cases *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To Ms. Clark: Please either switch out this letter for the one that is already in the backup for these cases, or include it after the other letter. Thank you! I am writing in opposition to cases C14‐2020‐0039, C14‐2020‐0039 & C14‐2020‐0044. Background The same group of developers is asking for zoning changes to SF‐6 on four different lots in Montopolis. According to UT‐ Austin's report Uprooted, my neighborhood is one of the few that can still be saved from gentrification. Two of these cases are on my small street that is already a major bike throuroghfare with no sidewalks and frequent deer crossings, the same street as the 508 Kemp Street case which was approved for SF‐6 zoning at the planning commission meeting June 23. We already have amenities; we don't need developer promises Know that the sites for 200 Montopolis and Clovis/Kemp have direct access to the public trail into Roy G. Guerrero Park, which has scenic views from the lawn and one of the best playgrounds in the city. The Saxon Acres site is across from Civitan Park. Any promises of playgrounds, scenic views or 1 affordable unit ring hollow in these cases, as they did with 508 Kemp St. In reference to C14‐2020‐0030 & C14‐2020‐0039: No direct access to highway right of way nor major street The city staff recommendation states that 200 Montopolis is bordered by the Hwy 183 right of way. This is inaccurate. This land borders the old Montopolis Bridge and the trail that leads into Roy Guerrero Park and the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike trail. The Old Montopolis Bridge is being converted into a bike and pedestrian bridge. Furthermore, this is not the main section of Montopolis Drive. It is a tiny road with unmarked lanes and no sidewalks that turns into a right‐turn only lane onto the main Montopolis Drive just past where it intersects with Clovis/Kemp Street. If drivers from either 200 Montopolis or Clovis/Kemp want to go north or south on Hwy 183 (the only way to head into downtown) they will be coming on Kemp Street to mix with the bicycles that already pass, deer that cross the road from one field to the other and kids that …
