BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing a mixed use project with 258 residential units above ground-floor retail. The property is located in an area with industrial zoning and is located near the Airport Overlay Zone. Staff does not support placing residential uses in this area. See the associated zoning case report, C14-2020-0101, for more information the property in relation to the Airport Overlay Zone. Below are sections of the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan document that addresses industrial areas within the planning area. Industrial Zones A distinctive element of the existing land use landscape within the Planning Areas is that there are defined districts with large amounts of existing industrial development, and numerous undeveloped properties with industrial zoning. The fact that this part of southeast Austin is surrounded by major transportation corridors, has a large amount of undeveloped land, and is in close proximity to the airport makes it a very attractive location for industrial development. The McKinney and Southeast NPAs host the majority of this type of construction, much of this in the form of large industrial office parks. Instead of rejecting industrial-type development around their homes, residents in the Franklin Park and McKinney NPAs have been successful at communicating and cooperating with nearby industrial property owners. Area residents have traditionally been amenable to those types of industrial uses that don’t interfere with neighborhood activities or infringe upon their quality of life. Goal 4 Ensure that existing residential and industrial zoned properties co-exist in a compatible manner. Objective 4.1 Provide appropriate buffer zones between residential and industrial zoned properties. Action Item 9 Where needed, create …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 8, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: January 27, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: PAZ Staff hosted a virtual meeting with the Applicant and the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team on Monday, October 19th. The Contact Team has provided a letter of support for the proposed rezoning and related NPA cases. Please refer to the attached correspondence. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot contains one residence and is located on Burleson Road between McKinney Falls Parkway to the west and Norwood Lane to the east. The property has had limited industrial services – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (LI-CO-NP) and community commercial – mixed use – neighborhood plan (GR-MU-NP) district zonings since Council approved the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan Rezonings in October 2002 and June 2003 (C14-02-0128 and C14-03-0039).

MEMORANDUM ************************************************************************ TO: Todd Shaw, Chair Planning Commission Members FROM: Wendy Rhoades, Principal Planner & Mark Graham, Senior Planner Housing and Planning Department November 30, 2020 DATE: RE: C14-2020-0112 – 416 West 12th Street – Delta Kappa Gamma Request for Postponement by Staff to January 26, 2021 ************************************************************************ Staff requests a postponement of the above-referenced rezoning case to January 26, 2021 so that the Historic Landmark Commission has an opportunity to determine on December 14, 2020 if they recommend Historic zoning for the subject property to the Land Use Commission. The applicant requested Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning and the Historic Landmark Commission voted at their November 16th meeting to initiate a Historic (H) zoning on the building and organization. By postponing the case to January 26th, the Planning Commission may be able to consider both cases at one public hearing. This also helps to minimize the number of hearings that the applicant and other interested parties must attend. 1 of 1B-13

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommendation (per 25-2-586(B)(6)(c)) for Downtown Density Bonus Program Application: The East Tower: 1 of 33B-14 Note: Because there are frequent references to LDC Section 25-2-586(B)(3) and (B)(6) and Figure 2 (referenced in (B)(3)), those pages are attached to this recommendation.

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: A 28,358 square foot art gallery exists on site. The applicant is seeking to add a cocktail lounge use to supplement the art gallery events. A cocktail lounge is a conditional use in CS-1 zoning districts according to Land Development Code Section 25-2-491. Therefore, Land Use Commission review and approval is required. The CS-1 zoning makes up 28,358 square feet of the 2-lot, 521,848.8 square foot site. The site is already developed. No construction will occur with this site plan approval. Restrictions on Alcoholic Beverages - § 4-9-4 – Minimum Distance From Certain Uses Austin City Code establishes restrictions for the sale of alcoholic beverages at a place of business within 300 feet of a church, public school, or public hospital, except as provided by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. The distance shall be calculated using the method prescribed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. A church exists approximately 490 feet to the east from property line to property line, across Connor Lane. The Hart Elementary School exists on the adjacent property to the west, though the school itself is set back significantly from the property line. The cocktail lounge is also set back from the property line. The cocktail lounge is proposed to be entirely within Building 2, a building situated in the northern portion of a 2-lot site. The process to obtain an Alcoholic Beverage Permit, and the consideration of distance requirements, is a separate process through the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. 1 of 5B-16 Vacancy Brewery Page 2 11.98 acres (total site of 2 lots) CS-1-NP, LI-NP (the proposed use is entirely within CS-1-NP) Cocktail Lounge …

LDC section 25-8-261 states the following: In all watersheds, development is prohibited in a critical water quality zone except as provided in this Division.
