ECONOMICS ECONOMICS With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, most city parks agencies as well as nonprofit park partners saw tremendous drops in revenue as most events and in-person programming were curtailed in the past year. While this is slowly changing with the rollout of vaccines, it is unclear how quickly such revenues will recover. Further, as documented by research done by the National Recreation and Parks Association and researchers at Pennsylvania State University, economic downturns cause particular challenges for parks systems. Parks and recreation agencies are the first to see budget cuts and the last to see cuts restored, as documented by studies looking at the period 2003-2013. Further, any funds collected through concession agreements as well as park usage fees (pool admission fees, rentals of picnic sites, event locations like the Zilker Clubhouse or even large multi-day events like the Austin City Limits Music Festival) are paid into the City’s general fund, a portion of which are “returned” to the Parks and Recreation department via annual budget appropriations. The parks department, by and large, does not keep any of the fees collected by city ordinance directly, but shares in them. This is true in most U.S. cities for park fees. Finally, while nonprofits can raise funds and apply those funds for park improvements, programming and operations, those funds collectively are a small portion of total park spending. Based on research performed by The Trust for Public Land, six percent of annual spending in the 100 largest U.S. cities for parks comes from nonprofit park organizations. For Austin specifically, TPL’s ParkScore index reported in 2020 that 13% of funding came from a dozen park nonprofits, totaling $20.7M, putting Austin #17 out of 100 in terms of nonprofit funding share. The bulk of this spending for capital projects by APF, The Trail Foundation, Pease Park Conservancy, Waterloo Greenway and others. This section will detail concession revenue for Zilker Park and event and other fee revenue. Events in Zilker are governed by city ordinances and practices that grew out of recommendations from the Parkland Events report in 2017.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 11, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: There are three related land use cases: The Neighborhood Plan Amendment, case NPA-2021- 0017.01 to change the FLUM from Commercial to Multi-family residential land use; case C14- 72-032(RCT), the request to terminate the Restrictive Covenant that established a 20 foot building setback on the LO-CO-NP zoned tract; and this request for MF-6-CO-NP zoning, case C14-2021-0044. 1 of 14B-6 C14-2021-0044 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Applicant seeks zoning to build 330 residential units on the 4.3881 acre (191,145 sq. ft.) parcel of land at 7113 and 7115 Burnet Road. The requested zoning is multi-family residence - highest density-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (MF-6-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The CO would establish a 20-foot building setback from the rear property line. Current Conditions The site is a commercial development with a parking lot fronting Burnet Road. Multiple buildings are set back more than 150 feet from the road. The largest tenant space is the bar closest to Burnet Road. The adjacent buildings are occupied by small businesses providing, for instance: driving instruction and martial arts coaching; coffee and kolaches; hair-cuts and massages. The site is auto oriented.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 7 CASE: C14-72-032 (RCT) – 7113 Burnet EXISTING ZONING: LO-CO-NP ADDRESS: 7113, 7115 Burnet Road SITE AREA: 1.1166 acres (48,638 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: CSW Cart, Inc., (Robert O’Farrell) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Michael J. Gaudini, Michael J. Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512)-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends granting a Termination of the Restrictive Covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 11, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021: RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES There are three related land use cases: The Neighborhood Plan Amendment, case NPA-2021- 0017.01 to change the FLUM from Commercial to Multi-family residential land use; The Rezoning case C14-2021-0044 requesting MF-6-CO-NP zoning; and this case requesting termination of the Restrictive Covenant that established a 20 foot building setback on the LO- CO-NP zoned tract; 1 of 5B-7 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards in the Austin Land Development Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office in 1973, Restrictive Covenants were used to provide an increased setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. The City has since changed to using a conditional overlay (CO) to make development standards more restrictive through the zoning ordinance instead of Restrictive Covenants. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “C”. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from SF-5 or more restrictive zoned land and it applies to the new building, the drive aisle and parking lots. There are also requirements for landscape buffering and screening (LDC 25-2-1066) in the area between multi-family buildings and buildings in the SF-5 or more restrictive districts. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Termination request. …

The original signatures have not been received so the percent calculation for the 200 foot buffer area have not been calculated yet.

South of this property is US HWY 290 right-of-way and is not zoned, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. 1 of 10B-12 C14-2021-0036 2 This site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. Project applications at the time of this report are subject to the SOS Ordinance that allows 25% impervious cover in the contributing zone, (see Environmental comments). The applicant is requesting GR district zoning to maintain the existing land use (service station) and to potentially provide additional access to US HWY 290 for neighboring properties. While this property is located within the boundaries of the Oakhill Combined Neighborhood Plan (West Oak Hill), it is not included in the neighborhood plan and does not have a designated use on the future land use map (FLUM). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. This property currently contains a service station and is located over the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. Rezoning this property to GR would allow the existing land use to continue and provide flexibility should the property redevelop. 2. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways. This property is currently only accessed from US HWY 290, a TxDot highway. Rezoning this property to GR would be consistent with …

LDC Reference: Chapter 25-2, Subchapter B, Division 5 1. 2. 2.3.1.A 2.3.1.B 3. 2.3.1.C HB: 4818-2128-2793.1 TIER ONE REQUIREMENTS- MINIMUM Subject Code Provision Description of How PUD Meets or Exceeds the Requirement Meet the objectives of the City Code The PUD meets the objectives of the City Code. Provide for development standards that achieve equal or greater consistency with the goals in Section 1.1 (General Intent) than development under the regulations in the Land Development Code. Section 1.1 states that "[t]his division provides the procedures and minimum requirements for a planned unit development zoning district to implement the goals of preserving the natural environment, encouraging high quality development and innovative design, and ensuring adequate public facilities and services. The PUD provides a total amount of open space that equals or exceeds 10 percent of the residential tracts, 15 percent of the industrial tracts, and 20 percent of the nonresidential tracts within the PUD, except that: 1. a detention or filtration area is excluded from the calculation unless it is designed and maintained as an amenity; and The PUD encourages high quality development, improved mobility and connectivity, and adequate public facilities. The PUD will allow for the realignment of Red River Street through the subject property such that Red River Street connects in a straight alignment from 15th Street to 13th Street rather than remaining in its current configuration. The PUD will also allow for the redevelopment of property that is currently mostly vacant and largely underutilized since the closure of Brackenridge Hospital. The PUD requests waiver of this provision. The PUD will comply with the non-PUD open space requirements of the City Code. Additionally, PUD approval will result in the enhancement of nearby open space, since it will allow the City to close the ROW that is currently used as Red River Street and add it to the public amenities being developed in Waterloo Park. 4. 2.3.1.D 5. 2.3.1.E Provide a two-star Austin Energy Green Building rating The PUD development will earn a minimum two- star Austin Energy Green Building rating. 2. the required percentage of open space may be reduced for urban property with characteristics that make open space infeasible if other community benefits are provided Be consistent with applicable neighborhood plans, neighborhood conservation combining district regulations, historic area and landmark regulations, and compatible with adjacent property and land uses Consistency with Neighborhood Plan The property is located in …
Our concerns regarding a park between Senate Hills and new construction on adjacent property are numerous. These are a few: 5. 6. 1. 2. 4. 3. We will have a park as big as Zilker Park across the street in less than 2 years with concert space, children’s activities and playscapes, hiking, biking, and nature stations. It will be right across the street from developments; no need to have additional park between developments and all the problems it will bring to our neighborhood. Proposed park will be too small for the number of people living at the two adjacent multi-family developments. Proximity of a pavilion to properties on Tower St. It will increase noise, safety concerns and will infringe on privacy. Proximity of charcoal grills to residents on Tower, which will be a fire hazard and health hazard. How will access be monitored? This poses a MAJOR safety and crime concerns. We are not clear on how it will be maintained or how crime and violations will be monitored and handled. Austin Police Officer Andrew Kos confirmed on NextDoor app, APD cannot remove homeless individuals and will be allowed to camp in a public park. Remember, this park supposedly is between multifamily developments! Proximity of a children’s playscape to residents on Tower. There goes the quiet neighborhood! Proximity of a Half Way House on Connally Ln. with a history of overdoses, drug use in common spaces, open area sexual activity, and trespassing. This poses safety concerns. Private streets in new development, compared to Senate Hills’ public streets and thus creating parking issues, is a problem. The new subdivision will be already using the entrance to Senate Hills, so more congestion will occur in and out of our subdivision. Increased noise in close proximity to residents on Tower, Connally, and 10. Rayburn. Why is HOA President, Mr. Andy Creel, submitting the application instead of the developer/contractor as in original contract? Contract seems different than originally presented which many residents did not want to support? Submission is odd; timing is odd. Even developers changed as original developer went bankrupt. We really don’t need or want a park! 7. 11. 8. 9.
