Azar – 1st; J. Shieh – 2nd] Vote: 11-0 [Two vacancies]. 1 of 51B-1 ACTION: CITY COUNCIL DATE: May 6, 2021 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To grant the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing an affordable housing multifamily development and is requesting a change in the future land use map from Civic to Multifamily. Staff recommends the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use because the property in located in an area with multifamily zoning directly to the north and east of the property. The East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan future land use map does not have a land use designation on the properties surrounding the site with multifamily zoning. These properties were removed from the future land use map during the neighborhood planning process with the intent to revisit them in the future. The properties without a land use designation are primarily zoned multifamily and commercial. The neighborhood plan document supports affordable housing, although it specifies for only specific properties in the planning area. Staff believes the City’s need for affordable housing should be broadened to meet the affordable housing needs of the City. Future Lane Use Map 2 2 of 51B-1 Zoning Map 3 3 of 51B-1 4 4 of 51B-1 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Civic - Any site for public or semi fire facilities, hospitals, and public and private schools.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 6, 2021 To be Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES This rezoning case has been approved to participate in the City’s S.M.A.R.T. (Safe, Mixed- Income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-Oriented) Housing expedited review program, please see Exhibit C: SMART Housing Letter.

For all written or emailed comments, please see Exhibit D: Correspondence Received. 1 of 34B-2 C14-2021-0008.SH 2 On March 1, 2021 staff received a petition in opposition to this rezoning case. The current percentage for this petition is 33.01%, making this a valid petition. The petition, a map and list of property owners within the petition area and signatures received to date are included in Exhibit E: Formal Petition. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 7.82 acres and is located on the eastside of Parker Lane. It is currently zoned SF-3-NP and is occupied by the Ward Memorial United Methodist Church. Adjacent to the north of this property is a tract zoned MF-2 and to the east are tracts zoned MF-3 and GR. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned SF-3-NP. Across Parker Lane to the west are tracts zoned MF-3-NP, SF-6-NP and SF-3-NP, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. The Ward Memorial United Methodist Church has a designated Texas Historical Marker. Should redevelopment occur on this site, the demolition review process for this building would depend on the property ownership. A change to the State law made during the last legislative session precludes landmark designation of property owned by a religious organization without the owner’s consent. If a demolition permit is requested from a religious organization, staff would brief the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 4 TO: SF-4A-NP CASE: C14-2021-0005.SH ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP ADDRESS: 1021 East St. Johns Avenue SITE AREA: 0.29 acres (12669.80 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Talia at E St Johns LLC (Kenda Dawwami) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to SF-4A-NP. AGENT: Civilitude LLC (Conor Kenny) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 13, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 6, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 9B-4 C14-2021-0005.SH 2 ISSUES: The proposed rezoning would allow construction of 8 detached single family units. The applicant proposes that four of these units will be sold to households at or below 80% Median Family Income (MFI). As a SMART Housing project, the units would be subject to a minimum 5-year affordability period after issuance of a certificate of occupancy, unless funding requirements are longer. Please see Exhibit C- SMART Housing Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is located at the southwest corner of Providence Avenue and St Johns Avenue, roughly midway between IH 35 and Cameron Road. The undeveloped property is zoned SF-3-NP and is surrounded by single family and duplex properties in all directions for several blocks. Further to the west, past Bennet Avenue and closer to IH 35, are commercial properties with a mix of zoning designations ranging from LR-MU-CO-NP to LI-CO-NP. These properties include a pharmacy, fast food restaurants, limited warehousing and distribution, congregate living, and medical offices. To the east, closer to Cameron Road, are properties zoned MF-3-NP and GR-MU-CO-NP with land uses including multifamily residential, general retail sales (limited), fast food restaurants, food sales and more. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the applicant’s request of SF-4A-NP. This would allow development of 8 detached single family residences on a .26 acre lot that currently only allows 2 residential units. This would provide alternative housing types in the predominately single family area. As a SMART Housing development, the property would allow households earning below 80% MFI to achieve homeownership in an area with a mix of housing types and commercial services. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council …
