FOUNDATION COMMUNITIES LEARNING CENTER @ PARKER APARTMENTS 2105 PARKER LANE, AUSTIN, TX Foundation Communities (FC) currently operates 14 “Learning Centers” around Austin and North Texas that serve a wide range of both resident and neighborhood needs. Each Learning Center is staffed by a full‐time, on‐site Learning Center Manager, who is supported by several part‐time on‐site positions and a wide breadth and depth of other Foundation Communities’ colleagues and volunteers from our Education, Health Initiatives, and Volunteer Engagement programs, as well as a variety of FC partner agencies Typical FC Services at Parker Lane FC’s plan for 2105 Parker Lane includes both a new affordable housing community, as well as a robust Learning Center that will serve both FC residents and neighbors alike. At this location, we expect to offer typical FC services programming, delivered by our staff and available on‐site for free to surrounding neighbors, including: Weekly fitness classes, with both in person and virtual options (i.e. yoga, meditation, Zumba) Healthy food pantry, offered twice per month Various nutrition education programs, offered Annual health fair, including vaccinations, blood quarterly pressure checks, etc. As we do at our existing Learning Centers, FC also intends to complement our own services at Parker Lane with a variety of free programs offered by long‐standing partners, which may include: Parenting classes with Any Baby Can and/or Mama Sana Fresh produce boxes through the Sustainable Food Center Public health support through Austin Public Health Additionally, at this site, we will offer our large, robust after school and summer youth programs.

Special Partnerships and Services at Parker Lane We know that this site housed valued nonprofits in the past, and we are hoping to continue as many of the previous uses as possible. We are in discussions with Meals on Wheels and plan to continue their use of the site as a distribution center, if that is still a need. We are also exploring a partnership with the Wesley Nurse Program, as we have done at other FC locations. Part of our agreement with the United Methodist Church is that we will provide UMC with new office space, which they in turn expect to utilize for a variety of mission‐oriented activities. This …

We look forward to having the case considered on April 13, 2021. The property was originally acquired by St. Andrew’s in 2012 as part of a larger parcel. After going through a master planning exercise, the school determined that the parcel was too far from its current Upper School facilities to be walkable. As a result in 2017, the school conveyed the property to the Rawson Sanders school. However, Rawson Sanders changed its plans for the parcel and, under the terms of that agreement, the property came back to St. Andrew’s in 2020. The property is currently zoned MF‐1, identified as “multi‐family” on the Oak Hill FLUM and is subject the SOS Ordinance and its 20% impervious cover requirements. The presence of trees, environmental features and low impervious cover means that only a portion of this 15 acre tract will be developed. The current MF‐1 zoning only allows 40 feet in height. In order to get even a low to moderate amount of density on the parcel given the application of current environmental regulations, we have requested a zoning change to MF‐4, which would allow this 15‐acre parcel to yield up to 20 units per acre. The MF‐4 is limited to the 15 acre parcel along Vega and the remainder of property adjacent to the Oak Park neighborhood will remain MF‐1. City staff has recommended the MF‐4 zoning. There is ample MF‐4, GR and CS zoning located in this area very near the property. The MF‐4 zoning is needed to get to a reasonable 4‐stories on the property. The MF‐4 zoning will not result in increased environmental or storm water runoff impacts since the 20% impervious cover would apply to both MF‐1 and MF‐4. In …

The school is selling a portion of its property (bordered by Patton Ranch Road, School Road, and Vega Avenue) for dense residential development. The property (hereafter referred to as the parcel in question) is currently zoned for Limited Density (MF-1-NP). St. Andrews School has requested that the zoning be revised to MF-4-NP to allow for construction of a 295-unit apartment development. We, the Oak Park Subdivision Association Executive Committee, represent affected property owners. We have substantial concerns regarding the proposed rezoning for the following reasons: 1. SAS has provided no planning proposal to the Oak Park Subdivision. 2. This rezoning request contradicts the existing Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan. 3. Existing flooding risks will grow. 4. Excessive traffic congestion and safety concerns are likely. 5. Further overcrowding of Oak Hill Elementary School is likely. No educational impact study has been conducted. 6. Environmental impact of the planned development has not been assessed. 7. Historic Landmark buildings on the parcel in question are in peril. See discussion of each reason below. 1. SAS has provided no planning proposal to the Oak Park Subdivision. In the past, the Oak Park Subdivision Association Executive Committee has communicated closely with SAS about several issues, including flooding and flood mitigation, the Harper Park Subdivision, and the sale and rezoning of the parcel in question to Rawson-Saunders School, which was sold back to SAS and on which this development is now proposed to be built. Rezoning to MF-4-NP greatly impacts our community, but SAS did not communicate with us. We heard belatedly from the Oak Hill Neighborhood Association about these plans. We have not been provided any plans, maps, conceptual designs, schematics, or other data. 2. This rezoning request contradicts our existing Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan.

My name is Melinda Barsales and I live at 4114 East 12th Street in a home built in 1964 original to this area of East Austin. I am writing to the Planning Commission today to express my concerns regarding Zoning Case C14-2020-0089, Twelfth and Springdale Residences, Item 6 on today’s agenda. Not only do I believe the zoning change from GR-MU-NP to GR-MU-V-NP is unnecessary, but due to this tract’s proximity to the historic African-American burial ground of Bethany Cemetery, I strongly believe that a downzoning of this tract should be proposed. The Martin Luther King Neighborhood Association is currently in the process of collecting signatures for a valid petition for this case. I have been made aware that the signature of the representative for Bethany Cemetery, Ms. Sue Spears, will not be considered valid unless we can furnish written proof that she has been given authority on such matters from the property owners in spite of the fact that her name appears on the TCAD for the cemetery, that notice of the proposed rezoning was sent care of Ms. Spears, and that City contractors, Davey Resource Group, sought out her consent for a vegetation work plan on the cemetery’s grounds. Ownership of the property at 1308 Springdale Road was transferred to the Bethany Cemetery Association in 1976. The members are now all deceased and the association defunct. Ms. Spears, who grew up in this neighborhood and attended Sims Elementary across the street from the cemetery, has been the steward for this neglected burial ground and was instrumental in securing historic status for the site. Through her dedication to the cemetery she facilitated a program for maintenance of the grounds through the Travis County Sheriff’s SWAP program. Due to the undetermined status of ownership for the cemetery, I strongly encourage the Planning Commission to postpone making any recommendation in this case until it is determined who has the authority to speak for its deceased owners and those interred on its grounds.

PROPERTY OWNER: Factor Real Estate LLC (Alvin Morin) AGENT: Permit Solutions LLC (Jennifer Smith) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends CS-1, Commercial-Liquor Sales District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 20, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 24B-6 C14-2021-0024 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 0.037 acre vacant parcel of land l ocated at the southeast corner of Tech Ridge Boulevard and East Yager Lane. Surrounding land uses includes undeveloped land directly to the north and an industrial/office campus to the northeast (Dell Parmer South Campus), across Tech Ridge Boulevard. To the south, there is a developing hotel/ motel use and multifamily complex (Atrium at Tech Ridge). The lot to the east contains a hotel/motel use (Townplace Suites). The tract of land to the west is undeveloped. The applicant is requesting a 1,625 sq. ft. fo otprint of CS-1 zoning to develop a liquor store. The property is part of a larger site with an approved site plan for a gas station/convenience store, drive in/fast food restaurant (see SP-2 018-0086C – Exhibit C). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Commercial-Liquor Sales district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The CS-1 zoning district would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site. A 1,625 sq. ft. footprint of CS-1 zoning is appropriate at this location as it will be part of a larger retail/restaurant development at the corner of a major intersection. It is consistent with surrounding land uses because of the commercial character of the area. The proposed rezoning will allow for additional retail uses to provide services to the industrial campus to the northeast and to the multifamily use to the south. 3. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. This …
