M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and Council Members THROUGH: Veronica Briseño, Assistant City Manager FROM: José G. Roig, Development Services Director Chief Joel Baker, Aus�n Fire Chief Chief Robert Luckritz, EMS Chief, Aus�n Travis County EMS DATE: June 26, 2024 SUBJECT: Resolu�on No. 20240502-094 Staff Update - Single Stairway Provisions for Mul�family Developments Up to Five-Stories We want to provide all of you with a mul�-departmental recommenda�on on Resolu�on No. 20240502-094 which proposes an amendment to the 2024 Interna�onal Building Code (IBC) allowing a single stairway for mul�family developments up to five stories. Technical code and first responder experts from the Development Services Department (DSD), Aus�n Fire Department (AFD), and Aus�n/Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS) reviewed Aus�n’s single stairway amendment and found significant poten�al safety risks to occupants and first responders were we to amend the Code. As a result, staff recommends that the City of Aus�n con�nue to allow the model na�onal codes to set minimum standards for construc�on in Aus�n, thereby maintaining two means of egress for mul�family developments. Safety Concerns Construc�ng a single stairway --as opposed to two separate stairways-- for a five-story building poses escape hazards for occupants during fire, ac�ve shooter, severe weather, or large-scale emergencies. The following points highlight primary safety concerns: • Occupant Risk Considera�ons – Fire-loss data, some�mes cited by proponents of single stairway design, suggests that such an approach poses a low risk to occupants. While the probability of a fire is low, the consequences of a fire with a single stairway design make this an inherent risk. The na�onal standard set in the model code manda�ng two staircases reflects the increased likelihood of significant injury and mass casual�es in limi�ng occupants to a single exit in the event of a fire or other emergency. • Subject Mater Expert Findings – A na�onal proposal to permit mid-rise buildings to be served by a single exit stairway was reviewed and overwhelmingly rejected by the Interna�onal Code Page 1 of 4 Council (ICC) Technical Commitee, ci�ng tes�mony from many na�onal safety experts about the dangers it would pose to occupants and first responders. • Hindered Evacua�on Tac�cs – AFD employs evacua�on tac�cs by designa�ng one stairwell for evacua�on and the second stairwell for firefigh�ng opera�ons. Elimina�ng a stairwell may lead to unsafe exposure of fire condi�ons to occupants and cause counterflow and conges�on with occupants …

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: August 9, 2024 Aditya Jatar, P.E., BOE Consulting Services Danielle Morin AICP., Julie Apagya Bonney Transportation and Public Works Department Oak Creek Village Zoning Transportation Analysis (ZTA) Final Memo (C14-2023-0047) The Transportation & Public Works Department (TPW) has reviewed the June 27, 2024 “Oak Creek Village” Zoning Transportation Analysis, prepared by BOE Consulting Services. The proposed site includes a Mid-Rise Multi-Family Housing development with 495 dwelling units, located at 2302 Durwood Street in Austin, 78704, Texas (see Figure 1 below). The project will be constructed in two phases and is anticipated to be completed by 2026. To facilitate access to the surrounding roadway network, the development proposes two driveways: Driveway A (existing) on Durwood Street and Driveway B (new) on South 1st Street. These access points are depicted in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Site Location Adjacent Roadway Characteristics: The site will connect to West Oltorf Street and South 1st Street. Below is a summary of the current conditions around the site: Durwood Street: Classified as a Level 1 road in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), requiring 64 feet of right-of-way (ROW). Currently, Durwood Street has 46 feet of ROW, with unmarked travel lanes, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on both sides. In 2024, the average daily traffic (ADT) on Durwood Street was about 1,200 vehicles per day. Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis: Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), the development is expected to generate 1,717 net new daily trips (unadjusted), with 158 trips during the AM peak hour and 140 trips during the PM peak hour (See Table 1 for details). Table 1: Trip Generation The 2024 ADT was estimated using traffic count data, with a 2% annual growth factor applied to project the 2026 volumes. Table 2 shows both current and projected volumes on nearby road segments. Table 2 Projected Volume Analysis The analysis indicates that the unadjusted site traffic, combined with the forecasted volume at full build-out, will exceed the typical ADT range for Durwood Street but remain within the necessary limits. A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan was not required as the trip count did not exceed the 2,000-trip threshold. Additionally, evaluations of ROW for adjacent roads, turn lanes for all driveways, and sight distance for the proposed new driveways were conducted. Recommendations/Conclusions: As a condition for approval for the above referenced zoning review case, …

Because of the new DB-90 compatibility changes, this development will have a huge negative effect on the single family homes and the neighborhood adjoining the development, including a massive decrease in property values. Skyview is a 1950’s established Austin neighborhood. The residents of this lovely, diverse community are a blend of ethnicity, ages, occupations, incomes, families and singles, and owners and renters. We request that you give us equal consideration as to these zoning changes, especially in how the DB-90 compatibility changes will impact our single family homes and neighborhoods.

Please note that the Contact Team’s support is specific to this case and does not establish a precedent for any future zoning change requests. We agree with the requesters’ argument that the change will not disrupt the character or appearance of the neighborhood. Granting this change will allow OTX Designs to configure their building appropriately for office use, enabling them to occupy the building productively long-term. We ask the Planning Commission to support this request and approve the requested zoning change. Thank you for your time and service to our city.

We are unsatisfied with the results of the sound study provided by Austin Pickleball Ranch and are in the process of contracting a sound study by a national pickleball acoustical engineering firm Pickleball Sound Mitigation. (https://pickleballsound.com/) They have given us a time frame for a deliverable study around the week of August 25th and we would need time to assess their findings and discuss the results with them. Also, Mr. Unetich or Mr. Van Scoyk will be calling in to the Planning Commission hearing to speak on OWANA's behalf. 2. We have been patient with the applicant's response to our requests and have unfortunately spent an inordinate amount of time discussing pickleball noise and lighting remediation. The tenant, Austin Pickleball Ranch, was not only slow to respond to requests for action, they were operating illegally without proper zoning or obtaining a building permit. Permitting would …

Via Electronic Submittal Lauren Middleton-Pratt City of Austin Planning and Housing Department 1000 E 11th St. Austin, TX 78702 Dear Mrs. Middleton-Pratt: Re: Rezoning request for 4705 & 4505 Menchaca Rd (Revised); TCAD Parcel 509246 (the “Property”) As representatives of the owner of the above stated Property, we respectfully submit an application for rezoning. The Property is located at 4507 & 4505 Menchaca Rd and is currently undeveloped. We are requesting to rezone the Property from Limited Office-Neighborhood Plan (LO-NP) to Neighborhood Commercial-Neighborhood Plan (LR-NP) . The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for the development of a coffee shop. The original request was for a coffee shop with an accessory drive-thru facility. After discussion with staff and the community, we have chosen not to pursue a zoning which allows for a drive-thru use by-right. A drive-thru facility is not permitted by right in the requested LR district. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a public hearing process would be required to permit a drive-thru use in LR. The Property is within the South Manchaca Neighborhood Plan and designates this site as “Neighborhood Node”. As the proposed zoning aligns with the “Neighborhood Node”, a Future Land Use Map amendment is not required. The surrounding zoning is SF-3-NP to the east and west, LO-NP to the south, and LR-V-NP to the north. The surrounding uses are restaurants and commercial to the north, residential to the east, religious assembly to the south, and educational centers to the west. If you have any questions regarding this request or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Very truly yours, Amanda Couch Brown
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 TO: LR- NP CASE: C14-2024-0023– 4507 Menchaca Rezoning ADDRESS: 4505, 4507, 4507 ½ Menchaca Road ZONING FROM: LO-NP SITE AREA: 0.67 acres PROPERTY OWNER: JBHR Project 16 LP (Nic Andreani) AGENT: HD Brown Consulting (Amanda C. Brown) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial –neighborhood plan (LR-NP) combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The project proposes a coffee shop with drive through. In the LR zoning district, this coffee shop use (Limited Restaurant) would be principally permitted. The drive through component requires additional and separate review and approval; a drive-through as accessory use to a Limited Restaurant in the LR base zoning district requires a Conditional Use permit. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 0.67 acres and is undeveloped. The rezoning area is situated at the east side of Menchaca Boulevard, approximately 840 feet south of its intersection with Ben White Boulevard. Development along this portion of Menchaca transitions from more intense commercial along Ben White Boulevard southward to more neighborhood and community-based zoning and uses, including Restaurant – Limited, Administrative and Business office and Religious facility uses. To the east is single family C14-2024-0023 Page 2 residential use, and across Menchaca Road to the west is AISD Joslin Elementary school (LR-V-NP; LO-NP; SF-3-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). The site is within the Lamar and Ben White Activity Center, as identified in Imagine Austin comprehensive plan. The activity centers identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Menchaca Road is a level 3 mobility corridor. The site is 0.15 miles to Ben White Boulevard, and is located one parcel away from Cap Metro bus stop with routes 3 (local) and 103 (flyer, with limited stop access to downtown and UT). The Applicant proposes to rezone the property to neighborhood commercial – neighborhood plan (LR- NP) district for a development to include an approximately 670-square foot coffee shop (Restaurant – Limited use) with associated drive through (an accessory use which requires a Conditional Use permit to proceed). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. 3. The Neighborhood Commercial (LR) district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited …
August 9, 2024 City of Austin Planning Commission Attn: Nicole Corona 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 Cc: Marcelle Boudreaux Re: C14-2024-0023 – Zoning Change Request for 4507 Menchaca Rd. Dear Ms. Corona: I am writing on behalf of the South Menchaca Neighborhood Plan Contact Team to express opposition to a requested zoning change at 4507 Menchaca Road. Our contact team met with the applicant’s representative on April 30, 2024, to discuss the request. We have since met with other neighbors and talked with some parents of children who attend Joslin Elementary, which is directly across Menchaca from the property. As a result of these discussions, we have voted unanimously to oppose the change from LO-NP to LR-NP. Please note that we have no objection to a coffee shop on this property; what we are opposed to is a drive-through coffeeshop, in a school zone, near a very busy intersection that students in our neighborhood must cross to get to or from the school. Our understanding is that the zoning change is needed in order to allow the drive-through. As the attached diagram illustrates, the entrance/exit to this proposed drive-through would be directly between the two drop-off spots for Joslin: one just south, on Menchaca, and the other just north, on Redd. Scores of students and their families use the sidewalk in front of this property every weekday morning to reach the intersection at Redd, where there is a crossing guard. Other pedestrians use this sidewalk to access the Capital Metro bus stops on Redd and Menchaca at the same intersection. A drive-through at this location would turn that section of sidewalk into an obstacle course for pedestrians, as they attempt to navigate sidewalks that cars are repeatedly crossing in both directions as they enter and exit the drive-through. A coffeeshop can be expected to be busiest in the morning, and in fact the developer has told us they expect the business will be dependent on commuter traffic. This is precisely the time when children are using the sidewalk to get to school. Moreover, drive-through users would be distracted by the heavy traffic on Menchaca during the morning hours. Traffic on this section of road, which is immediately south of the Menchaca/Hwy 71-BenWhite intersection, is always backed up during the morning commute, and northbound drivers already face multiple distractions and hazards as they attempt to change lanes to turn …
GOVALLE/JOHNSTON TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CONTACT TEAM “Strength Through Unity” August 7, 2024 The Govalle/Johnston Terrace Neighborhood Plan Contact Team continues to oppose the DB90 zoning category proposals to include the new iteration proposing to “conserve and create” live music and creative space bonuses in exchange for degradation of our neighborhoods. In particular, we oppose the conditions that allow developers to pay a fee in-lieu of providing affordable housing on site, adding 30 feet of to the maximum base zoning in areas not designated as opportunity corridors, and the exemptions from minimum site area requirements, maximum building coverage, minimum side, interior yard, and front yard setbacks. We also oppose the modifications and exemptions to set compatibility standards, conditional overlays, and restrictive covenants. We continue to request and support a moratorium on DB-90 until a review of cumulative impacts can be conducted including impacts to the city’s commitment to anti-displacement measures, community-wide benefits, the natural environment of affected neighborhoods, and strain on utilities and natural resources.
