CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the east side of Sprinkle Cutoff Road approximately 500 feet north of Samsung Boulevard. The I-RR zoned property is undeveloped and heavily vegetated. Properties to the north, east and south are primarily developed with single family residences and are zoned I-SF-2 and PUD (Pioneer Crossing). Across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west is undeveloped property zoned SF-6. Further west is property zoned I-RR that is developed with single family residences. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request to SF-6. The property across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west was rezoned from I-RR to SF-6 in 2017 and other properties in the area are zoned for and developed with single family residences. Granting SF-6 zoning on this tract reflects an equal treatment as the property across the road. Granting of SF-6 zoning also provides the opportunity for a variety of housing types in the area. This reflects the goals and objectives of City Council as outlined in the Strategic Housing Blueprint. Staff has received correspondence regarding the zoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council.

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This house would have contributed to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the State Board of Review for the National Register of Historic Places in September 2021. For further information, see the draft nomination at https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/national register/ draft nominations/Austin%2C%20Air%20Conditioned%20Village%20SBR.pdf. Due to owner opposition to the creation of the district, the nomination failed to move forward. However, this setback does not reflect on the significance of Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village experiment, and the Chrysler Air-Temp House is one of the best-preserved examples of the houses built and studied. Excerpts from the nomination are incorporated herein as relevant for context. This case initially came before the Historic Landmark Commission in June 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. This proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials …

PART 2. The Property within the boundaries of the conditional overlay combining district established by this ordinance is subject to the following conditions: A.

Zoning and Platting Commission March 29, 2022 Q & A Report Item B-02 Commissioner Denkler / Staff Response in red. How many units is the applicant proposing? Per the application, the applicant is proposing 185 condominium units. Are there any COA plans for improving Sprinkle Cutoff? From ATD: Sprinkle Cutoff Road is slated for widening and improvements through the Street Impact Fund. It is likely to be completely funded within the next 5-10 years. What's your rough guess regarding the number of units if it was SF-4 or SF-5? (What is the appreciable difference between SF-5 or SF-6, by the way!) I really can’t estimate. COA site development standards do not have a maximum number of units per acre for these 3 categories. I can say that SF-4 and SF-5 require public streets to be platted while SF-6 allows driveways. The size and design requirements for streets are greater than required for driveways. SF-4 and SF-5 also have specific development regulations for each lot making it hard to lay out a SF-1, 2,3, 4, 5 subdivision since these categories do not allow clustering of units on 1 parcel. What kind of residential the applicant is proposing? Townhomes, etc Their application says condominium but doesn’t specify if they are attached, detached, etc.

TO: L A W D E P A R T M E N T M E M O R A N D U M ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION FROM: PATRICIA LINK, DIVISION CHIEF, LAND USE AND REAL ESTATE DATE: MARCH 28, 2022 SUBJECT: C14-2018-0124 –RIVER PLACE (MILKY WAY) ZONING & RESTRICTIVE COVENANT This memorandum concerns the neighborhood traffic analysis (NTA) referenced in a public restrictive covenant (RC) associated with Zoning Case C14-2018-0124 for property located on Milky Way Drive (Milky Way). In 2020, City staff and the property owner recorded an affidavit to correct the date of the NTA referenced in the RC. As explained below, this action did not amend or terminate the RC and Council approval was not required. SUMMARY OF THE ZONING CASE HISTORY AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ACTIONS In 2018, the property owner (applicant) applied to rezone the property from development reserve (DR) to single family residence large lot-conditional overlay (SF-1-CO). City staff conducted an NTA based on the applicant’s request (Original NTA). The Commission forwarded the request to Council without a recommendation. Before Council considered the case, the applicant amended the rezoning request from SF-1-CO to townhouse and condominium residence-conditional overlay (SF-6-CO). The Commission considered the amended request and forwarded it to Council without a recommendation. After the Commission considered the amended request, City staff revised the Original NTA based on the amended rezoning application (Revised NTA) and included the Revised NTA in Council’s backup materials. Because SF-6-CO was the request presented to Council, the Revised NTA is the controlling NTA. At third reading, Council rezoned the property to SF-6-CO. The applicant signed a RC related to the NTA.1 This RC was recorded in the real property records. See Exhibit A. Subsequently, the applicant notified City staff that the RC did not reference the correct NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). City staff confirmed that the RC included an error because it referenced the Original NTA, not the controlling NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). A correction document does not amend or terminate an existing recorded document but, instead, preserves the validity of the recorded document while still ensuring accurate official records. State law establishes the requirements for correction documents. To correct the date of the NTA, the City and the applicant signed and recorded a correction affidavit. See Exhibit B. The correction affidavit met the requirements in state law and, as a result, does not amend or terminate the …

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION African American Resource Advisory Commission Recommendation Number: 20220330-001: Equitable Funding and Completion for the George Washington Carver Library Museum and Heritage Center WHEREAS, the African American Resource Advisory Commission (the "Commission") is authorized by Austin City Code§ 2-1-101 to advise the City Council on issues related to the quality of life for the City's African American community; and WHEREAS, the Commission is specifically authorized to recommend programs designed to alleviate any inequities that may confront African Americans in social, economic, and vocational pursuits, including (1) health care; (2) housing, including affordable housing, home ownership, and homelessness; (3) entertainment opportunities for professionals and students; (4) employment; and (5) cultural venues, including museums, theaters, art galleries, and music venues; and WHEREAS, the George Washington Carver Library Museum and Heritage Center continues to be historically underfunded when compared to the Asian American resource Center (AARC) ($100K to $200K less) and the Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC) (~$400K less).
