ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0063 – Pier Property Rezoning DISTRICT: 10 ZONING FROM: CS-1, LA ADDRESS: 1703 River Hills Road SITE AREA: 0.096 acres (4181.76 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Tires Made Easy, Inc (Andrew S. Price) TO: CR AGENT: Husch Blackwell, LLP, (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant commercial recreation (CR) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: Planning to schedule for September 17, 2020 August 18, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There is no new development proposed for the subject property. The requested CR zoning is required to repair the existing marina. There is a Travis County water district with a water intake nearby. Through their legal counsel, they expressed their concern about the proximity of the marina. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is addressed as 1703 River Hills Road. Currently there are no occupied structures or operating businesses on the 4.465 acre property. 1 of 9B-031 of 9 C14-2020-0063 2 The subject riverside and woodland property is surveyed as 4.465 acres (approximately 194,495 square feet) with approximately 212 feet of Lake Austin frontage. The requested rezoning tract is for the footprint of the existing marina (about 4,181 square feet). The marina was built to serve a restaurant that operated on the property but closed prior to 2006. The existing commercial-liquor sales (CS-1) zoning permits the bar/restaurant use as a primary land use and the Land Development Code allows a marina as an accessory use to a restaurant. Since the restaurant is not in operation, the marina becomes the primary use. The applicant stated that there are 20 boat slips and that they intend to reconstruct them in the same location. The requested commercial recreation (CR) zoning district allows a commercial marina as a primary use. An Austin Code Enforcement Official inspected the marina and determined that the boat slips may be unsafe and require repairs. The applicants responded to the enforcement notice and applied for permits to make the required repairs. The permits were denied because the marina does not have the correct zoning. The applicants indicate that they plan to remove all dangerous structures and make repairs when they can get permits to do so. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with …

You can NOT have a "free" park or fields open to the public with locked gates. And on event days how do to separate park people from event people. You can't. Will not happen. 2) When FEMA changed/enlarged the flood plain, it now comes up, or close to the track. These mythical buildings would be in the flood plain, causing MORE down stream flooding then they have already been causing. COTA is not disclosing this to the 2 downstream neighborhoods effected. 1 or 2 new retention ponds will not stop the water pouring off a 170 ft hill.

A 6 story hotel on Elroy Road, a long way from Highway 71 traffic flow, would be looking at bankruptcy with low to empty occupancy, except 2 major events a year.

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report 5. Zoning: C814-2018-0122 - Circuit of the Americas PUD; District 2 Question: Commissioner Aguirre 1. In regards to Affordable Housing, what is the proposed estimated amount expected for the fee in lieu donation per the 2.5.6 Development Bonus? Response: It is not possible to provide an accurate estimate since the fee-in-lieu will be calculated as individual site plans are submitted. Once a site plan is submitted the fee will be calculated based on the current fee rate (which is updated on a yearly basis) multiplied by the bonus square footage of that particular site plan ( which is the square footage above what would have been possible under the baseline CS zoning). 2. It is implied, but need to clarify if the Atlas 14 requirements will be met? Atlas 14 requirements will be met 3. Part 1 of the Backup (p. 13; 2nd paragraph), states, "Applicant has acknowledged no deviations are being requested, and no superior is being proposed for drainage purposes. The requirements of t place at the time of future applications will apply. No further comment." Please clarify. 4. Where are the waste water lines going to be located? Response: The location of the water and wastewater lines will be determined during the Site Plan review process. 5. The Water Quality/Environmental Item (p. 20), under the PUD Proposal/Superiority Column, refers to the Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM). Does IPM prohibit the use of toxic chemicals? Yes, it is a management plan for pesticides based on landscape and features on site. The Open Space/Parkland Item (p. 21), under the PUD Proposal/Superiority Column, refers to 10% above minimum with private and public open space. Of the 10%, what percentage of the open space will be public? Private? Response: Applicant is meeting more than 10% above in terms of Public Park acreage – 9.71 credited acres dedicated vs. 7.81 acres required. In addition, the applicant is building trails which will not be dedicated parkland (therefore private), and these will be outside of PARD’s jurisdiction. 6. Will Adult Oriented Business be included as a prohibited land use? Response: Yes, the applicant has stated that Adult Oriented Businesses will be prohibited in the PUD. The staff will read this information into the record at the Zoning and Platting Commission meeting. 7. In regards to public safety: a. Will WPD work with the applicant to incorporate …

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAVE HISTORIC MUNY DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN TO MANAGE AND OPERATE THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONCESSION AT LIONS MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE Agreement Overview The City operates the Lions Municipal Golf Course (Lions), located at 2901 Enfield Road, through a lease agreement, a component of the Brackenridge Development Agreement between The University of Texas System (UT System) and the City. The status of Lions Municipal Golf Course, a golf course with historical importance, is uncertain. Save Historic Muny District (SHMD) was created by the Texas Legislature in June 2019 to preserve the 141.35 acres as a public golf course and publicly available parkland. While UT System considers various options for the future of the property, SHMD and the City are collaborating to preserve the property as the Lions Municipal Golf Course in perpetuity. As part of that collaboration, the City wishes to permit the SHMD to manage and operate the food and beverage concession at Lions. The agreement with the previous food concessionaire at Lions terminated in May, and because the City's lease with the University is month to month, a new solicitation was not conducted. Currently, food services are being offered by a temporary food truck. What is the Purpose of the Agreement? This is an interlocal agreement between the City of Austin and the Save Historic Muny District to allow SHMD to operate and manage the food and beverage concession at Lions Municipal Golf Course. What is the Term of the Agreement? The term of this agreement shall run congruent to the current golf course operating lease agreement with UT System and the City. The current lease agreement is a month-to- month agreement with five (5) months minimum notification of termination. This agreement will continue until the lease is terminated, the golf course is sold, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.
