C14-2019-0138 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2019-0138 – Block 190 DISTRICT: 9 ZONING FROM: CBD-CURE ADDRESS: 97 Red River; 604 Driskill Street; 701, 705 East Cesar Chavez Street PROPERTY OWNER: Waller Creek Owners, LLC (Tony Curp) TO: CBD-CURE with a change to a condition of zoning. SITE AREA: 1.3968 acres AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham 512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant central business district-central urban redevelopment (CBD-CURE) combining district with a change in a condition of zoning. The change is to clarify that the subject property is eligible to apply for the Downtown Density Bonus Program (DDBP) for a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) exceeding 10:1. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. Small Area Planning Joint Committee The Small Area Planning Joint Committee reviewed the Block 190 case on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 and approved a motion: Motion by Hempel, 2nd by Thompson, to adopt staff recommendation for approval of CBD‐ CURE zoning with eligibility to apply for Downtown Density Bonus Program for a Floor Area Ratio exceeding 10:1. Motion approved on a 6‐0 vote, with Howard absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 25, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 12, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS While the subject 1.4 acre (60,844 square foot) tract, locally known as 97 Red River Street, currently provides parking in the Rainey Street District, the applicant seeks zoning for an office or hotel building that with density bonuses could exceed 900,000 square feet. The rezoning application also lists a mix of accessory uses including a grocery and other retail and restaurant tenants. B-091 of 12 C14-2019-0138 2 Although the current zoning on the property provides Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 10:1, the owner requests the right to seek the 15:1 FAR. The higher limit is available in the Rainy Street District of the Waterfront Overlay through the Downtown Density Bonus Program. The proposed rezoning is intended to clarify that the property owner could seek increased Floor Area Ratios up to the 15:1 limit. The applicant requests keeping the existing CURE entitlements including a 10:1 FAR, and adding the option, clearly stated in the ordinance, to apply for more FAR through the Downtown Business Development Program. Background In the year 2000, when the …
B-15 (Imagine Austin - Downtown Austin Plan Amendments).pdf — original pdf
Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Growth Concept Map and Downtown Austin Plan AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendments: 1. Amend Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map to reflect application of missing middle and transition area mapping ( no action required from PC ). 2. Amend text of Imagine Austin to clarify that residential uses are part of commercial and office future land use map designations. 3. Amend text and maps of the Downtown Austin Plan to reflect changes made by Austin City Council through two readings of the land development code revision. Background: The City Council voted on May 2, 2019 to establish several goals and priorities for the Land Development Code Revision, including: ● Increased housing capacity ● Expanded options for missing middle housing ● Relaxed compatibility standards ● Relaxed parking standards The comprehensive plan amendments discussed below support these priorities: Description and Proposed Language: 1. Amend Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map to reflect application of missing middle and transition area mapping ( no action required from PC ). On February 13, 2020, the City Council approved on 2nd reading an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan delineating areas appropriate for increased “missing middle” housing options. The plan text and accompanying map, entitled “Missing Middle and Transition Area Land Use Designations,” included revisions to the initial draft previously recommended by Planning Commission concurrent with its November 12, 2019 action on the Land Development Code Revision. The revised text and map reflect direction from Council, as well as Planning Commission, to establish revised criteria for applying missing middle zones in “high opportunity areas” as determined under the Opportunity360 index. The map has been attached here for PC’s consideration, but no action from PC is needed. 2. Amend text of Imagine Austin to clarify that residential uses are part of commercial and office future land use map designations. 1 B-151 of 9 Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Growth Concept Map and Downtown Austin Plan To provide for greater inclusion of residential uses in commercial and office land use designations, the following amendment is proposed to page 107 of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, in the section entitled “Growth Concept Map Series”: “While most new development will be absorbed by centers and corridors, development will happen in other areas within the city limits to serve neighborhood needs and create complete communities. Infill development can occur as redevelopment of obsolete office, retail, …

PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD DIRECTOR’S REPORT DATE: February 2020 MASTER PLAN UPDATES: John Treviño Jr. Metro Park at Morrison Ranch Master Plan (District 1) The draft master plan for John Treviño Jr. Metro Park has been completed and will be presented to the Land, Facilities, and Programs Committee on March 9 and the Parks and Recreation Board on March 24. The park master plan is also scheduled to go before the Environmental Commission on March 4 and the Design Commission on March 23. The draft master plan can be found at the project’s website: http://www.austintexas.gov/JohnTrevinoMetroPark George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center Master Plan (District 1) The Capital Contracting Office finalized the contract with the consulting firm on January 27. Park Planning is holding internal meetings with the Carver Museum leadership team to discuss outreach efforts, community engagement and strategies to help direct the consultant team, Smith & Company Architects, on next steps. Zilker Metropolitan Park Master Plan (District 8) The solicitation for qualifications was issued on February 17 for a consulting team to lead the master planning process for Zilker Metropolitan Park and then rescinded. The solicitation was rescinded because it was discovered the incorrect scope of work was used in the solicitation. This solicitation is expected to be reissued by the end of February. PARD anticipates bringing a recommendation for a consultant for City Council approval by early summer of 2020, and begin the community planning and engagement process shortly thereafter in the fall of 2020. Land Development Code The Land Development Code (LDC) rewrite was approved on second reading on February 13. Changes from the first draft included an exemption to site plan requirements for standard parkland improvements, which will make it easier to develop and improve existing parks. Additionally, an amendment was approved to modify the LDC for sites 1.66 acres to 6 acres, located along Transit Priority Network (TPN) corridors and in Imagine Austin activity centers. The intent of the amendment is to encourage housing on these parcels and lists criteria for parkland dedication. If the criteria for parkland dedication is not met, fee-in-lieu will be collected. The amendment stipulates that when the Department identifies parkland deficiency as a need, these cases will go before the Land Use Commission for consideration/approval. PARD will continue to coordinate with the LDC team to implement Council’s direction, will present data on the effects of these changes, and …
