ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-21 of 12 ISSUES: On November 11, 2020, the applicant sent an e-mail to the staff stating that they wanted to amend their rezoning request to GR-MU-CO (see Exhibit C). The applicant is proposing a conditional overlay to prohibit the following uses: • Automotive Rentals • Automotive Repair Services • Automotive Sales • Automotive Washing (of any type) • Exterminating Services • Pawn Shop Services • Drive-thru fast-food CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 4+ acre tract of land that is currently zoned SF-2 and developed with a single family residence fronting onto Johnny Morris Road. To the north, there is the Walnut Creek Greenbelt that is zoned P and lots that are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-4A. The lots to the east, across Johnny Morris Road, are also developed with single-family residential uses zoned SF-2. To the south, there is a developing multifamily use with amenities that was recently zoned GR-MU-CO through case C14-2018- 0117 – please see Area Case Histories below (Loyola Loft Apartments). The tract of land to the west contains a single-family home and undeveloped area.

This property was subdivided in 2008 (C8J-2008-0107.0A - please see Related Cases below) and dedicated nearly 17 feet of land area for the future expansion of Morris Road. This dedication was to accommodate a planned 70-foot ROW for Morris Road and included 35 feet from the existing centerline. 2. At the time of Plat, a sidewalk was required along the entire frontage of Morris Road. This sidewalk has been built and is existing. 3. At the time of Plat, the owner of the property posted fiscal for future improvements to Morris Road. 4. The Plat that was approved by the City of Austin restricts land uses to non-residential only.

From: Marcia Spillers < > Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2020 9:33 PM To: Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov> Subject: Case Number C14‐2020‐0111 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Sirwaitis, I am writing to you to ask for a postponement of the hearing of Case Number C14-2020-0111 on November 17, 2020, by the Zoning and Platting Commission, until December 15, 2020, or later. With Covid 19 cases growing daily, our neighborhood has not had the opportunity to discuss with each other this rezoning and the impact it would have upon our single-family neighborhood. In the event of a possible lockdown, this would place any chance of discussion in the future, until Covid 19 has been contained. Furthermore, I would like to see the plans for the proposed rezoning for a daycare and apartment complex at the church, including the number of units, the parking layout, and a traffic impact study if there is one. Again, with the Covid 19 virus, this is most likely not doable until the virus has been contained. Last, with the runoff of candidates for City Council slated in December, I feel this issue should be heard after the first of the year, when the council members are in place and have the time to consider this fully. To do otherwise, would be imprudent to say the least. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request, and I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Marcia Spillers 13210 Villa Park Drive Austin, Texas 78729 512-217-0989

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: PART 1. FINDINGS. 10 The City Council finds that: 1. Given the potential for severe and frequent drought conditions in Central Texas, it is essential that new water use policies to conserve water continue to be developed. 2. Water conservation efforts, including policies for responsible onsite water reuse systems, help maximize limited resources as population grows, while ensuring supply for critical public health and safety needs including adequate supplies necessary for emergency fire-fighting, fire suppression, and natural disaster or other emergency management or disaster response. 3. Proper maintenance of onsite water reuse systems is necessary for sanitation and to protect public health as the City’s standard means of treatment or disposal through the City’s wastewater treatment systems or storm sewers, as applicable, is not being used as the sole or primary means of treatment or disposal. 24 PART 2. City Code Chapter 15-13 is adopted to read as follows: ARTICLE 1. - REGULATION OF ONSITE WATER REUSE SYSTEMS. Division 1. - General Provisions. § 15-13-1 – APPLICABILITY.

Resource Management Commission Review and Recommendation November 17, 2020 Health and Environment Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Austin Water December 10, 2020 COA Strategic Direction: Client: Katherine Jashinski, Teresa Lutes, Kevin Critendon Agenda Item Recommend approval of an ordinance to establish Chapter 15-13 of the Austin City Code and amend City Code Chapter 2-13 regarding treatment, monitoring, and reporting regulations for Onsite Water Reuse Systems to encourage the development of local, sustainable water supplies using alternative source waters in commercial buildings for non-potable uses. Amount and Source of Funding Funding for the administration of these code changes is included in Austin Water’s FY 2020-2021 Approved Operating Budget November 29, 2018 – City Council approved the Water Forward Plan on a 10-0 vote. November 17, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Resource Management Commission November17, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission N/A Purchasing Language: N/A Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The 2018 Austin Integrated Water Resources Plan – Water Forward – includes strategies that require adoption of ordinances and incentives that would encourage and eventually require development of local, sustainable water supplies using alternative source waters (including rainwater, stormwater, A/C condensate, foundation drain water and graywater) for large commercial buildings for non-potable uses. The proposed ordinance language establishes regulations for the treatment, monitoring, and reporting requirements for onsite water reuse systems. These regulations are based on the model local ordinance from the National Blue Ribbon Commission for Onsite Non-potable Water Systems, which is supported by a risk- based public health framework that was developed by an expert panel of researchers, practitioners and public health officials. The proposed regulations are necessary to ensure the reuse systems are designed, operated and maintained in a manner that is protective of public health, thereby increasing their acceptance and adoption in new development. Along with these regulations, Austin Water is planning to administer a pilot onsite non- potable reuse incentive program. Grant awards are intended to help offset the installation costs of systems for development projects that voluntarily install and use onsite water reuse systems for non-potable water uses such as toilet flushing, cooling tower make-up water and irrigation. Through a proposed incentive program, projects that are able to offset at least 1,000,000 gallons of potable water each year will be eligible for $250,000 in grant funding and projects that are able to offset at …

FINDINGS. 12 The City Council finds that: 1. Given the potential for severe and frequent drought conditions in Central Texas, it is essential that new water use policies to conserve water continue to be developed. 2. Water conservation efforts, including policies for responsible water conservation and regulations for cooling towers, help maximize limited resources as population grows while ensuring supply for critical public health and safety needs including adequate supplies necessary for emergency fire fighting, fire suppression, and natural disaster or other emergency management or disaster response. 3. As water is essential to public health and sanitation and the City’s water supply is the sole or primary water supply for over a million people, water conservation and drought condition measures that help assure the maintenance of a sufficient City water supply for the City’s customers are necessary to protect public health and for the purposes of sanitation. PART 2. City Code Section 6-4-2 (Definitions) is repealed and replaced with a new Section 6-4-2 to read as follows: 31 § 6-4-2 - DEFINITIONS. 32 Unless a different definition is expressly provided, in this chapter: Page 1 of 28 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 (1) ACTION OF THE UTILITY means an action taken by Austin Water pursuant to this chapter.

Recommendation for Resource Management Commission Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: November 17, 2020 December 10, 2020 Austin Water SUBJECT Recommend approval of an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 6-4 (Water Conservation) and City Code Section 15-9-241 (Utility Regulations) related to commercial and industrial cooling tower water efficiency performance standards, operations, registration, inspection and administrative requirements and penalties. Funding for the administration of these code changes is included in Austin Water’s FY 2020-2021 Approved Operating Budget AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING N/A August 16, 2012, Ord. 20120816-004; May 5, 2016, Ord. 20160505-003 Kevin Critendon, 512-972-0191; Mark Jordan, 512-974-3901; November 17, 2020 - To be reviewed and Resource Management Commission November 17, 2020 – To be reviewed by Water and Wastewater Commission N/A Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: For More Information: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The 2018 Austin Integrated Water Resources Plan – Water Forward – recommended the adoption of ordinances that would increase water use efficiency by the commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) water use sectors, specifically including cooling towers. The proposed ordinance language would amend Chapter 6-4 (Water Conservation) by imposing administrative penalties of up to $500 for failure to submit required cooling tower registration and annual inspection reports to ensure towers are meeting all water efficiency standards and equipment requirements. Assessment of administrative penalties for this program would be consistent with the current assessment of penalties under the Commercial Irrigation System Evaluation and Commercial Car Wash Certification programs. The proposed ordinance also includes an offense for submitting a false report or tampering with readout and reporting devices. The proposed ordinance would also amend the inspection report requirements to include whether the tower is meeting additional water efficiency standards for drift eliminators and the addition of biocides to cooling tower recirculating water to prevent algae growth, thereby increasing water efficiency as well as protecting public health by preventing airborne bacteria. These measures are consistent with 1126.1 and E 403.5.2, respectively, of the 2015 Uniform Mechanical Code, International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAMPO), Standard 189.1, International Green Construction Code, of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the 2020 Water Conservation Design Standards For State Buildings and Institutions of Higher Education Facilities, State Energy Conservation Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Finally, the proposed ordinance would amend City Code Section15-9-241 (Utility Regulations) by providing that those who do not submit required …
