RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 7 CASE: C14-72-032 (RCT) – 7113 Burnet Rd EXISTING ZONING: CS-1-CO-NP, CS-CO-NP, LO-CO-NP ADDRESS: 7113 Burnet Road SITE AREA: 1.1166 acres (48,638 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Ronan Corporation (Craig Hopper) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Michael Gaudini) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends granting a Termination of the Restrictive Covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: JULY 14, 2020: [J. THOMPSON; R. SCHNEIDER – 2ND] (12-0) P. SEEGER - ABSENT June 23, 2020: APPROVED POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 14, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards by Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office, the Restrictive Covenant was provided to increase the setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). 1 of 6B-07 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “A”. The standard building setback to an internal property line, in the office zoning district is five feet when the office is surrounded by other offices or commercial zoning and use. The Restrictive Covenant provided additional setback from the detached family residences on north of the tract being rezoned to office. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from SF-5 or more restrictive zoned land and it applies to the new building, the drive aisle and parking lots. There are also requirements for landscape buffering and screening (LDC 25-2-1066) in the area between multi-family buildings and buildings in the SF-5 or more restrictive districts. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Termination request. The Restrictive Covenant was created in 1973 …

Access to Burnet Road requires agreement with adjacent property owner and approval by the Austin Transportation Department. Neighbors are concerned about potential impacts from the proposed building and multi-family residential use. 1 of 44B-08 C14-2020-0016 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Applicant seeks zoning to build 360 residential units on the 4.39 acre (191,228.4 sq. ft.) parcel of land at 7113 Burnet Road. The requested zoning is multi-family residence highest density- neighborhood plan (MF-6-NP) zoning. The subject tract is mid-block with frontage only on Burnet Road and currently has 3 curb cuts.
