ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0092 (13505 Burnet Road Rezoning) DISTRICT: 7 ZONING FROM: IP TO: MF-4 ADDRESS: 13505 Burnet Road SITE AREA: 16.41 acres (714,819 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Grand HP, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership (Richard Hill) AGENT: Smith Robertson LLP (David Hartman) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 6, 2020: Postponed to November 4, 2020 at the neighborhood's request by consent (11-0); H. Smith-1st, A. Denkler-2nd. November 4, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently developed with an office and a communication service facility (Grande Communications). The applicant is requesting a rezoning of this 16+ acre site because they propose to redevelop the property with a multifamily use/a 350 unit apartment complex. The staff recommends MF-3 zoning because the property meets the intent of the purpose statement for the base district designation. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing multifamily (MF- 3-CO) zoning to the north and south. The lots directly to the north and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Madison at Wells Branch Apartments, Scofield Luxury Apartments, Terraces at Scofield Ridge Apartments). The staff’s recommendation for MF-3 zoning is based on the site’s access to Elm Ridge Lane, a Level 1 street (comparable to a local street) and a 60’ wide driveway easement. The MF-3 district is compatible with the adjacent single-family residences to the northeast and east because it allows for a maximum of 40 feet in height, instead of 60 feet in height, as permitted in the requested MF-4 district. In addition, this recommendation is consistent with the surrounding zoning patterns to the north and south of this site. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Medium Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. While the site under consideration …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: LI DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0091 (Johnny Morris Road Light Industrial) ZONING FROM: LI-CO, W/LO-CO ADDRESS: 6215 ½ Johnny Morris Road SITE AREA: 14.72 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Texas Coldworks, LLC (Christian Garces) AGENT: Kimley-Horn (Harrison M. Hudson, P.E.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends LI-CO, Limited Industrial-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will limit the site to uses permitted in the IP, Industrial Park, district and the Consumer Convenience Services use. Therefore, the CO would prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Washing Campground Commercial Off-Street Parking Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility Equipment Repair Services Equipment Sales Food Sales Funeral Services General Retail Sales (Convenience) General Retail Sales (General) Hotel-Motel Kennels Laundry Services Liquor Sales Monument Retail Sales Personal Improvement Services Scrap and Salvage Vehicle Storage Veterinary Services Basic Industry Recycling Center Resource Extraction C14-2020-0091 2 ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2020-0091 3 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a moderately vegetated undeveloped 14+ acre area that fronts onto Johnny Morris Road. The tract of land to the north contains a mobile home park (Walnut Creek Mobile Home Park). To the south, there is a single-family residence with a barn and a manufactured home park. The property to the west, across Johnny Morris Road, consists of an undeveloped tract, a single family residence and an office/warehouse use. To the east, there is a rail line and a single-family residential neighborhood. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from LI-CO and W/LO-CO to develop this site with a limited warehousing and distribution use. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Limited Industrial Service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. The property in question is a 14+ acre area that is located on Johnny Morris Road, an arterial roadway, across from existing industrial uses. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. LI-CO zoning will permit the applicant to develop this property with the warehousing and distribution uses that were permitted in the original zoning ordinance in 1988 (Please see Exhibit D - Ordinance No. 891207- C). The proposed conditional overlay will limit the site to IP, Industrial Park district, …
1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0108 Rogers Ln Project ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: SF-3 ADDRESS: 5206 and 5208 Rogers Lane SITE AREA: 0.57 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Capital River Group, LLC – Series 24 (Stuart Carr) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to SF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: November 3, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 3, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2020-0108 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 0.57 acre property located on the west side of Roger Lane approximately 110 feet north of the FM 969 right-of-way. The property is comprised of two lots zoned SF-2 developed with one house. The applicant proposes rezoning the lots in order to replace the single house with four residences (One primary residence and one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) per lot). Properties to the north, south and east are zoned SF-2 and the majority of these properties are developed with single family residences. To the west of the property is undeveloped land zoned LR-MU. Other nearby undeveloped properties include a SF-6-CO tract to the northwest and a LR-MU-CO property to the southeast. Please see Exhibits A and B— Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the proposed SF-3 rezoning district. This will allow a total of 4 dwelling units, instead of a maximum of two (one per lot). This will allow reasonable use of the property at a density comparable to most areas of the city. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses and should not result in detrimental impacts to the neighborhood character. Zoning changes should promote a balance of intensities and densities. Increasing the development potential of these two lots from 2 units to 4 units will remain compatible with surrounding properties and not result in detrimental impact to the area. 2. SF-3 zoning on this property will provide a balance of development intensities in the area. While most properties in the area are zoned SF-2, there are properties zoned LR-MU, SF-6-CO, and LR-MU-CO in the immediate vicinity. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING LAND USES Site SF-2 North SF-2 South SF-2 Single family residential Single family residential East SF-2, LR-MU-CO Single family residential, undeveloped …

MEMORANDUM TO: Linda Guerrero, Chair, Environmental Commission FROM: Pamela Abee-Taulli, Environmental Review, DSD DATE: October 21, 2020 SUBJECT: Albert H. Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, Revision 2 Variances Dear Chair Guerrero, Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, operated by Austin Water Utility, is critical to providing the City with safe drinking water. The site plan under review is a revision to the original site plan, which was approved in 2003. The plan includes multiple projects and will require seven Environmental variances, largely due to the site’s location in an environmentally sensitive area with numerous environmental constraints. Because of the unusually high number of variances, I have taken the uncommon step of providing a single set of findings for all the variances, rather than one set of findings for each variance. Additionally, I am including this memo to introduce the list of proposed projects. The overall purpose of the plan revision under review is to improve operator and environmental safety by eliminating potential hazards and to upgrade miscellaneous plant processes to ensure the plant can reliably deliver drinking water. The sludge change-over structure replaces existing structures that require confined space entry. Other improvements provide safety washdown areas and a looped, potable water supply to the facility. The spill containment structure will contain fugitive spills that may enter the existing storm drain system from chemical delivery areas and will prevent their discharge into Little Bee Creek. The Low Service Pump Station Electrical Feed Renewal project includes construction of a new electrical building, retaining walls, electrical and mechanical equipment, parking areas, access road, and duct bank routing.
