ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The Pioneer Crossing Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by Council in 1997. On October 17, 2019, the City Council approved the 14th amendment to the PUD through Ordinance No. 20191017-064. The 14th amendment inadvertently omitted the following language in Part 7(C)(6) of the original PUD ordinance: [or those improvements that may be otherwise required by the City of Austin or specifically authorized under this ordinance.] The accidental omission of this language limits the types of improvements the City may require near an open waterway with upstream drainage. Therefore, the staff placed an item on the February 18, 2020 Zoning and Platting Commission agenda to request that the Commission initiate this new PUD amendment case to rezone the property to reinsert that language. This case is a result of the ZAP Commission rezoning initiation. 1 1 of 38B-02 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING Site North County, I-SF-4A PUD South East West LI-PDA, PUD (Pioneer Crossing PUD) PUD (Pioneer Crossing PUD), County, W/LO County LAND USES Undeveloped Undeveloped, Single Family Residences, Single Family Residential Subdivision (Cantarra Meadow) Samsung Manufacturing, Undeveloped Tracts Undeveloped (Farmland), Manufactured Housing Subdivision (River Ranch), Single Family Residences, Stables (Rocking B Stables) Undeveloped TIA: Not Required HILL COUNTRY ROADWAY: No AREA STUDY: N/A WATERSHED: Harris Branch CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR: No NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council Bike Austin Friends of Austin Neighborhoods Harris Branch Residential Property Owners Association Homeless Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation North Gate Neighborhood Association North Growth Corridor Alliance Pflugerville Independent School District SELTEXAS Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group AREA CASE HISTORIES: NUMBER C814-96-0003.15 (Pioneer Crossing PUD Amendment #15: 10930 Defender Trail, Sprinkle Cut Off Road and Samsung Boulevard, Samsung Boulevard and East Braker Lane) REQUEST PUD to PUD: The applicant is requesting a 15th amendment to the Pioneer Crossing PUD to address the interpretation of Part 13 of the original PUD ordinance (Ordinance No. 970410-I), that states the following: COMMISSION 10/03/19: Approved the staff’s rec. for …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Ray, Jarrett Sullivan Ray Thomasian Jewels Cain; Bailey Harrington; Dan Hennessey; Jill Tarleton Plaza Volente Apartment Project Near HEB 620 Anderson Mill Color Site Plan 2020-03-13.pdf Thank you for the engagement in preliminary discussions surrounding our proposed apartment development near RM 620 & Anderson Mill. We are now aligned that the southernmost proposed driveway on the attached site plan should be restricted to right-in/right-out only. Based on our coordination with the Canyon Creek Homeowner's Association during the zoning process, I would like to formally request that TxDOT assist with implementing the following two items during our future permitting process: 1) Restrict the southernmost proposed driveway on the attached site plan to right-in/right-out only. 2) As part of our project, allow for the expansion of the northern driveway (HEB side street/signal light) from two lanes to a minimum of three lanes to help avoid traffic back-ups and excessive queuing at peak hours. We look forward to continuing our coordination efforts with TxDOT after receiving zoning approval which is tentatively scheduled to occur on June 4th. Regards, Jarrett J.

This application has been submitted regarding the rezoning of more than 9 acres of land that is currently natural habitat. Originally, it was our assumption that the development was only concerning the original 25 acre plot, now, we discover that the developer has added an additional 9.4 acres. This massive project was disturbing to us as homeowners and as neighbors in already crowded HWY 620 corridor, but with the additional units, it has become even more disconcerting. Our property, 11404 Antler Lane backs up to the additional acraeage. Our concerns center around the additional road traffic that these units bring to our area, but also the possibility of foot traffic through our property. We have many beautiful trees and foliage …
