BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Commercial land use because the property is within 150 feet of the Lake Austin Boulevard which is an activity corridor as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan’s Growth Concept Map. As the comprehensive plan notes, activity corridors are characterized by a variety of activities and types of buildings located along the roadway — shopping, restaurants and cafés, parks, schools, single-family houses, apartments, public buildings, houses of worship, mixed-use buildings, and offices. For this reason, staff would also support Mixed Use land use, which would also be appropriate for this location. Objective 1: Preserve the existing single family neighborhoods of Central West Austin. Objective 2: Preserve or enhance, as appropriate, existing multifamily housing and neighborhood-serving commercial districts. 2 NPA-2020-0027.01 2 of 30B-7 Planning Commission: December 8, 2020 Objective 3: All development should be compatible with the character of the adjacent neighborhood and should be guided by green design principles.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2.

Henry Middle School. The site is east of and across Newman Drive from the new Lake Austin HEB grocery store, currently under construction and expected to open in 2021. Current Zoning The one-story commercial building at 2608 West 7th Street, fronts on West 7th Street between Newman Drive and Norwalk Lane. The buildings have three tenants, from west to east: Maudie’s Café, Twin Liquors and the (former) Goodwill store. The base zoning is general commercial services – neighborhood plan (CS-NP) with footprint zoning for commercial-liquor sales – neighborhood plan (CS-1- NP) for the café and liquor store. Requested Zoning The tenant space is being reconfigured with expanded liquor sales area (Tract 2). In addition, part of the area currently zoned for liquor sales (Maudie’s kitchen) is not necessary. To minimize the request for the commercial-liquor sales zoning, the applicant proposes that some of the existing CS-1-NP zoning revert to CS-NP zoning (Tract 1). Tract 1: 2,285 sq. ft. from CS-1-NP to CS-NP Tract 2: 5,327 sq. ft. from CS-NP to CS-1-NP Tract 1 is generally the west end of the building occupied by Maudie’s Café.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing a mixed use project with 258 residential units above ground-floor retail. The property is located in an area with industrial zoning and is located near the Airport Overlay Zone. Staff does not support placing residential uses in this area. See the associated zoning case report, C14-2020-0101, for more information the property in relation to the Airport Overlay Zone. Below are sections of the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan document that addresses industrial areas within the planning area. Industrial Zones A distinctive element of the existing land use landscape within the Planning Areas is that there are defined districts with large amounts of existing industrial development, and numerous undeveloped properties with industrial zoning. The fact that this part of southeast Austin is surrounded by major transportation corridors, has a large amount of undeveloped land, and is in close proximity to the airport makes it a very attractive location for industrial development. The McKinney and Southeast NPAs host the majority of this type of construction, much of this in the form of large industrial office parks. Instead of rejecting industrial-type development around their homes, residents in the Franklin Park and McKinney NPAs have been successful at communicating and cooperating with nearby industrial property owners. Area residents have traditionally been amenable to those types of industrial uses that don’t interfere with neighborhood activities or infringe upon their quality of life. Goal 4 Ensure that existing residential and industrial zoned properties co-exist in a compatible manner. Objective 4.1 Provide appropriate buffer zones between residential and industrial zoned properties. Action Item 9 Where needed, create …

MEMORANDUM ************************************************************************ TO: Todd Shaw, Chair Planning Commission Members FROM: Wendy Rhoades, Principal Planner & Mark Graham, Senior Planner Housing and Planning Department November 30, 2020 DATE: RE: C14-2020-0112 – 416 West 12th Street – Delta Kappa Gamma Request for Postponement by Staff to January 26, 2021 ************************************************************************ Staff requests a postponement of the above-referenced rezoning case to January 26, 2021 so that the Historic Landmark Commission has an opportunity to determine on December 14, 2020 if they recommend Historic zoning for the subject property to the Land Use Commission. The applicant requested Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning and the Historic Landmark Commission voted at their November 16th meeting to initiate a Historic (H) zoning on the building and organization. By postponing the case to January 26th, the Planning Commission may be able to consider both cases at one public hearing. This also helps to minimize the number of hearings that the applicant and other interested parties must attend. 1 of 1B-13

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code prior to its release. SUMMARY STAFF COMMENT ON SITE PLAN: A 28,358 square foot art gallery exists on site. The applicant is seeking to add a cocktail lounge use to supplement the art gallery events. A cocktail lounge is a conditional use in CS-1 zoning districts according to Land Development Code Section 25-2-491. Therefore, Land Use Commission review and approval is required. The CS-1 zoning makes up 28,358 square feet of the 2-lot, 521,848.8 square foot site. The site is already developed. No construction will occur with this site plan approval. Restrictions on Alcoholic Beverages - § 4-9-4 – Minimum Distance From Certain Uses Austin City Code establishes restrictions for the sale of alcoholic beverages at a place of business within 300 feet of a church, public school, or public hospital, except as provided by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. The distance shall be calculated using the method prescribed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. A church exists approximately 490 feet to the east from property line to property line, across Connor Lane. The Hart Elementary School exists on the adjacent property to the west, though the school itself is set back significantly from the property line. The cocktail lounge is also set back from the property line. The cocktail lounge is proposed to be entirely within Building 2, a building situated in the northern portion of a 2-lot site.
