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 …

Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 31, 2020: Meeting canceled. May 5, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 23, 2020: Postponed to June 4, 2020 at the staff’s request by consent (11-0). ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-03 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question consists of three parcels that are currently developed with two single-family residences that access North FM 620 Road. To the north, there is a commercial retail center (Plaza Volente: HEB, Panda Express, Starbucks Coffee, Chase Bank, etc.). The tract of land to the south contains a vacant Construction Sales and Services use and an undeveloped area. To the east, there are single family residences located along Antler Lane (Oak Deer Park Subdivision). The properties to west, across FM 620, are developed with a Convenience Storage use (U-Haul) and an Outdoor Recreation use (Woodland Green’s Golf Center). The applicants in this case are requesting to rezone the property to MF-2 zoning and are proposing to construct approximately 120 multifamily residential units on the site (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff supports the applicant’s request for MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning. The property meets the intent of the MF-2 zoning district designation as it will provide a transition from the single family uses to the east to the commercial uses fronting FM 620 to the west. The property takes access to an arterial roadway, North FM 620 Road, and is located adjacent to commercial uses/services to the north and west. The proposed zoning will provide for a mixture of housing opportunities in this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Low Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 23 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single-family neighborhoods, and in selected areas where …
