ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: SF-3 CASE: C14-2023-0155 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 2103 Oak Valley Road SITE AREA: 0.92 acres (40,075 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Eddie & Leila Mayfield AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend Single-Family Residence (Large Lot) (SF-1) zoning district. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 2, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.92 acres, developed with one single family residence, has access to Oak Valley Road (level 1), and is designated interim-rural residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences (I-RR & I-SF-2) to the west, hotel-motel (ETJ) to the south, commercial and bars (ETJ) to the north, south, and east and mobile home residences (I-RR) to the north. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant and owner agree with the staff’s recommendation and are seeking a permanent zoning to allow the use of a bed and breakfast on the property. Staff is recommending single- family residence (large lot) (SF-1) zoning district because there are environmental constraints on the site that would need to limit the impervious cover and building coverage of future development. C14-2023-0155 2 Per the Watershed Protection Department, there are significant flood risks to private properties and homes downstream of this location. The additional impervious cover on this lot would, in part with other development/redevelopment in the area, exacerbate this flood risk. Based upon the city of Austin’s regulatory floodplain map, the existing building on the property at 2103 Oak Valley Road encroaches in the 100-year floodplain. If the owner proposed to construct additional buildings south of the current building location, they would be well within the 100-year floodplain and would be at significant risk of flooding. The comprehensive plan review comments this site meets four (4) of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site is located within Slaughter Lane Station Neighborhood Center and is 0.20 miles from Slaughter Lane Activity Corridor, is within 0.50 miles from goods/services and a grocery store/farmers market. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single-family residence (large lot) zoning district is intended as an area for low density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet. This …

ZONING AND PLATTING RECOMMENDATION 20240402-011 April 2, 2024 Commissioner Flores FY 24-25 Budget Recommendation Seconded By: Commissioner Stern Date: Subject: Motioned By: Recommendation The Zoning and Platting Commission respectfully urges City Council Members to consider the following recommendations regarding the City of Austin FY 2024- 2025 budget. Description of Recommendation to Council Planning Department, Development Services - Provide funding to purchase and implement software tools to give staff members access to the details they need to more quickly work through permitting and zoning applications. One platform should include everything needed including property details, zoning regulations, flooding maps (both localized and creek) and Austin’s wildfire risk map. The tools should automatically check submitted applications for accurate mathematical calculations as well as consistency with property details and zoning regulations. Once implemented, these web-based tools can also be used to create and analyze the impact of larger projects such as small area plans and affordable housing studies, as well as facilitate public engagement. The software should also be made available to the public so that zoning, permitting, and site plan applications can be analyzed before submission. Housing Department – Substantially increase funding to provide affordable housing at the 30% MFI and below level. In 2108-2022, units were constructed to meet 36% of the 10 year goal for units at 121% MFI and above, but less than 2% of the 10 year goal for units at the 30% MFI and below level has been met. Transportation Department - Provide funding to study ways to improve transportation grid connectivity for areas where industrial and commercial properties are being converted to multifamily and mixed use properties (aka “Superblocks”). Transportation easements are needed to ensure that there is nothing to impede the development of a grid for shared use paths, roads, and standard block lengths in former warehouse and commercial areas outside of downtown. Transportation Department - Increase funding to upgrade substandard roads, especially those not currently planned for Capital Improvement Projects. Housing Department - Ensure adequate staffing and resources in all City incomerestricted housing programs to timely monitor compliance with income restricted housing requirements including the number of units provided, how quickly the units are 1 of 3 filled, and whether health and safety maintenance is provided on a regular and sufficient basis. Planning Department – As our region has doubled in size every 20 to 25 years, provide adequate planning staff and resources to initiate …

GREEN STREETS INITIATIVE Street Trees Keep Austin Cool March 26th, 2024 Prepared by: Kevin Howard (Urbinden) & Jana McCann, FAIA (McCann Adams Studio) WHERE ARE OUR HEAT ISLANDS? • The worst urban heat island effects follow our major street network. • Yet, streets are how we get around, where we walk, bike, roll, catch transit - exactly where it must be cooler. • AND, lower-income residents – who depend more on transit - live on the hotter, east side. • The worsening heat islands are a major public health risk for everyone, but especially our most vulnerable communities. Heat Map of Austin showing the yellow, hottest areas focused in East Austin and Downtown WHY AUSTIN NEEDS GREEN STREETS • Address challenges of densification and climate change using public rights-of-way. • Less private yard space and busier streets mean that we will rely on trees in the public realm for health and public safety • Increasing vegetation - particularly trees - is an effective way to make Austin more livable and resilient to the effects of climate change. • Street trees are essential urban infrastructure, not just “nice-to-haves” or “beautification” Example of continuous shade trees at curbside, providing both shade and protection from road for sidewalk users WHERE ARE THE TREES? • Austin over-relies on private yards and preserved natural areas for its urban forest, which are concentrated in wealthier parts of town. • Low-income and BIPOC communities are disproportionately impacted by extreme heat • Yet, street trees are one of the most desired community benefits, according to many public surveys and in the “Contracts with Voters” in recent bond elections. The City’s Tree Canopy Map shows lack of “shade equity” on the east side. 1. The LACK OF LEADERSHIP means that review staff are conducting reviews and making decisions, with little guidance and support. Departmental Silos preclude integrated and responsive urban design. 2. Austin’s RULES & REGULATIONS are not aligned with City and community priorities: if they were, street trees would be required of most public and private development. 3. The PERMITTING PROCESS – eliminating license agreement process and 4. reduce required discretion and inconsistent implementation. It is more EXPENSIVE to plant street trees in public ROWs: we need to assure they can be subsidized for transit and affordable housing projects. Street trees compete with utilities for space in the ROW and generally come out the losers – along with …
South Central Waterfront Combining District & Density Bonus Program Urban Transportation Commission April 2, 2024 South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan Adopted June 6, 2016 2 Streets and Light Rail 3 City Council Resolution 20220915-090 Allow increased development only through the Density Bonus Program. Maximize community benefits and infrastructure investments. Create a Density Bonus Program “akin” to Downtown and that supports Project Connect. Allow entitlements for required infrastructure and community benefits. Ensure entitlements meet market demand. Create enhanced environmental standards and protections. Program to be re-evaluated/updated at least every five years. 4 Approach Since Council Resolution The SCW regulations will be implemented by: – Council adoption of an optional set of regulations and bonus program through the creation of a Combining District and a Density Bonus Program (spring 2024). – City-initiated rezoning of non PDA, PUD, and Planned Development Agreement properties in the district (summer 2024).

Key Adjustments to the South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus Program March 27, 2024 The South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus program underwent a one-month public input process. As a result, feedback was provided by community members, Boards and Commissions, staff, and other stakeholders. Staff consolidated and assessed the feedback to determine recommended adjustments to the draft code for the South Central Waterfront. The following is a list of the key changes made in the draft code as a result of the discussion, using the following key as the source of the adjustment: Boards and Commissions, Public Input, and/or Staff. Key: Source of Input Boards and Commissions Public Staff District Boundary and Subdistricts Source Adjustment Section 1.2 Section 3.3.2 District boundaries were further expanded to include three properties on the western side of the South Central Waterfront. See the updated map for detail. To underscore the commitment to transit-oriented development in the area, the FAR was adjusted to properties near to the proposed Project Connect station on the north side of East Riverside Drive. See the updated map for detail. Height limits have been added to Subdistricts 1 through 4. They are: 1 - 120', 2 - 240', 3 - 300', 4 - 600'. Subdistrict 5 remains with unlimited height. This adjustment reinforces and improves the density gradient from the closest areas to downtown being the most dense, and for the density to transition down as one moves further away from downtown. Section 3.3.2 - 1 - Land Use Source Adjustment Cocktail Lounges above 3,500sf in size will trigger the need for a conditional use permit. The conditional use permit process will better assist in the review and regulation of entertainment / nightlife noise disturbances. The Custom Manufacturing land use has been limited to 2,500sf. The limitation will deter larger single-purpose land uses and encourage more flexible development that supports smaller creative businesses. Section 2.3.1(C)(4) Section 2.3.1(D)(1) Adjustment Section 2.7(C) Section 4.4.3 Shade provisions increased for cantilevered, affixed, and freestanding options. Trees will still be the dominant shade mechanism, but this change allows for strong urban design and diversity in design of the urban space. This is also consistent with activities in other urban areas in the city. An additional internal circulation route type with a bicycle lane was added. This addition increases bicycle connectivity within the South Central Waterfront area and facilitates safe separation of …
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation 20240402‐005: Living Streets and Pedestrian Vibrancy WHEREAS, Austin City Council created the Living Streets program [RESOLUTION NO. 20211021-027] in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that “creative activation of residential streets can help build community, increase safety, and improve quality of life;” WHEREAS, the same Resolution, Austin City Council “enthusiastically embraces the Living Streets vision of a suite of street activations that are easily accessible to all Austinites for safe and joyful community-building in all neighborhoods;” WHEREAS, the Living Streets program has recently launched its first slate of Healthy Streets and Play Streets over the past few months; WHEREAS, Living Streets and reclaiming civic uses for city streets also significantly advances Austin’s ambitious Vision Zero and safety goals recorded in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan and Vision Zero planning; WHEREAS, in 2023 the United States Surgeon General published an advisory report regarding the nation’s loneliness epidemic as a major public health concern and identified one of the major pillars to solving the loneliness epidemic as social infrastructure, writing, “many factors that influence social connection are environmental.

This is why strengthening social infrastructure that promotes social connection is critical to advancing key aspects of community health, resilience, safety, and prosperity;” WHEREAS, community-oriented street furniture, such as community bulletin boards, benches, flower beds, public art, bike repair stations, and Little Free Libraries, support and encourage walkability; social connectedness; resiliency; and local businesses, organizations, causes, and City programs, by adding useful, inviting, and aesthetically-pleasing places and facilities; WHEREAS, community members have identified obstacles to implementing such facilities that support Living Streets, and more generally, to social connectedness and community on our streets citywide; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED; the Urban Transportation Commission recommends that Austin City Council direct staff to investigate barriers to the installation of such infrastructure in the public realm, including along lot lines and near intersections; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Urban Transportation Commission urges Austin City Council and Austin Transportation and Public Works to propose and pass code amendments to remove barriers to community-oriented street furniture in the public realm and allow residents to freely install social infrastructure; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Urban Transportation Commission recommends that Austin City …
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation 20240402‐003: South Central Waterfront WHEREAS, the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan aims to quadruple the number of Austinites commuting via public transit from 4% in 2017 to 16% in 2039, and identifies increasing “the number of people living and working within a 1/2 mile of the Transit Priority Network” as a key indicator of success; WHEREAS, the South Central Waterfront District provides a unique opportunity to create a transit‐supportive neighborhood centered around the future Waterfront Station as part of the Project Connect Light Rail; WHEREAS, the existing road network proposed for the South Central Waterfront District was first proposed as in the 2016 South Central Waterfront Vision Plan, at a time when future transit connections were anticipated to be located on neighboring arterials and not in the middle of the district, and was later adopted in the ASMP Street Network Table; WHEREAS, Council Resolution No. 20220915‐090 acknowledged the shortcomings of the vision plan, noting that since its adoption in 2016, “many attributes of the District have changed, including approval of Project Connect” and directed the City Manager to develop a regulating plan to include increased development entitlement bonuses and regulations that, among other goals, “support the Project Connect transit investment the community is making and help create a connected, pedestrian‐oriented, mixed use district where thousands more Austinites can live, work, and play”; and WHEREAS, 16.6% of the Project Justification Score used by the Federal Transit Administration to evaluate Capital Investment Grant applications evaluates the land‐use, density, affordable housing, and transit‐supportive zoning within a half‐mile radius of each station; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Urban Transportation Commission (UTC) recommends that the City Council direct the City Manager to consider and initiate amendments to the ASMP Street Network Table for the South Central Waterfront District upon the publishing of the Project Connect NEPA EIS Record of Decision to ensure the street grid and levels create a transit supportive environment; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the UTC appreciates staff’s responsiveness to community concerns by increasing the FAR limit on the north side of East Riverside Drive, the UTC recommends that the City Council alter the South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus regulations to maximize access to the future Waterfront Light Rail Station by reclassifying all parcels located directly on Riverside Drive to the east of Congress Ave to Subdistrict 4 or 5.
