From: Jordan Smith [ Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2020 3:07 PM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Subject: NPA-2019-0003.01 Ms. Meredith, I hope this finds you safe and well. Please find attached my comments regarding the above referenced request by David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church to amend the Chestnut Neighborhood plan. Also, I would like to clarify, just in case, that the areas on the map that are highlighted in yellow are the ones that I and other neighbors have repeatedly talked with David Chapel representatives about keeping as SF, or whatever version of SF might allow greater density of SF on those lots. The asterisk on the SE parking lot property makes it look as though it is just the bottom portion of that parcel that I and others would like to see kept as SF, but in fact it is the whole of that SE parking lot area — in other words, the entirety of the shaded block. And please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have about what I have submitted — or if you need any clarification of the above! Thank you! Best, Jordan

P.O. Box 41232 Austin, TX 78704 To: City of Austin Planning Commission From: Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association (GENA) Executive Committee Re: C14-2020-0067 - Opposition to Application for Rezoning 3504 S. 1st Street _____________________________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2020 Introduction of GENA: The Galindo Neighborhood boundaries are Oltorf Street on the North, Ben White on the South, the Union Pacific Railway on the West and South First Street on the East. The purpose of the Association is to seek to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood in matters such as land use, traffic control, social functions, environmental protection, public services, and other matters of neighborhood concern. Membership in the Galindo Neighborhood Association (GENA) is open to anyone who resides within association boundaries and to residential property owners within those boundaries. The Proposed Zoning Change & the Re-Development of the Mercury Hall Site: Slate Real Estate Partners (“Slate”) have contracted with Merc Properties LTD (“Merc Properties”) to purchase 3504 S. 1st St., which is 0.842 acres of land adjacent to the well- known wedding and event venue, Mercury Hall—a true Austin staple. 3504 S. 1st is the subject of the requested zoning change. Notably, Slate has also contracted with Merc Properties to purchase the actual Mercury Hall site, which lies on 2.9377 acres of land. Slate has expressed their intent to build a 275-350 unit apartment complex with a 5-level parking garage with 300+ parking spots on these two adjacent tracts of land. There will be two entrance/exit locations—one on Cardinal Lane and one on South 1st St. 1 1 Slate has also contracted with Merc Properties to purchase a third tract of land that is across the street. Slate has expressed their intent to turn this property into a park to fulfill part of their City of Austin parkland obligation/requirements. Page 1 of 5 1 of 33 In order for Slate to build this massive apartment complex and parking garage covering both tracts of land, the current zoning at 3504 S. 1st must be changed from CS-CO to CS-MU-V-CO to allow for the redevelopment of the site as a mixed-use project. In addition, the conditional overlay that restricts the building height to 40 feet and limits the vehicle trips per day must also be lifted/removed. This proposed sale is targeted to close in the Summer of 2021. Slate estimates the proposed apartment complex development will take approximately 22 months to …
Planning Commissione Question and Answer Report B3 Plan Amendment: NPA-2019-0003.01 - David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church; District 1 Question Commissioner Hempel: Staff response in red. Why wasn’t the church property/structure included with the historic neighborhood application to the north that went through PC at the last meeting? Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District application did not include David Chapel because code requires historic districts to have contiguous boundaries. The chapel is kittycorner from the proposed district and does not share any parcel lines. Additionally, district boundaries are proposed by the community application team, which elected to not include the chapel and the additional properties along Chestnut or E. MLK that would be needed to satisfy the contiguous boundary requirement. Question Commissioner Shaw: Staff response in red. 1. Is 1805 Ferdinand St. a legal lot? This question was forwarded to Nikelle Meade for a response. 2. Why isn’t there a zoning change accompanying this FLUM change? This question was forwarded to Nikelle Meade for a response. 3. Why is staff supporting mixed use on lots on Ferdinand St. and Chestnut that are not within same block? It seems like allowing mixed use on lots that are not contiguous especially on lots that are not fronting corridor would be discouraged. Nikelle Meade will ask for a postponement to Sept. 8 PC hearing so she can work with surrounding property owners. Staff would like to provide an answer to this question at that time. 4. Chestnut NPCT stated that they were not aware of this item coming before PC and have not come to an agreeable solution with applicant. Shouldn't the NPCT have the opportunity to work with applicant? This case has been postponed on PC agendas since January 14, 2020. On or about August 6, 2020, Nikelle Meade told me she wanted to move forward with just the NPA case and that she would contact the Chestnut NPCT to let them know. The case was then postponed on August 11, 2020 PC to August 25 PC hearing date. On August 13th I emailed the Chestnut NPCT to ask if they would like to provide a recommendation for the case for the August 25th PC hearing. I’ve forwarded this question to Nikelle Meade and Micah King for their response as well.

The Property is approximately 0.8106 acres (35,309 square feet) and is currently developed with restaurant uses. The Property is zoned Central Business District (“CBD”) and within the Core/Waterfront district of the Downtown Austin Plan. The maximum floor-to-area ratio (“FAR”) for properties zoned CBD is 8:1 with no height limitation. This would yield about 282,472 square feet of building area on a 0.8106 acre site. The purpose of this Application is to request a density bonus to exceed the 8:1 FAR limitation to construct a 47-story office building with ground floor retail and structured parking (the “Project”). The building will be approximately 723 feet tall. The density bonus, if approved, would allow for a 21:1 FAR to yield approximately 741,319 square feet of building area. This is an increase of approximately 458,847 square feet. The Project shall adhere to Section 25-2-586 by meeting all of the Gatekeeper requirements. This includes, (i) a restrictive covenant committing to provide streetscape improvements along all public street frontages, consistent with Great Streets Standards, (ii) a restrictive covenant committing to achieve a minimum two-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building program, and (iii) substantial compliance with Urban Design Guidelines as outlined in the matrix submitted with the Application. A site plan has been filed under Case No. SP-2019-0426C that provides streetscape improvements along San Jacinto Boulevard, E. 2nd Streets, and Trinity Street consistent with Great Streets Standards. The Project proposes a civically minded ground level experience with a shaded colonnade and two corner plazas that will be populated with a generous amount of public art. {W0965698.1} ARMBRUST & BROWN, PLLC Page 2 In summary, the request is to increase the allowed FAR from 8:1 to 21:1 through the Downtown Density Bonus Program. We appreciate your consideration of our Project and …
