ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-10 C14-2019-0167 2 ISSUES This property is located in the East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan (Parker Lane) and is currently identified as “commercial” on the future land use map (FLUM). The owner is requesting to change the FLUM to “mixed use” in order to construct a multifamily building. There is an existing neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) associated with this rezoning case (NPA-2017-0021.01). The owner has been working with the neighborhood plan contact team to come to an agreement with them in order to support of the FLUM change and rezoning of the property, see Exhibit C: NPA and Owner Agreement. Most of the items within the agreement will be incorporated into a private restrictive covenant. The only item within their agreement related to this rezoning case is a list of prohibited uses.

KOCH – 2ND] VOTE: 9-0, M. JACOB, A. PAPAVASILIOU – ABSENT PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 12, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. 1 of 10B-12 C14-2020-0032 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot is the second lot north of West 24th Street on the west side of San Gabriel Street, locally known as 2402 San Gabriel Street. The lot is approximately 0.23 acres (10,018 square feet). A two-story limestone building occupies about half the lot width and less than half the length. The building is a designated Austin historic landmark known variously as the Austin Gold Dollar, Franzetti’s grocery store and Freedman’s building. The request is for a building footprint rezoning to permit a cocktail lounge/restaurant in the historic building. Several new, midrise residential buildings have been built north of West 24th Street. Some of the new buildings are mixed use with ground floor retail and personal service uses. There are wide sidewalks and under-building parking. These features make the neighborhood walkable. Much of the demand for goods and services in this mixed-use neighborhood will come from the residents and workers within the neighborhood. The stone structure built in 1869, is the last remaining building from Wheatsville, an African- American neighborhood. The building was the home of Rev. Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist minister and former slave known for his community leadership and newspaper publishing. In 1876, Fontaine founded and published the Austin Gold Dollar, a weekly newspaper from his home, the two-story, limestone building. Austin Gold Dollar was the first black newspaper west of the Mississippi River. Fontaine also established the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in the …

The conditional overlay is a height limit of 90 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 12, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 21, 2020 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-13 C14-2020-0036 2 ISSUES This property was rezoned from CS to DMU-CO last year (Ordinance No. 20190620-124) which limited the height of buildings to 60 feet. At the time of the previous rezoning case, the applicant had intended to utilize the Downtown Density Bonus Program for increased entitlements. It was unclear at that time that by limiting the building height to 60 feet through a conditional overlay, the CO would prevent the applicant in moving forward with a taller building height even if they fully participated in the Downtown Density Bonus Program. Therefore, in order to construct the building that is currently under review (case # SP-2019-0390C), a zoning change is necessary to increase the maximum allowable building height. The applicant and Neighborhood Association have agreed upon a private restrictive covenant (RC). This private RC lays out terms on what the maximum development entitlements are and how the applicant may earn them. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property is zoned DMU-CO and currently has four buildings located onsite: a commercial retail store, two office/warehouse buildings dedicated to professional reprographics, and one single-family style structure being used as an office. The first three buildings are configured around a parking lot with the single-family style building behind these. This property is on the south side of West 12th Street. Across the street to the north are parcels zoned CS containing the ACC Rio Grande Parking Garage, retail shops and a café. To the east of the property are also CS zoned parcels, containing offices within a mixture of repurposed single- family and modern style structures. To the south and southwest of the property are parcels zoned MF-4, GO and LO. The GO and LO parcels have a mixture of office …

While we are confident that the issues can be satisfactorily addressed, we want to be considerate of the neighborhood process. Our goal is to be ready for the Nov 5 meeting, but will contact you to reschedule. Also, per your suggestion, we will be present at the Oct 8 meeting in the event there are questions.

The Applicant proposes to add MU- Mixed Use designation to allow development of part of their property with multifamily residential land use. The Applicant does not propose removing or modifying any of the existing conditional overlays (COs) on the property. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a portion of a property located at the southwest corner of the intersection of East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (MLK) and US Highway 183. Closest to the intersection is the Church of Christ at East Side, with religious assembly land use. The southeastern portion of the property is the area to be rezoned, and is separated by a tributary of Walnut Creek. The rezoning tract is mostly undeveloped and has frontage on US Highway 183 and Tannehill Lane. The property is zoned CS-CO-NP, with COs that were added at the time of the East MLK neighborhood planning process in 2002. In addition to designating the parcel as mixed use on the future land use map (FLUM), the plan added the following prohibited land uses: adult oriented businesses, automotive sales, blood plasma collection center, convenience storage, equipment sales, vehicle storage, agricultural sales and services, campgrounds, construction sales and services, equipment repair services, kennels, and limited warehousing and distribution land uses. The Applicant does not propose modifying the existing CO. Immediately south of the rezoning tract is land zoned CS-CO-NP with the same conditions as the rezoning tract that is developed with a civic use. Further south are properties developed with religious assembly and multifamily land uses that are zoned MF-2-CO-NP. Across Tannehill Lane to the west are an undeveloped tract (GR-CO-NP) and multifamily land use (MF-3-CO- NP). Southwest of the rezoning tract are religious assembly and private education land uses …

Vacating the alley, together with the proposed project, creates a life safety issues for all residents in the area. I encourage everyone involved in reviewing this proposal to visit the site and drive down the dead end E. 9th St. Cars are parked along the street day and night, making an exit happen in reverse only. This is the only vehicular access to the site. The entire project is unsafe for the proposed senior residents, for the adjacent Tyndall resident and the adjacent AMLI residents. Please think about the issue of adjacent residents filing out onto East 9th in the event of an emergency, next to the proposed senior tower project at the same time the tower is being evacuated at the same time emergency vehicles are trying to access the area via E. 9th. The backyard of a historic single-family home on a dead-end street is not the right place for a multi-story wood frame building due to the limited access for fire, EMS and life safety services. I strongly object to the vacation of the 572 square foot portion of the remaining 20 ft wide tract of land between E. 8th and E. 9th Street requested by the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation as part of a proposed multi-family hi-rise building. Thank you for your time in reviewing my objections. Sincerely, Jennifer Hile Kuczaj Producer 512.699.9560 CAUTION:This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Ho; Rachel Stone; Fayez Kazi GNDC Update Ltr 5.3.20 File #10076-1901 Sunday, May 3, 2020 12:05:20 PM GNDC_File #10076-1901_809 E 9 ROW.pdf *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Smith, I have attached a letter that I'm hoping provides the pertinent background and an update related to our application for the alley vacation adjacent to our property at 809 East 9th Street. As you probably are aware, the application was approved on consent by both the Urban Transportation Commission and Planning Commission late last year. In February of this year, also on consent, the City Council approved selling the remainder of the alley to GNDC. You already should have copies of the letter and email that I sent last month to all of the condominium owners at the Tyndall who submitted objection letters to the alley vacation. In my letter and email, I offered to meet virtually if the Tyndall owners wished to and I provided my phone number, email address and mailing address. I have had no responses of any kind from anyone. Despite their statements regarding safety, I'm quite certain the Tyndall owners are actually concerned about the loss of views of our downtown. While such a concern is reasonable, had anyone investing in a west-facing condominium at the Tyndall asked about the development potential of the Lopez Property-- 809 East 9th Street-- the developers of the Tyndall undoubtedly knew that the entitlements are the same as those for the Tyndall. While it is an investor's responsibility to understand the pros and cons of their investment, it is my responsibility to develop property owned by our corporation to its highest and best use in order to most effectively fulfill our mission. Had the developers of the Tyndall acquired the Lopez Property, their project certainly would have been built as far to the west and as tall as we plan to build on that same property. And, just as certainly, they would have wished to build using the 572 feet of the remainder of alleyway, just as we would like to do. Their objections suggest our property is not right for seniors, yet I'm also quite sure that the real estate agents for the Tyndall are not trying to dissuade any potential buyers who are 62 …
