C14-2024-0015 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 1.92 acres, undeveloped, has frontage on Montopolis Drive (level 3), Caddies Street (level 1) and Fairway Street (level 1). The site has two zonings associated with it, community commercial-neighborhood plan (GR-NP) and family residences- neighborhood plan (SF_3-NP). The property has townhomes, Austin Youth Development Building and a Dollar Tree (MF-2-NP, P-NP, GR-NP) to the north.

Steering Committee Members: Christopher Hurst AIA, Chair Paula Hern, Meghan Yancy, Claudette Kazzoun, Rob Kish, Steve Amos, Germaine Curry, Margaret Sullivan, William Osborn, David Schofman, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum OWANA OLD WEST AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 2724 Austin, TX 78768-2724 July 9, 2024 RE: C14-2024-0007- 1209 W 5th Street - Agenda Item 12 Dear Chair Hempel and Planning Commissioners, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA opposes the 1209 W 5th Street rezoning application from LI-CO-NP to LI-PDA-NP. At this point, representatives for the Owner of 1209 W 5th Street have been unable to reach a full agreement with OWANA regarding the site and building standards as well as other conditions of the Planned Development Area (PDA) agreement. The proposed LI-PDA for 1209 W 5th Street is asking for an enormous entitlement and agreeing to very little in the way of community benefits and project design. When the proposed rezoning was first presented to the OWANA Zoning Committee in February, there was no plan or proposal for conditions of the PDA. The reason given was there is no architect or developer on board for this rezoning. Our response was we are unable to agree to a PDA without a plan. No plan…no agreement. At the following presentation in March, a concept sketch was presented to the Zoning Committee (see attached presentation). After reviewing the concept plan and elevations, the committee was concerned that the plan was squeezing too much on the .45 acre lot. OWANA has three other agreements with nearby developments based on PDA zoning that are all greater than twice the lot size of the 1209 W 5th Street proposal. Only one of these PDA’s will allow height up to 120 feet. The 410 Pressler 120 foot PDA offers many community benefits (see attached) that the 1209 W. 5th Street proposal is unable to match due to the small lot size. Based on the small lot size and a lack of an affordable housing component enforceable by the City, OWANA can agree to a PDA of 75 feet, with other conditions, as 75 feet is the height of the closest PDA’s. The idea behind incentivizing extra height is to gain more housing density that contributes to affordability. It has been stated in the emails from the agent for the property, that the proposed multi-family development is not certain, and it will create a conflict with the existing …
