AGENT: Drenner Group PC (Dave Anderson) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12B-7 C14-2021-0132 2 ISSUES: The Applicant is requesting to redesignate the property from CMU subdistrict to TOD-MU subdistrict. CMU is the most permissive Mixed Use Subdistrict in terms of land uses and does not require active ground floor uses. A wide array of retail, office, and residential uses are permitted. TOD-MU is the most intensively developed mixed use subdistrict and requires active ground floor uses. TOD-MU also requires a minimum 2-story building. The Applicant also proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a 5-story hotel. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant proposes increasing the building height from 35 feet to 60 feet. Since the project does not include any residential units, the Applicant will be required to pay a fee-in- lieu to HPD. This is already administratively permitted by the TOD. (Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 7th Street between Comal Street and Concho Street. East 7th Street is an Imagine Austin Transit Priority Network roadway. The property is currently developed with one single family residence which is proposed to be demolished.

The conditional overlay is for a maximum building height of 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 3, 2022 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Staff has received comments on this rezoning request. For all written or emailed comments, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is located on the south side of W. 11th Street and is approximately 0.15 acres in size. It is currently zoned LO and is developed with a single-family residential unit. Adjacent zoning consists of GO-MU to the east and LO to the west. Across the alley to the south and to the north across W. 11th Street are properties zoned GO, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. B-131 of 17 The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to allow for a higher intensity of use and a mix of commercial and residential uses. This block of the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) has identified a mixture of DMU-40 and DMU-60 properties. While the DAP identifies this property as DMU- 40, it is surrounded by DMU-60 properties on three sides. Additionally, within this area there have been three rezoning cases in the last two years where the City Council has approved DMU- CO with height limits of either 60 or 90 feet. Within the applicant’s rezoning application, they stated they were agreeable to a conditional overlay to limit the building height to 60 feet on the property. Staff supports the addition of this CO. The Downtown Austin Plan does not have a future land use map (FLUM) and therefore does not require a neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) to be considered with the rezoning request. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. This property is adjacent to and surrounded by GO zoned properties to the north, south and east. The GO zoning …

The building is a good example of a large warehouse building that typifies rail-side warehouses for wholesale distribution of provisions and commodities during the time that the vast majority of those operations were rail lines. This is a utilitarian building with little architectural flourish, but qualifies for landmark designation under the architectural criterion as a good example of a utilitarian structure with few alterations. Historical Associations: This warehouse building was constructed around 1912 for the Nalley Grocery Company, operated by A.M. Nalley, and later by J. Gordon Wilcox, a prominent wholesale grocery man in town. Nalley Grocery Company remained here until around 1917, when the Shear Company, owned by Mrs. H.H.

-----Original Message----- From: Susan Griswold Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2021 4:25 PM To: Connor Greissing Subject: 4th St. Hello Conner, I've lived on E. 4th St. for more than 10 years. RC asked me to tell you my opinion about the 65' vs. 85' building at the TCT location. As long as the heritage pecan tree is kept alive (no serious root damage) and the plan to have extensive green space and walkways on the ground level for public use come to fruition, I'm good with 85 feet. I'd much rather see sprawl upward, rather than horizontally, where the green space is eaten up. Thanks, Susan Griswold 1305 E. 4th St. Austin, 78702

Beall and Beth A. Beall AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to TOD-NP to amend the Saltillo Plaza Transit Oriented District (TOD) Station Area Plan and Regulating Plan to allow a building height up to 85 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0138 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pay a fee-in-lieu to the Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Density Bonus tool permits the property to increase the building height from 40 feet to 60 feet to meet the permitted FAR of 2:1. This is already administratively permitted by the TOD. Since the Applicant intends to develop the property with office land uses with ground floor restaurant uses and sub-grade parking. Since there are no onsite residential units, the Applicant will be required to pay the fee in lieu. The rezoning request is to allow the property to increase the building height from 60 feet to 85 feet and increase the FAR from 2:1 to 3.81. If granted, the applicant will be required to pay the fee-in-lieu to HPD for the total increase in FAR. (Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 4th Street between Navasota Street and Onion Street. The rezoning tract is bounded by a vacated alley to the north. The property is zoned TOD-NP, as are the surrounding properties. The property is currently developed with office and warehouse uses. The property across the alley to the north are Capital Metro offices. Plaza Saltillo rail station is northeast across the intersection of the alley and Onion Street. Across Onion Street to the east are Indoor and Outdoor entertainment and Pedicab storage and dispatch service land uses. A mixed use multifamily/office building is also under construction on the block. Across East 4th Street to the south are …

Cauvin'; 'Curtis Rogers' 815 W.11th (item B-13) -- please support the request for 60' *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hey Planning Commissioners: I hope you’ll vote to support applicant’s request, and staff’s recommendation, for 60 feet of height at 815 W.11th Street. This is item B‐13 on your agenda for Tuesday, Jan. 11. The Downtown Austin Plan was approved over a decade ago. In the years since then, we’ve adopted Imagine Austin (2012), the Strategic Housing Blueprint (2017), the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (2018), and Project Connect (2020). All of these plans argue for a more compact, transit‐oriented central city. Restricting this site to 40 feet of height would fly in the face of all those more recent planning efforts. We really need to start taking climate change seriously. That means allowing greater density in central locations like this that can be served well by transit. I have lived in old homes in this neighborhood since 1990. In my view, the most urgent priority for our neighborhood is to add more housing, as the applicant proposes here. Welcoming new neighbors serves the interests of this neighborhood, this city, and this planet. Thanks for your service, and for considering this input.

Congress Ave. Re: Dear Planning Commission, From: GR-MU-CO-NP To: GR-MU-V-NP SCCNPCT We, the SCCNPCT will not be able support this development due to the affordable housing not being equal or greater to what other developments have provided to the SCCNPCT – South Congress corridor. • The developer is proposing 95 units mixed with affordable housing at 10% - 80% MFI. • Commercial (V) at ground level will benefit the developer and not the neighborhood. • The developer will build 31-47 units if the variance is not granted. • We the SCCNPCT are asking for 5%- 50%MFI & 5%-60%MFI for a total of 10 units out of 95 units. • We feel that the community is handing over a zoning request, while the developers are not willing to give anything back to the community, therefore, we are unable to support the variance request. • We support recommendations that would provide better affordable housing within the 5%- 50%MFI & 5%-60%MFI range. Thank you, Mario Cantu Chair SCCNPCT
