ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: SF-3 DISTRICT: 3 CASE: C14-2024-0119 (South Center Street) ADDRESS: 905 South Center Street ZONING FROM: MH SITE AREA: .3148 acres (13,712.69 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: AJWC Holdings LLC AGENT: Jayson Reese Laipenieks CASE MANAGER: Beverly Villela (512-978-0740, Beverly.Villela@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-3, Family Residence District, zoning. See the Basis of Recommendation section below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 7, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently zoned mobile home residence (MH) district and contains an uninhabited mobile home residence on the lot. The surrounding properties are primarily zoned family residence (SF-3) district and developed with single-family and duplex residences. To the south, there is an AISD elementary school and limited office (LO) zoning), while the west and east are predominantly single-family residential uses. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting to zone the property family residence (SF-3) district zoning to allow for the development of up to three residential units. Staff is recommending SF-3 zoning, as it aligns with the purpose of the district and maintains compatibility with surrounding residential uses. The applicant is in agreement with the staff recommendation. C14-2024-0119 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single- family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single- family residential development standards. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The surrounding properties are predominantly zoned family residence (SF-3) district zoning and developed with single-family and duplex residential uses. Rezoning this site to SF-3 maintains compatibility with the established neighborhood character and zoning pattern. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. Rezoning this lot to family residence (SF-3) district aligns with the established zoning pattern in the surrounding areas, where SF-3 zoning is predominant.

7304 KNOX LANE Carter Design Associates (CDA) was retained to review existing research and the residential structure located at 7404 Knox Lane, Austin, Texas. The review was to determine whether the structure met the criteria for historic zoning by the City of Austin. On September 19th, 2024 CDA met on site with the Owner to assess the historic merits of the primary residence and if the criteria were met was there an intact historic structure that could be relocated onsite. The residential structure consists of multiple additions and modifications made by the Knox family throughout their lifetime and ownership of the property. All findings and hypotheses are based on visual observation and research limited to mapping, photographs (contemporary and historic) and written accounts. The original intent of CDA’s review concerned the historic criteria and how, if at all, the structure met the stated criteria. The history of the property suggested that the building had been modified, and there might be an “original” historic building that would better meet the criteria. Our work was to uncover this historic structure and determine how it could be relocated on the site. Findings The site visit forced a revision of the working hypotheses 1. The residence had been radically modified over time and what appeared to the historic features were actually constructed with replica materials. 2. The site/land is just as important as the residential structure 3. The outbuildings better tell the story of the Knox family, based on historic accounts. Today, the residence is a L-shaped plan with a two-story portion to the East; a curved, wrap around covered porch to the Southeast; enclosed shed-roofed porch to the West; and an early one-room addition to the South. Most of the exterior finishes such as the roof, board and batten siding, doors, windows, screens, siding, shutters and trim are modern construction and/or replacements. The finishes do not reflect an historic photo (See Photo X -) which appears to be the South façade of the residence, nor is there any of the (olive-green) stucco mentioned on page 71 of the Austin Originals – Chats with Colorful Characters by Robyn Turner. Many of the interior finishes have been replaced with modern materials chosen for aesthetic reasons by the Owners and intended to reflect an older rustic style. (Exhibit C) Using historical aerial photos, we can begin to put to piece together the evolution of the residence …

Update On The Knox Preserve Margaret Thomas Knox passed January 20, 2022 allowing the development of the Knox Preserve subdivision to proceed. We’ve had several past articles in the newsletter on Mrs. Knox so I won't dive into her history here. But briefly for context, her husband James Knox inherited the property from his parents. His father, Capt. Warren Penn Knox, was prominent in Boy Scouting in Texas, acquired the property and after WWII started Running Rope Boys Ranch. Barring a thorough deed search, by 1946 the newspaper reports "W.P. Knox" buying the 184 acre property (The Austin American, 26 Apr 1946, Fri, Page 20). By 1947 Running Rope Ranch is up and running in the news. The farmstead (a core house that was extended over the years; out buildings; cleared fields) is extant in the 1937 aerials of Travis County that have recently become available. An oral interview of Margaret Knox for the book Austin Originals, 1982, puts the farmhouse at ca. 1900 at least. Based on the history of this area, could the property be older? Maybe. For example, Esperanza School, which was above Spicewood Springs, was a one room log cabin started in 1866 serving this area.1 The school was less than a mile from the Knox Preserve. Old aerial photos seem to indicate an older entrance to the property may have been off of Spicewood Springs Rd. not far from the school. Could the property be that old? We don’t know without a lot more research, but from the history of the school …

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(ii) Historical Associations. The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, businesses, or events of historical importance that contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation or represents a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time. The property is most recently associated with the Knox family and Running Rope Ranch. The farmstead may have an earlier association with the Spicewood Springs settlement served by Esperanza School. The ranch complex at Knox Lane and Running Rope Lane, known as 7304 or 7306 Knox, was constructed in the early twentieth century—as early as 1900 according to an interview with long-time owner Margaret Knox1—and augmented heavily by the Knox family in the 1940s and later. Located less than a mile from the original site of the Esperanza School,2 now located at Zilker Park, the farmstead was part of the rural Spicewood Springs community.3 The land was purchased in the 1930s by …

The home, which I have been in, was hand built and has unique features including its layout and narrow staircase to the second story. It’s important that we protect places that remind us of our shared history. The land used to be a boys’ camp and today is the habitat of many deer, armadillo, foxes, opossums, and hawks. I’m sure there are many more species there; has there been an environmental study to be certain that these rare seven acres aren’t home to any endangered animals?

Allowing important common cultural sites to be disturbed and destroyed so outside financiers can squeeze maximum profit out of a site cannot be what the City of Austin is about. A detailed study of the property needs to be conducted. These concerns must be addressed. The developer has made no effort to meet with residents to discuss this. They have, instead, hurried this agenda forward right after the holidays with minimal notice to residents. Thank you for your consideration.

From: To: Subject: Date: Meghan Ellington Contreras, Kalan Knox Lane zoning and development plans. Monday, January 6, 2025 5:42:14 PM You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To whom it may concern: I’m writing in regards to the Knox Lane zoning and development plan. My name is Meghan Ellington and my family lives on Spurlock, directly affected by the traffic from Running Rope. We have three kids, 10, 7 and 4, who constantly use our driveway, yard and adjacent street as a place to safely play. There are young children all up and down our street. There are no sidewalks on our street and all of these children regularly ride bikes and visit neighbors. Most of them also walk to school at Doss Elementary and walk home from school. We are all firmly opposed to the proposal from the developer to build up to 20 units on the historic and environmentally sensitive Knox property. Our opposition is based largely on three points: (1) The developer intends to use a single, short cul de sac as the sole entry and exit for 20 residences (including ADUs), which could conservatively mean 40 vehicles. Knox Lane is a short cul de sac, perhaps 50 yards long. The developer has not conducted a traffic study to my knowledge. The developer has continually increased the number of planned units for the space, without regard to the effects that these vehicles will have on the neighborhood and the environment. The increased traffic will be dangerous to the children in the neighborhood, bad for the many heritage trees adjoining Knox Lane, and detrimental to the area at large. (2) As was discussed previously at the historical commission meeting, the Knox property includes a spring fed pool (it has been estimated there may be up to 6 springs), which are believed to house an endangered salamander. To our knowledge, the developer has not conducted any hydrological study purporting to examine the impact that paving a massive portion of this property (the developer plans to put a private drive in where now there is open ground) will have on recharge zones for these springs or the endangered species inhabiting them. This type of groundwater is scarce natural resource, one that every citizen has an interest in protecting. No development should occur without an examination of the impact on the watershed …
