ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0153 DISTRICT: 3 ADDRESS: 1307 and 1309 East 4th Street ZONING FROM: TOD-NP (Live/Work Subdistrict) TO: TOD-NP (TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict) SITE AREA: approximately 0.29 acres (approximately 12,632 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: JLCC Interests, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting transit oriented development-neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning (TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict). See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: Neighborhood postponement request granted to June 11, 2024. June 11. 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is currently Office/Retail/Commercial built in approximately 1920 and 1947. To the north of the subject tract (across East 4th Street) is undeveloped land and a nightclub/bar (the historic Scoot Inn) built in approximately 1912, approximately 2,700 square feet east of the tract is a single-family home built in approximately 1909, of approximately 1,100 square feet. To the south of the subject tract are two newer duplexes and to the west of the subject tract is a single- family home built in approximately 1908, approximately 800 square feet. The subject tract is less than 500 feet from the Plaza Saltillo Red Line Station. The property currently contains zero dwelling units per acre. Target residential densities to support robust fixed-route or dedicated transit in an urban center are within the range of 75 to 150 dwelling units per acre within ½ mile radius of the station area. Without an increase in density, and additional more intense mixed-use development as parcels redevelop within the station area, the CapMetro Red Line and associated connecting bus service may under-perform. C14-2023-0153 2 A review of the subdistrict map within the regulating plan indicated a substantial amount of property zoned TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict on the north side of the station area, much further away from the station area. The TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict is found more than 3 times as far away from the station as the subject tract. This distribution is not uniform and there is not a compelling reason to maintain this distribution given its proximity to the station. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Areas zoned (TOD-NP) TOD Mixed …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use Activity HUB/Corridor because the applicant proposes a mixed use development with 187 rental units, with 3,400 square feet of ground floor commercial uses. West Stassney Lane is an Activity Corridor as identified on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map where mixed use developments are appropriate. The proposed development will provide housing options for the City and the planning area to meet the Austin Strategic Housing Goals. The South Austin combined Neighborhood Plan states that Mixed Use Activity/HUBS are located at major intersections and along arterial roadways. Planning Commission: June 11, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Neighborhood Node - Neighborhood Node districts contain restaurants, shops, offices, and multi- family housing. The form of these areas is similar to Neighborhood Transition districts but with more commercial activity. Neighborhood Nodes have a similar mix of uses as Mixed Use Hubs, but primarily serve residents in the neighborhood. Building heights range from one to two stories (although many locations are zoned for greater height). PROPOSED LAND USE: Mixed Use Activity HUB/Corridor - Located at the intersections of major roadways and along arterial roadways, Mixed-Use Activity Hubs/Corridors are the most urban areas of the neighborhood and serve the surrounding neighborhoods and the broader community. They consist of a mix of services and housing types at a more intensive scale than a Neighborhood Node.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see pages 2 – 4. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 11, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 18, 2024 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zone, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the C14-2024-0033 Page 2 applicant submitted a rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district, in order for the City to continue review of site plan. The property is located within the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan Area (South Manchaca), and the current FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation is Neighborhood Node. A Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) is on file with a request to change FLUM to Mixed Use Activity Hub/Corridor and is proposed to be heard at the June 11, 2024 Planning Commission. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of 2.163 acres and is located on the north side of West Stassney Lane, between Union Pacific Railroad right of way and Radam Circle, within the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan area, specifically South Manchaca. The property is currently developed with Limited warehousing and distribution use, and a childcare service use (CS-V-NP, LR-NP, GR-V-NP, MF-3-NP). To the north are single family residences (MF-2-NP). Across from the site to the south, with frontage on West Stassney Lane is Austin Oaks Hospital site (PUD-NP).

The conditional overlay would prohibit financial services, off-site accessory parking, pedicab storage and dispatch, pet services, printing and publishing, professional office, service station, theater, college and university facilities. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 11, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: Applicant will need to coordinate with the Texas Historical Commission (THC) to determine what kind of work can be done to the building. The Stanley House is on the lot immediately to the west, but it is unclear how far the THC designation boundary extends. Any major work would need to also go through the Landmark Commission if it involves demolition because the main building at 200 West Mary Street was noted as a high priority building in one of the City’s historic surveys. It is possible that the Commission would initiate historic zoning if it is eligible and if the proposed work endangers the building’s ability to convey its significance. The building at 204 West Mary Street is a low priority building. Although the property is zoned as residential, the property has operated as the Herb Bar, a commercial use, since 1986. Prior to 1986, there is also evidence of a retail/food sales use on C14-2023-0021 2 the property since the early 1900’s when it operated as a general store providing groceries to the neighborhood. In 2018, an Amnesty Certificate of Occupancy was issued for the existing retail/food sales uses. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently the Herb Bar that sells herbal products in an approximately 720 square foot building built in approximately 1925. The approximately 1,249 square foot building at 204 West Mary Street was built in approximately 1935 contains Massage Master, a personal service use. To the north is a single-family dwelling built in approximately 1994, approximately …

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for applicant’s request for Major Planned Development land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicants request for Major Planned Development because this 0.56-acre tract is proposed to be included in previously approved planned amendment and zoning cases to be combined for a proposed 21-acre mixed use development. The development is proposed to include clean industrial creative and maker spaces, retail, office, restaurant, and multifamily uses. This area was once proposed for industrial uses but has transitioned over the years to include a mix of uses that will provide services and additional housing for the east side of City. To the south of the property is an opportunity to potentially connect to a future Capital Metro Green Line train station and the opportunity to create a trail connecting to the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt. Sections from the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that staff believes supports the applicant’s request. Goal One: Preserve established residential areas and improve opportunities for home ownership by promoting the rehabilitation of existing housing and new, infill housing compatible with the existing style of this neighborhood. Objective 1.2: Promote new infill housing in appropriate locations. Goal Two: Promote a mix of land uses that respect and enhance the existing neighborhood and address compatibility between residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Objective 2.2: Reduce the impact of commercial and industrial uses on residential areas. Goal Three: Preserve existing small businesses and encourage new neighborhood-serving commercial …

Bojo, AICP) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting limited industrial services-planned development area- neighborhood plan (LI-PDA-NP) combining district zoning. The existing conditional overlay that limited daily vehicle trips to no more than 2,000 per day is recommended for removal. However, TPW recommends a Restrictive Covenant tying this site to the TIA for C14-2020-0150. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 11, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located east of Ed Bluestein Boulevard and north of the proposed Capital Metro Green Line rail right of way. Properties surrounding the subject tract on all sides have recently been rezoned LI-PDA-NP, please see the area case histories section below. The applicant has stated their intent to combine the tracts as one cohesive development, a collective 21-acre mixed use development with clean industrial creative and maker spaces, retail, office, restaurant, and multifamily uses. The site development standards are identical to the development standards already approved with the previous cases; however, the applicant has removed their previous modification requests related to the City’s parking requirements so that the development standards are more in line with the City’s present Code. C14-2024-0021 2 Staff supports this request as it is in line with other rezonings to LI-PDA-NP surrounding the subject tract and would enable the owner to combine the tracts into one cohesive development with standard site development regulations, authorized uses, and prohibited uses.

ADDRESS: 2700 and 2702 Del Curto Road SITE AREA: 0.986 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Mile Earney AGENT: Land Answers, Inc. (Tamara Mitchell) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 11, 2024: May 14, 2024: APPROVED THE APPLICANT’S REQUEST FOR A POSTPONEMENT TO JUNE 11, 2024. [A. AZHAR; A. HAYNES-2ND] (9-0) P. HOWARD, R. JOHNSON, J. MUSHTALER, AND A. WOODS - ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.986 acres, is developed with two (2) residential units and is on the west side of Del Curto Road. The adjacent properties on the north and south are developed with single family homes and townhome residences (SF-3, SF-5-CO & SF-6-CO). To the west, across Del Curto Road, there are single family residences (SF-3). The properties to the west have a restaurant (Matt’s El Rancho), a church and some warehouses. Please refer to Exhibit A (Zoning Map) and Exhibit B (Aerial Exhibit). The parcel is located in the suspended South Lamar neighborhood plan and will not require a future land use map amendment. The site is developed with two residential units and the C14-2024-0022 2 rezoning will allow the applicant to construct approximately seven (7) homes on the parcel, per the attached summary letter (Exhibit C – Applicant’s Summary Letter). Per the comprehensive plan review comments this site meets five (5) of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The property is 0.10 miles from Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor, is within 0.5 miles of goods and services, has sidewalks on Del Curto, and expands the number of housing units that suit a variety of households, incomes, and lifestyle needs of a diverse population. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.
