ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 4 TO: LR-MU-V-CO-NP CASE: C14-2024-0012.SH ADDRESS: 6304 Manor Road ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP SITE AREA: approximately 0.2488 acres (approximately 10,837 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Anmol Mehra AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting neighborhood commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use- conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would prohibit offsite accessory parking, pedicab storage and dispatch, and service station uses. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 property in question is currently undeveloped land. To the north are two duplexes approximately 1,800 square feet each, built in approximately 1969. To the east is a single-family home of approximately 1,700 square feet, built in approximately 1963. To the south (across Manor Road) is a duplex of approximately 1,850 square feet, built in approximately 1969. To the west is a fourplex that is approximately 3,200 square feet built in approximately 1972. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should satisfy a real public need and not provide special privilege to the owner. The proposed zoning would satisfy a real public need of implementing the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan, Imagine Austin. It would promote more intense mixed-use C14-2024-0012.SH 2 development along Imagine Austin Activity Corridors and high frequency transit routes, with the potential for income-restricted affordable housing as part of the redevelopment. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. It is reasonable to allow zoning that is greater than SF-3 along an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor in the walkshed of a high frequency bus route and stop. Maintaining this level of density would not help further Imagine Austin and would result in the investment in public transportation to underperform. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. Manor Road is an ASMP level 3 corridor and an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor that intersects with Springdale Road, also an ASMP level 3 corridor and Imagine Austin Activity Corridor approximately 850 feet east of the subject tract. Manor Road has sidewalks, bicycle lanes and is serviced by the CapMetro high frequency #20 bus route with a …

Plaza Saltillo Station (TOD) Area Plan adopted December 11, 2008 Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 ACTION: CITY COUNCIL DATE: TBD PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024 – (action pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request to change the Land Use and Design Concept map from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing to amend the Land Use and Design Concept Plan map(s) in the Plaza Saltillo TOD Station Area Plan from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use so the project can participate in the Density Plus Height Bonus Program. This program will require the proposed multifamily development to reserve a minimum of 15% of the entire square footage as affordable, on-site units for those earning no more than 50% Medium Family Income (MFI). The current designation as Live/Work Flex does not allow the property to participate in this program. Staff supports the applicant’s request because of the property is located 0.2 miles from the Plaza Saltillo Station where increased density can be supported. The TOD Mixed Use is the highest density designation that will allow for more residential and commercial uses to be developed within ¼-mile of the Plaza Saltillo Station.

See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 Use Subdistrict are located in the closest proximity to transit and …

Staff recommends granting the applicant’s modification request to not provide pedestrian-oriented commercial space. See details on recommendations on following pages. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted a rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. Case number C14-2024-0040 Page 2 The property is located within the Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan Area (East), and the current FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation is Neighborhood Mixed Use. A Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) is on file with a request to change FLUM to Mixed Use and is proposed to be heard at the May 28, 2024 Planning Commission. This site plan is currently on hold in the final review process, as it was submitted pursuant to the Commercial-Residential program (Ordinance No. 20221201-055), and did not require or propose a ground floor commercial use. The DB90 ordinance requires 75% of the ground floor to contain pedestrian-oriented commercial spaces when fronting a principal street, however, the Ordinance also allows for modification to this requirement when the site abuts certain roadways. The site abuts a highway (principal street) and also two suburban roadways, both of which are eligible roadways to request this modification. Staff recommends granting the applicant’s modification request to not provide pedestrian-oriented commercial space. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site is located at W US Hwy 290, Westcreek Drive and Old Fredericksburg Road within the East Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan area. The Property is comprised of a vacant office building consisting of a building that was primarily …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use because the property abuts residential uses to the west with a portion of the site within the flood plain. Staff believes the Neighborhood Mixed use land use will provide some protection to the residential uses by limiting the intensity of the commercial uses allowed on the property. Although there is Mixed Use land use to the east and at the north and south nodes of Berkman Drive and US Hwy 290 and E. 51st Street, the predominate land uses on the western side of Berkman Drive are low-intensity land uses of Single Family and Office/Mixed Use, with one lot of Civic land use for a church. Below are sections from the University Hills/Windsor Park Combined Neighborhood Plan (Windsor Park), which staff believes supports the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Mixed Use/Office - An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and office uses. Purpose 1. Accommodate mixed use development in areas that are not appropriate for general commercial development; and 2. Provide a transition from residential use to non Application ‐ residential or mixed use. 1. Appropriate for areas such as minor corridors or local streets adjacent to commercial areas; 2. May be used to encourage commercial uses to transition to residential use; and Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 3. Provide limited opportunities for live/work residential in urban areas. PROPOSED LAND USE: Mixed Use - An …

The existing conditional overlay, which prohibits the residential use of the tract from exceeding 25 percent of the total square footage of the first floor, would remain. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 currently contains two office buildings, built in approximately 1976 and 1977, approximately 2,400 square feet and 1,200 square feet. To the north is an older two-story apartment complex. To the east (across Berkman Drive) is Windsor Village Berkman – Neighborhood Shopping Center built approximately 1960. To the south are two additional office buildings, built in approximately 1967 and 1973, approximately 2,200 square feet and 1,000 square feet. To the west are two single-family homes, built in approximately 1956 and 1958, approximately 1,600 square feet and 1,400 square feet. C14-2023-0151 2 Berkman Drive is an ASMP level-2 corridor with a buffered bicycle land, sidewalks and transit service. It is not an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor. The subject tract is approximately ½ mile west of Cameron Road which is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor and the eastern bound of the Highland Mall Imagine Austin Activity Center. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff is recommending LR-MU-CO-NP due to the proximity of the single-family homes to the west. The applicant’s requested use is allowed in LR under the restrictions of Section 25-2-587, provided that: 1. The gross indoor floor area may not exceed 4,000 square feet. 2. A restaurant (general) use may operate only after 7:00 a.m. and before 11:00 p.m. 3. An outdoor seating area may not: (a) exceed 500 square feet of area; or (b) be located within 50 feet of property with a single-family use …
