BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use because the property is approximately 0.08 miles from South Congress Avenue which is designated as an activity corridor in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. South Congress Avenue has Metro Rapid bus operating on it and is proposed for a future light rail line. South Congress Avenue is an active commercial corridor and serves as a major north/south transportation corridor. The applicant is proposing a 64-unit, 100% income-restricted affordable housing development. The proposed development will help meet the Strategic Housing Blueprint’s goal to build 135,000 affordable housing units throughout the City, especially in high- opportunity areas such as this location. 0.08 miles from S. Congress Ave – Activity Corridor with public transportation and proposed light rail. Below are sections of the Greater South River City Combined Neighborhood Plan that could apply to this development. Staff is aware that the plan states single-family and multifamily construction should be compatible with surrounding single-family homes which the neighborhood has stated the proposed development does not. However, the neighborhood plan also wants to preserve housing affordability and wants to increase the diversity of housing options, which we believe the proposed development achieves. Since the neighborhood plan was approved by City Council in 2005, the City has adopted the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (2012), and the Growth Concept Map (2012) that designated activity centers and corridors where density could be accommodated. In addition, the City Council adopted the Strategic Housing Blueprint (2017) to help address the severe …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0010.SH (Rowen Vale) DISTRICT: 9 ADDRESS: 206 and 206 ½ East Annie Street; 1710 Brackenridge Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-3-NP SITE AREA: approximately 0.90 acres (approximately 39,204 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: South Austin Christian Church AGENT: Rowen Vale, LLC CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko, AICP 512-974-1057 jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting multi-family residence (medium density) – neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 14, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 5, 2026: City Council approved a Resolution of Support for 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits on the subject tract, exhibit D below May 21, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by City Council. ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: The applicant proposes to develop a 64-unit fully affordable housing development that includes 44 units with two or more bedrooms and 36 deeply affordable units, at or below 50% Median Family Income (MFI). According to the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint Scorecard these types of units have been particularly challenging for the City of Austin to realize. Being able to provide deeply affordable units approximately one mile south of Downtown Austin in a n environment with many transportation choices can help reduce low- and moderate-income households’ t ransportation costs by reducing automobile dependency. Coupling af fordable housing with an on-site da ycare facility, if also affordable, may also reduce a household’s childcare costs and be transformative financially. The development has received a Resolution of Support f r o m City Council (exhibit D) and a S.M.A.R.T. Housing Certification letter from Austin Housing (exhibit H). Austin Housing has stated that 07 C14-2026-0010.SH - Rowen Vale; District 91 of 187 the development intends to submit a request for Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA) funding, although they have not received that application yet. The applicant has also indicated that they plan to utilize Affordability Unlocked, which is a development bonus program for affordable housing providers that offers substantial waivers of development regulations in exchange for high percentages of income-restricted affordable units. The applicant revised their original request of MF-4-NP to MF-3-NP on March 13, 2026, responsive to community feedback. The subject tract is located within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. There is a valid petition on …
07 C14-2026-0010.SH - Rowen Vale; District 9129 of 187 Incompatibility: MF-3 Zoning allows O-SDA to construct a building that, with the bonuses from Affordability Unlocked, could be as high as 60 feet, and thus is the functional equivalent of MF-5. The building will start less than 20' from the backyards of the houses on the south side of East Milton St. (14' alley +5' setback). City maps suggest that the lots for these single family houses run east- west. They do not. They run north-south. The proposed development is not going up in our side yards (we are very accustomed to houses sited very close together); it is looming over our backyards. The building will be 20 feet from the closest house, and between 50 and 70 feet from the other houses on the south side of East Milton St. Multiple stories of apartments will be looking down into our yard, destroying our privacy, and adding light from apartments, the garage, and security. In mid-winter, the parts of our backyards that are less than 20' from the back fence will receive no sunlight at all. I recognize that there are other MF-3 lots in our neighborhood adjacent to SF-3 housing. But these multi-family units were built according to the City's Zoning principles and were not constructed with the exemptions and multipliers that Affordability Unlocked provides. None so changed the nature of their neighbors' homes. You can see the effects of this proposed development in the attached images. Image 1 shows our current yard, shot from our back deck. The proposed building will be at least 5' closer to our yard than the existing gray church. A three-story building will be approximately the height of the utility pole; a five-story, 50' building will be the height of the trees. Figure 2 shows the projected view of a person standing immediately inside our back door (made with CAD, to scale; please ignore the blocking on top of the fence but imagine windows!). As you can see, even a three-story building constructed so close to the property line, without the usual zoning requirements for setbacks, sightlines, and compatibility, will block any view of the sky from the back of our house as well as from the houses of our East Milton St. neighbors. These proposed changes to Zoning and to the Neighborhood Plan, if granted, will establish a precedent throughout neighborhoods in Austin. …

(Richard Weiss) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting CS-MU-CO-NP on tract 1 and LO-MU-CO-NP on tract 2. The conditional overlay would be modified on tract 1 to allow the following 20 uses: - Administrative and business offices - Communications service facilities - Consumer convenience services - Financial services - General retail sales (convenience) - Indoor sports and recreation - Medical offices (> 5,000 square feet) - Personal services - Restaurant (limited) - Software development - Business or trade school - Communications services - Equipment repair services - Food sales - General retail sales (general) - Medical offices (< 5,000 square feet) - Personal improvement services - Professional office - Restaurant (general) - Veterinary services The conditional overlay would be modified on tract 1 to conditionally allow the following use: - Commercial off-street parking For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 14, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD 08 C14-2026-0017 - 55 N I-35; District 31 of 12 ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: As noted in the applicant’s summary letter (see Exhibit C) staff did find evidence that there may have been a mapping error when the subject tract was last zoned, circa 2000. The CS base district zoning most likely should have been closer to I-35 to the west, descending in intensity to LO base district zoning to the east. However, it appears the less intense LO base district zoning was mapped closer to I-35 and the CS base district zoning to the east. While the question to rezone 1104 and 1106 Lambie Street is not currently on the table, granting this rezoning request would restore this property to appropriately transition, more intense zoning closer to the freeway and less intense to the east, further away from I-35. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a vacant two-story medium-sized office building with a large surface parking lot. It is located at the northeast corner …

It currently contains two very large holes in 09 C14-2026-0004 - Springdale Farm Follow-Up; District 31 of 18 the ground from a mothballed previous development effort. The applicant is not seeking to change the zoning, only to amend a condition of zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The subject tract is approximately 500 feet from East 7th Street which is part of the ASMP transit priority network and an Imagine Austin Corridor. It is also along Springdale Road which is an Imagine Austin Corridor. It is also approximately 100 feet from the Springdale Station Imagine Austin Center. City Council has adopted plans such as the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint, Austin Climate Equity Plan, and Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) which aim to increase housing supply and promote a mix of uses to provide more opportunities to walk, bike, or take transit. This proposed zoning change would be consistent with those goals and objectives within those Council adopted plans. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the …

The 2016 East Austin Historic Survey recommended this over 140-year-old property for every possible designation, including as a City of Austin landmark. Its distinctive National Folk style and high integrity convey a sense of Austin history that is rare and quickly vanishing. The working-class people who lived here embody the stories of so many Austinites who, despite inequity and segregation, nurtured lives and communities of their own making. The Historic Landmark Commission fairly recommended that only the front two rooms, the oldest parts of the building, be zoned historic. This would leave more than half of the lot available for infill development, including through the Preservation Bonus created by City Council as part of the HOME ordinance. Preservation does not have to be a zero- sum game, and we believe that this property holds immense potential for both preservation and future development. Designating the Nitschke-Versea-Goins House affirms our values as a city–that these people are worth remembering, and these stories are worth preserving. Thank you for 12 C14H-2026-0013 - Nitschke-Versea-Goins House1 of 29 your consideration and your service to the City of Austin.

• The Montopolis-Fairway Mixed Use Zoning & FLUM Case is a clear example of Environmental Racism. Montopolis is a predominantly low- income community with a majority of people of color. • Montopolis families are being squeezed out by luxury & unaffordable apartments. Thes new Apartments do not serve families. The majority of over 3,744 apartment units are 1- or 2- bedroom units. The Montopolis-Fairway Mix Use Case is currently zoned SF-3-GR- NP. The Montopolis-Fairway Mix Use case is a developers speculation case and here is the evidence: • On February 21, 2024 it was presentd as CS-MU-V-NP. • On May 17th, 2024, it was then presented as CS-DB90-NP • On September 19, 2025 is was presented as GR-V-NP • On January 22, 2026 is presented as GR-V-DB90-NP • We know where fundamental change is most urgently needed. Montopolis already has the highest concentration of multifamily, commercial and industrial zoning of any planning area in the city. Our green spaces, like our single-family zoning, are precious and limited. Help us to protect our families and our community by opposing clearly incompatible and unwelcome development.

Additional Backup Information: Working in conjunction with Austin Resource Recovery (ARR), Austin Energy issued a Request for Proposals in October 2025 for utility scale solar power to be located at the closed City of Austin FM 812 Landfill. Offers resulting from the solicitation provided Austin Energy with competitively priced options for a power purchase agreement and the opportunity to progress toward its local solar capacity goal in the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035. In addition, as a local resource, the agreement will provide wholesale price risk mitigation to the Austin Energy Load Zone. The FM 812 Landfill began operations in the 1960’s. The facility originally operated as a Type I landfill, accepting municipal solid waste until the opening of the Austin Bergstrom International Airport in May 1999. The airport is approximately one mile north-northwest of the landfill. Between 1999 and 2009, the landfill operated as a Type IV landfill, accepting only certain types of waste such as brush and construction debris. In April 2009, the landfill filed a Final Closure Plan with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and commenced construction of a final cover system to cover the former landfill space while providing adequate stormwater drainage of the site. ARR’s Zero Waste Comprehensive plan includes a long-term goal to identify alternative uses for the FM812 landfill, such as renewable energy generation. A closed landfill is a candidate for ground-mounted solar for practical and environmental reasons. The land is generally large, open and already cleared …

Additional Backup Information: In February 2025, Austin Energy issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for agreements for locally sited battery storage assets. Offers resulting from the solicitation provided Austin Energy with battery tolling proposals and the opportunity to progress toward a local battery storage capacity goal of 125 megawatts (MWs) or more in the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035. In July 2025, City Council approved a battery storage agreement for a 100 MW, four-hour duration utility scale installation at a single site in the Austin Energy load zone resulting from this RFP.
