The Commission recommends City Council receive a formal briefing from Rally Austin to consider how its multi-purpose local government corporation model can: • Implement programs that secure affordable creative and cultural, residential and commercial spaces; • Expand the Austin Cultural Trust and related initiatives supporting music and arts venues; • Reduce risk and administrative burden to the City through independent, community-driven project delivery; and • Strengthen Austin’s long-term economic and cultural resilience by investing in local, iconic, legacy and irreplaceable assets.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Mixed Use/Office land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use/Office land use. Although the future land use map shows Single Family land use to the north and east of the property, the underlying zoning of those tracts are LO-MU-NP and LO- CO-NP. The applicant’s request for LO-MU-CO-NP zoning with Mixed Use/Office land use is appropriate in this location. The Govalle/Johnston Terrace plan desires to keep single family zoning, but it also supports a balanced and varied land uses that encourages a mixed of residential and commercial uses within walking distances to each other. 04 NPA-2025-0016.01 - P & P .72; District 32 of 23 04 NPA-2025-0016.01 - P & P .72; District 33 of 23 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 23, 2025: Applicant Postponement Request to October 28, 2025. October 28, 2025: Applicant Postponement Request to November 13, 2025. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently one single family home constructed in approximately 1946. To the east of the site is undeveloped land. To the south of the site are three single family homes constructed between approximately 1928 and 1946, and three duplexes constructed between approximately 1945 and 1958. To the west of the site (across Shady Lane) is an approximately 135,000 square foot two-story school constructed in approximately 1957, the Anita Ferrales Coy Facility, formerly known as the John T. Allan Facility. This property was rezoned through C14-2024-0019.SH, see area case histories below. To the north of the site is one two-story industrial building of approximately 22,000 square feet and one warehouse of approximately 8,000 square feet, both constructed in approximately 2015. The subject tract is approximately 1,200 feet southeast of the Springdale Station Imagine Austin Activity Center. The tract is also approximately 300 feet west of Airport Boulevard an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor. 05 C14-2025-0073 - P & P .72; District 31 of 11 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The request would allow for reasonable use of the subject tract. There is parking for the United Association Plumbers & Pipefitters Local #286 immediately to the north of the subject tract. While the area has been traditionally single family in nature there are more intense uses along Airport Boulevard and there is a substantial redevelopment planned across Shady Lane. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. In 2001 the property adjoining the subject tract to the east sought a rezoning from SF-3 to GR and was granted LO (see area case histories section below). Granting this request would result in an equal treatment …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is located approximately 300 feet from the west side IH-35 and is on the north side of E. 38th Street. The surrounding land uses are Mixed Use/Office land use to the north, Mixed Use to the east, and Single Family land use to the west. With the expansion of the IH-35, a section of the block to east of the property has been condemned for the highway expansion. Transitioning properties that are near the expansion of IH-35 to Mixed Use/Office could serve as a buffer between the Mixed Use land use and development to the east and the Single Family land use to the west of properties along Harmon Avenue. Staff believes the Applicant’s request for Mixed Use/Office land use is appropriate for this location. The Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan states the desire to preserve the single family land uses in the Hancock area. Staff believes because of the changing nature of the area transitioning this tract to Mixed Use/Office is appropriate. 06 NPA-2025-0019.03 - 1012 E 38th; District 92 of 30 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities Purpose 1.

This included development of code amendments to support transit in May of 2024 (Ordinance No. 20240516-005), including creation of the ETOD combining district (restrictions on non-transit supportive uses) and the DBETOD combining district (allowing residential use, and relaxing some development standards including increased height in exchange for income-restricted housing). Properties within one half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions were included within this overlay, and certain properties were rezoned through a City-initiated process to include the ETOD and DBETOD combining districts. Further, properties rezoned with DBETOD combining district were categorized into Subdistrict 1 (maximum allowable height of 120 feet) or Subdistrict 2 (maximum allowable height of 90 feet), generally based on property distance of ¼-mile or ½-mile from the Phase 1 alignment, respectively. However, that rezoning process did not modify any base district zoning or any combining district zoning, which is the subject of this request.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for High Density Mixed Use because it will provide more housing in the planning area and the city. The area has been growing over the years with the Q2 Stadium and the McKalla Rail Station. Council signed resolution 20230504-020 which directed staff to initiate amendments to the North Burnet/Gateway Vision Plan recognizing the area’s growth. Transitioning the property to High Density Mixed Use is consistent with the development of the area. Below are some of the North Burnet/Gateway Plan Goals that staff believes supports the applicant’s request: ONE: Transform the aging, auto-oriented commercial and industrial uses into a livelier mixed-use neighborhod that is more pedestrian- and transit-friendly and can accommodate a significant number of new residents. a. Create a dense and vibrant “town center” with an urban form and uses less reliant on the automobile. This means creating a concentration of interrelated uses that provide for a range of activities to occur in close proximity to transit. b. b. Achieve a balance of jobs, houses, retail, open space and community facilities. The essence of a mixed-use area is that it allows for opportunities to live, work, and play within the same area. c. Enable opportunities for transit- oriented development based on the presence of both the Capital Metro and the potential Austin-San Antonio Inter-municipal Rail District (currently Union Pacific) commuter rail line. d. Enable redevelopment and adaptive reuse while accommodating existing uses. Recognize that the auto-oriented uses will be less appropriate and could be reformatted to …
