The applicant agrees to the CO with prohibited uses. This is an approved Affordability Unlocked project (see attached Applicant Summary). Developments that meet the requirements of the Affordability Unlocked Program can be built as a permitted use on any site that is in a commercial base zoning district. The Applicant seeks the CS base zoning district to allow for a mixed use development to include deeply affordable units plus essential services and amenities. In order to realize long-term affordability and provision of essential services, the development also needs to take advantage of the site development standards in CS. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately half an acre (0.58 acres) and is vacant.

Learn why this could be a risk External Email - Exercise Caution Hi Marcelle, I am writing in regard to zoning case C14-2024-0163 located at 1700 S Lamar Blvd; 1401 and 1509 Collier St. I just received the Notice of Public Hearing form from the Planning Department. This case is scheduled for hearing at the Planning Commission on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. I live on Kinney Ave, close to the fire station on Collier St. I have a couple of concerns with the proposed zoning change. My main concern is for the communities that rely on Integral Care services. There are Integral Care offices on the property seeking the rezoning. There is also an Integral Care office on Collier, adjacent to the properties. Integral Care offers services to families, children, individuals with mental illness, and individuals with disabilities. Does the Applicant know if residents of Zilker Studios and the Lamar Square affordable housing area and other residents close by rely on these offices? What will happen to these offices and will the communities I mentioned lose this valuable, walkable-distance resource? It is my understanding that the City is a partner to this organization and they provide essential resources to vulnerable communities. This is very concerning to me. What is the Applicant's plan to mitigate any loss these communities may experience, if any? My other concern is that we currently have at least 4 of these types of projects under construction on South Lamar Blvd. I am concerned about traffic congestion. Will there be a pedestrian stop light or a traffic light on S Lamar and Collier? This is a somewhat walkable area. S Lamar is not completely pedestrian or bike-friendly. We have unsafe, unprotected bike lanes and not enough pedestrian-friendly stop lights for the growth that is happening here. We have two pedestrian stop lights at S Lamar and Kinney, where Black Sheep Lodge and Loro are located, and another at S Lamar and Dickenson Dr, I believe, close to Matt's El Rancho. Would you please provide my email as public comment for when the case is heard? Also - is it okay to email the commission with my comments? Kind Regards, Nicole Corona 04 …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0024– Little Lion DISTRICT: 5 ADDRESS: 2525 South Lamar Boulevard, Suite 15 ZONING FROM: LO-MU-CO TO: GO-MU SITE AREA: 0.0143 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Emirp, LLC (Anusha Vemuri, Manager) AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general office – mixed use– conditional overlay (GO-MU-CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay is subject to following conditions: 1. Vehicular access to Bluebonnet Lane is prohibited until improvements outlined in the memorandum dated April 27, 2005, from the Transportation Review Section of the Watershed Protection and Review Department, are completed. 2. Development of the Property may not exceed 40 residential units. 3. Development of the Property may not exceed 20 residential units per acre. 4. Residential use of the Property may not be less than 60 percent or more than 80 percent of total building square footage. 5. Non-residential use of the Property may not be less than 20 percent or more than 40 percent of total building square footage. 6. Medical office use is a prohibited use of the Property. 7. Exterior lighting must be hooded or shielded so that the light source is not directly visible from adjacent property. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 8, 2025: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 05 C14-2025-0024 - Little Lion; District 51 of 10 C14-2025-0024 Page 2 ISSUES: The Conditional Overlay includes seven standards that were imposed in 2005 during the approval of the mixed-use zoning that developed the existing residential with small commercial retail uses. Staff recommends retaining these as part of this footprint rezoning request. The CO for the original 2005 rezoning case also included a limitation that prohibited a project with greater than 2,000 vehicle trips per day. In general, the City’s Transportation and Public Works Department no longer supports vehicle trip caps as conditional overlays to zoning cases, though it will still be assessed for a site if requested or it seems warranted. The appropriate time to assess a site for transportation impact and mitigation is with the site plan application, when land use and intensity is known, and site access has been finalized. Therefore, for this current request to GO-MU-CO the staff recommendation is to remove the limit on vehicle trips per day. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 622 square feet (or .0143 acres) and is developed with multiple …

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 8, 2025: Case is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: None CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently contains a long covered, fenced, screened temporary garage structure, small 1-story store of approximately 1,400 square feet with approximately 4,300 square feet of paved area. It is located fronting Marathon Boulevard to the west, an ASMP level 1 street. Just across an alley to the east is a small automobile dealership, which fronts Lamar Boulevard to the east. The applicant’s requested zoning already exists on the tract immediately to the south, however there is a conditional overlay on that tract that prohibits drive-through facilities on the property. The parcel immediately to the south does contain off-street parking. It is noted that the subject tract is within the ETOD overlay and is less than 500 feet from two Imagine Austin Corridors: North Lamar Boulevard to the east and Medical Parkway to the west. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. There is off-street parking on tracts immediately to the north and south of the subject tract. Granting this rezoning request on the subject tract for off-street accessory parking would be reasonable in light of off-street parking being present on those tracts. The tract to the north is a two-story office and it 06 C14-2025-0023 - 4109 Marathon; District 101 of 11 C14-2025-0023 2 abuts single family zoned property. The subject tract abuts more intense CS-V-ETOD-DBETOD zoning to the east and properties used as offices to the west, no single-family zoning. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. The applicant’s requested zoning already exists on the tract immediately to the south, however there is a conditional overlay on that tract that prohibits drive-through facilities on the property.
