Restrictions from 15+ years ago limit leasing opportunities and no longer reflect market needs. Updates will expand allowable uses, attract tenants, and align with today’s standards.

08 C14-2025-0060 - AE Medical & Retail Rezone; District 6 - Opposition Letter — original pdf
August 18, 2025 Dear Members of the Planning Commission, I am writing as Principal of Stepping Stone School Lakeline to express strong opposition to zoning case C14-2025-0060 and the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant under C14-2008-0224 (RCT). Stepping Stone School has proudly served families in Austin for 45 years, and our presence in this neighborhood for more than 35 years has been central to our mission of providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for young children. I urge the City of Austin and the Planning Commission to deny these requests. Our school located on Hymeadow educates and cares for children daily, and our families depend on the surrounding neighborhood to support that mission. The proposed changes raise serious concerns: • Effort to void a legally binding agreement: The restrictive covenant in question was created through a negotiated agreement with the city and community stakeholders. Allowing it to be voided would weaken the reliability of such legal protections and suggest that even formally established covenants can be disregarded for convenience, setting a concerning precedent for future developments. • Removal of existing zoning safeguards: This would allow disruptive commercial uses, such as 24-hour operations, group homes, indoor entertainment venues, and general restaurants, next to our schools and homes of families we serve. These businesses are incompatible with the environment necessary for young children to thrive. • Elimination of the protective green buffer: The buffer is a vital safeguard, providing a physical and visual shield from noise, traffic, and other disruptions. Children play outside daily and walk to and from school with their families, and removing this protection would expose them to unnecessary risks and distractions. • Introduction of uses like group homes and residential treatment facilities: These could increase transient activity near our schools, raising serious safety concerns for children and families who trust us to provide a secure environment. The neighborhood already faces challenges—including increased incidents of people working on vehicles in residential areas—that impact safety, noise, and traffic. Approving these zoning changes would only exacerbate these issues, disrupting the calm, family- friendly environment essential for early childhood development. 08 C14-2025-0060 - AE Medical & Retail Rezone; District 61 of 3 These zoning protections were established through meaningful community engagement to safeguard the neighborhood’s character and safety. There is no compelling reason to reverse them now. As a principal who cares deeply for the children, families, and staff …

ZONING & PLANNING COMMISSION PRESENTATION AE MEDICAL & RETAIL ZONING AMENDMENT (C14-2008-0224 (RCT)) Applicant: Tisha Ritta 2 PROPERTY/PROJECT DETAILS Property Address:13642 Research Blvd Legal Description: CATHYVILLE SUB, Lot 1, Lot Size: 4.363 acres Zoning: GR-CO (Tract One) GO-Co (Tract Two) Land Uses: Medical, Office, Retail, Restaurant and Personal Improvement ZONING REQUEST 3 Request to terminate restrictive covenant adopted in 2010. The current restrictive covenant places two main limitations on the property: • Business hours limited to 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. • Landscaped buffers along residential property lines. Business Hours Restriction Current covenant limits operations to 7 a.m.–10 p.m. Restricts businesses such as: Private tutoring centers Sleep clinics Coffee shops Many viable tenants turned away due to hours restriction. Request: Remove limitation to allow flexible hours that fit with the center’s character and community needs. 5 Landscaped Buffers • Covenant requires vegetative buffers along residential edges. • Phase 1 construction: buffers installed for 11 residential lots (northeast). • Updated plan: approved for southwest side (includes only 1 residential property, under same ownership). • Owner intends to maintain buffers to protect and add value for Lot 20 (13608 Caldwell Dr). • City may carry this requirement into updated zoning ordinance (Case C14-2025-0060). • Buffers also enforced during site plan process. Summary & Commitment • Request removes outdated restrictions that limit viable tenants. • Buffers will remain in place through zoning ordinance and site plan enforcement. • Goal: Attract quality tenants that provide valuable services to the community. • Maintain compatibility with neighborhood while ensuring site remains successful long-term. NEIGHBORHOOD BUFFER 7 8 CLOSING STATEMENT Our goal is to update outdated restrictions while maintaining neighborhood protections. • Flexible hours → broaden tenant options. • Buffers → preserved and enforced. • Supports long-term growth of the center and community. Thank you for your time and consideration. THANK YOU Tisha Titta 512-937-0073 Tisha@permitpartnerstx.com

03 C14-2025-0054 - Rezoning of Lot 31 Block A - Public Comment Part 3 — original pdf
From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Annalynn Cox Sirwaitis, Sherri; Carl Swanson Re: Zoning Commission - Case number: C14-2025-0054 Tuesday, August 19, 2025 2:15:02 PM image001.png External Email - Exercise Caution Sure, Ms Sirwaitis, this is what I submitted on that page: Case number: C14-2025-0054 -- I strongly oppose any rezoning or change to this property beyond its current designation. Many of the surrounding homes are in a neighborhood known as The Forest. Most of these homes were built around 1999, and a large majority still have their original owners. This stability is a testament to the neighborhood’s appeal, character, and community ties. Rezoning would negatively affect the overall neighborhood. It would alter the established look and feel, potentially encouraging incompatible uses and developments. Such changes risk eroding the character that residents have valued for decades. A zoning change could also increase traffic, strain parking availability, and overburden existing roads. Several neighbors have expressed particular concern about the sewer and stormwater systems. Heavy rains already push these systems to their limits, with drains backing up and flooding cul-de-sacs and roads. Any additional development, especially with more impervious surfaces, would likely worsen runoff and flooding risks. Environmental impacts are also a serious concern. Additional construction would mean a loss of green space, mature trees, and natural shade. These changes could contribute to increased heat, reduced biodiversity, and further stormwater issues. Rezoning could reduce nearby property values by introducing denser housing and creating a perception of overdevelopment. This may make the neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. Furthermore, approving this request could set a precedent for similar rezoning applications, leading to further erosion of the area’s character. For these reasons, I respectfully request that this rezoning proposal be denied. 03 C14-2025-0054 - Rezoning of Lot 31 Block A - The Forest Section One at The Villages of Spicewood; District 61 of 2 Annalynn Cox 11509 Herb Cove, Austin, TX, 78750 512-762-7455 -- 03 C14-2025-0054 - Rezoning of Lot 31 Block A - The Forest Section One at The Villages of Spicewood; District 62 of 2
