RESOLUTION NO. 20220609-061 WHEREAS, protecting our environment is the foundation for sustaining our planet, community, and economy; and WHEREAS, the City ofAustin's "State of Our Environment: 2020 Annual Report," showed that creeks in the Desired Development Zone scored on average 10 points lower than those in the Drinking Water Protection Zone; and WHEREAS, the Drinking Water Protection Zone designation located on the west side of Austin has restricted development through regulations creating positive environmental outcomes, while the Desired Development Zone, located in Central and East Austin, has more permissive regulations that have resulted in some negative outcomes; and WHEREAS, properties located in the Desired Development Zone have more permissive development regulations with regard to the size of creek buffers, impervious cover limits, cut and fill, and construction on slopes; and WHEREAS, extensive empirical literature links exposure to nature with better health, and creeks provide city-wide opportunities to experience nature; and WHEREAS, current code allows for structures such as in-channel detention basins and concrete wastewater manholes to be placed in creeks, which can cause erosion and other severe, often long-lasting consequences that can be expensive to reverse; and WHEREAS, the City is faced with the existing and growing threat of industrial discharges that can negatively impact creeks and communities located primarily on the east side of the City of Austin; and Page 1 of 10 WHEREAS, there has been a steady increase in the amount of land area in Austin covered by impervious surfaces and a corresponding steady decrease in the amount of pervious land area capable of absorbing rainfall; and WHEREAS, one result of the historically high rates of development is a rise in the amount of runoff that flows off-site from developed properties and into older, undersized stormwater drain systems, creeks, rivers, and lakes, contributing to increases in flooding severity, damage to private property, loss of life, and water pollution; and WHEREAS, currently City Code allows redeveloped sites to use existing impervious cover as a baseline for drainage calculations, resulting in increased runoff and contributing to flooding and erosive flows downstream; and WHEREAS, increasing density reduces sprawl and thereby reduces traffic congestion, pollution, and development of open spaces and agricultural; and WHEREAS, a U.S. Geological Survey study found that using green stormwater infrastructure for water quality provided enhanced mitigation of peak flows and run-off volumes compared to large, detention-based stormwater control practices; and WHEREAS, the Watershed Protection Department "Master …
Summary of Proposed Code Changes Related to Resolution 20220609‐061 8/17/2022 Code Section Type of Change Current Status/Concern Proposed Improvement Benefits Chapter 25‐2, Zoning ‐ Article 9, Landscaping 1 25‐2‐981 Applicability; Policy Exceptions Existing landscaping requirements do not apply to lots zoned Central Business District (CBD) or Downtown Mixed Use (DMU). Require that lots zoned CBD or DMU meet the new Functional Green requirements (described below). Additional ecosystem services brought to downtown projects. 2 25‐2‐1007 Parking Policy Lots Parking lot islands are typically surrounded by a 6" curb that prevents stormwater from flowing into the landscape area. Increases beneficial use of stormwater and reduces irrigation needs by directing stormwater into areas that are typically required to provide on‐site irrigation. 3 25‐2‐1008 Irrigation Policy Requirements Simplified design requirements and reduced cost. 4 Functional Green Policy Landscape requirements are calibrated to provide ecosystem services in highly urbanized locations. Require parking lot islands to have an edge‐of‐pavement treatment that allows overland flow of stormwater into the landscape area. Allow exceptions for areas that are not required to drain to a stormwater control and sites located in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Remove existing irrigation requirements and replace with simplified requirement to remove barriers to overland flow into parking lot islands (described above). Create a new approach to landscape requirements to provide ecosystem services in highly urbanized locations. The existing requirement to irrigate 50% of the required landscape area with stormwater has proven problematic and difficult to implement. Sites with high impervious cover have few landscape requirements and therefore provide minimal ecosystem services.

Improves review process and clarifies intent of regulations. Bulkhead wave abatement requirements are currently located in the zoning chapter of the Land Development Code, which is inappropriate. Chapter 25‐5, Site Plans 6 25‐5‐3 Small Projects Policy Small‐scale multifamily residential projects must go through a longer, more expensive permitting process than single‐family residential projects with the same percent impervious cover. Allow multifamily residential projects with up to 11 units, or more if allowed under a qualifying Affordability Unlocked project, to follow the Small Project site plan process if they meet certain conditions. Fewer review …

ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 16, 2022: August 2, 2022: MEETING CANCELLED; RESCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 16, 2022 July 19, 2022: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT TO AUGUST 2, 2022 [H. SMITH; D. KING – 2ND] VOTE: 7-0. C. Acosta, N. Barrera-Ramirez, A. Denkler, and R. Woody – Absent CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: During its regular meeting of July 19, 2022, members of the Zoning and Platting Commission indicated that they had potential concerns over the proposal given Chapter 25-4- 134 (Hazardous Pipelines), located within the Subdivision section of the City of Austin’s Land Development Code. In particular, concerns were presented that the proposal would potentially violate Chapter 25-4-134 by rezoning the subject property to SF-6, as the property would be less than one acre in size after the exclusion of the restricted pipeline area. 31 of 17 C14-2022-0067 Page 2 Staff was able to confirm that LDC Chapter 25-4-134 only applies to proposed subdivisions within the city limits. The proposal does not include a subdivision of the property, and the applicant has indicated that they do not intend to resubdivide the property in order to construct the seven units intended for the site. Furthermore, the existing property is a platted lot; the subdivision plat (C8-2016-0002.0A) has been included with the backup to this report. As such, the subject site was originally subdivided in 2016, but the code section in question was adopted in 2003. Staff was unable to find any subsequent notations or variances to LDC Chapter 25-4-134; therefore, it seems that the subdivision was approved in accordance with the adopted code in effect at 2016, which would have included LDC Chapter 25-4-134. Members of the Commission also indicated that they had concerns over potentially rezoning the property from SF-4A-CO to SF-6, as this would remove the conditional overlay currently in effect that restricts cumulative vehicle trips in the area …
