ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0155 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 2103 Oak Valley Road PROPERTY OWNER: Eddie & Leila Mayfield AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: SF-3 SITE AREA: 0.92 acres (40,075 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend Single-Family Residence (Large Lot) (SF-1) zoning district. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 2, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.92 acres, developed with one single family residence, has access to Oak Valley Road (level 1), and is designated interim-rural residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences (I-RR & I-SF-2) to the west, hotel-motel (ETJ) to the south, commercial and bars (ETJ) to the north, south, and east and mobile home residences (I-RR) to the north. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant and owner agree with the staff’s recommendation and are seeking a permanent zoning to allow the use of a bed and breakfast on the property. Staff is recommending single- family residence (large lot) (SF-1) zoning district because there are environmental constraints on the site that would need to limit the impervious cover and building coverage of future development. 1 of 1003 C14-2023-0155 - 2103 Oak Valley Rd; District 5 C14-2023-0155 2 Per the Watershed Protection Department, there are significant flood risks to private properties and homes downstream of this location. The additional impervious cover on this lot would, in part with other development/redevelopment in the area, exacerbate this flood risk. Based upon the city of Austin’s regulatory floodplain map, the existing building on the property at 2103 Oak Valley Road encroaches in the 100-year floodplain. If the owner proposed to construct additional buildings south of the current building location, they would be well within the 100-year floodplain and would be at significant risk of flooding. The comprehensive plan review comments this site meets four (4) of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site is located within Slaughter Lane Station Neighborhood Center and is 0.20 miles from Slaughter Lane Activity Corridor, is within 0.50 miles from goods/services and a grocery store/farmers market. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single-family residence (large lot) zoning district is intended as an area for low density single-family residential …
