ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0041 (1076 Springdale Road) DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 1076 Springdale Road ZONING FROM: GR-NP TO: GR-V-DB90-NP SITE AREA: approximately 3.28 acres (approximately 142,877 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Artesia Springdale QOZ, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Drew Raffaele) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko, AICP (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting community commercial-vertical mixed use-density bonus 90- neighborhood plan (GR-V-DB90-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted this new rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently an undeveloped lot southeast of the intersection of Oak Springs Drive and Springdale Road. To the north, is Givens District Park, a public park of 40 acres with a pool, fields, courts, and a community center. To the east, (across Springdale Road) are two restaurants (Micklethwait BBQ, Sharks Fish & Chicken), one convenience store (Buddies Market at Springdale), one single family home, and undeveloped land. To the south and west, (across Tannehill Branch Creek) is Springdale Garden Apartments – approximately 100 multifamily apartments in 1-2 story buildings constructed in approximately 1966. 10 C14-2026-0041 - 1076 Springdale Road; District 11 of 17 C14-2026-0041 2 The property is within the ETOD for the Oak Springs Station (MetroRapid Bus). This station is classified as Secure, indicating that affordability should be secured with sensitive development. The applicant is requesting community commercial-vertical mixed use-density bonus 90- neighborhood plan (GR-V-DB90-NP) combining district for a proposed development that would include multi-family units requiring an affordable component. A building constructed under density bonus 90 (DB90) standards allows for a mix of residential uses and commercial uses, and the result is typically retail, restaurants and offices on the ground floor, and residential units on …

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 1,000 feet northeast of the intersection of Springdale Road and East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. It is currently undeveloped apart from an approximately 0.75 acre gravel parking lot. To the north, are approximately 83 multifamily units and 7 townhomes and one single family home. To the east is Fort Branch Creek and on the other side of the creek, 18 single family homes. To the south are two single family homes, one tire shop, one medium-sized warehouse, and one church. To the west across Springdale Road are three single family homes, 19 townhomes, and the Morris Williams public golf course. The site is along Springdale Road and East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, both of which are Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. The site is also approximately ½ mile from the Mueller Imagine Austin Activity Center and the Manor Road and East 51st Street Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. 11 C14-2026-0052 - Springdale Road and East MLK Multifamily Rezoning; District 11 of 16 C14-2026-0052 2 There is high frequency bus service available with route 300 Springdale/Oltorf that has stops in both directions adjacent to the subject tract. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The proposed zoning would support Council’s goals and objectives to increase housing along Imagine Austin Corridors to support transit and provide a range of housing types. This request for MF-4 would allow scaled density with Fort Branch Creek serving as a buffer to the single-family neighborhood to the east. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-80-135(RCT) (Springdale Road and DISTRICT: 1 E. MLK Multifamily -Public RC Termination) ADDRESS: 4613 and 4615 Springdale Road ZONING FROM: SF-6-NP TO: SF-6-NP* (Restrictive Covenant Termination) *Note: there is a concurrent rezoning request (see related cases section below) however this case does not change the zoning, it only terminates the public restrictive covenant described. SITE AREA: approximately 1.28 acres (approximately 55,757 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Austin AGENT: DuBois, Bryant & Campbell, LLP (David Hartman) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko, AICP (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting termination of the restrictive covenant associated with zoning case C14-80-135. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: As stated in the applicant’s summary letter, a public restrictive covenant was recorded on the subject tract on September 26, 1980 (associated with rezoning C14-80-135). That restrictive covenant: 1) limits development of the Property to bicycle shop purpose while zoned GR 2) specifies signage restrictions, and 3) authorizes a “rollback” zoning if bicycle shop use is discontinued 12 C14-80-135(RCT) - Springdale Road and East MLK Multifamily - Public RC Termination; District 11 of 7 This public restrictive covenant can only be modified, amended, or terminated only by joint action by the City Council and the owner of the Property. Staff support this request to terminate the public restrictive covenant because these restrictions are unreasonable by today’s standards. The property has never been utilized as a bicycle shop, signage regulations are codified and standardized in City Code, and rollback zoning through a restrictive covenant is no longer allowed. Granting this request would support the redevelopment of the subject tract with surrounding properties under one cohesive set of development regulations.

BARRERA-RAMIREZ, B. BEDROSIAN, P. BRETON – ABSENT; ONE VACANCY CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. 07 C14-2026-0016 - Wickersham Retail; District 31 of 27 C14-2026-0016 – Wickersham Retail Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 0.11 acres on a 2.037 acre parcel located at the northern corner of the intersection of East Oltorf Street and Wickersham Lane, within 0.2 miles of Pleasant Valley Road, an Imagine Austin Corridor. The site is currently an undeveloped lot that is zoned community commercial, mixed use – conditional overlay (GR- MU-CO) combining district zoning. Both East Oltorf Street and Wickersham Lane are both ASMP Level 3 roadways at this location. All parcels immediately surrounding this location are zoned Low-density Multifamily Residential, Neighborhood combining district (MF-2- NP). These properties are the Monaco Condominiums to the North, Chamonix Condos to the Southwest, Treehouse Apartments to the South, Coppertree Apartments to the Southeast, and the High Point Village Apartments to the East. This property is mostly within the half-mile station areas of the Sheringham stop and Oltorf East stop on the Rapid 800 bus route as well as the one-mile station area of the Pleasant Valley station of CapMetro’s forthcoming Blue Line light rail route, and is also within the equitable transit-oriented development overlay (ETOD) – positioning this property as a strong possible candidate for future ETOD combining district zoning. The intent of the ETOD overlay is to encourage and enhance transit-supportive land uses and facilitate public realm activation through bicycle, pedestrian, and transit connectivity projects. When Phase 1 of the ETOD Overlay was adopted by the Austin City Council in 2024, Austin Planning staff recommended that properties within the overlay area east of Interstate 35 be deferred …

I am writing to respectfully request that the Navasota property agenda item be postponed. The surrounding community has made numerous attempts to meet with Wesley United Methodist Church to discuss the proposed zoning change, but we have not been able to schedule a meeting. Given the significant concerns raised by the neighborhood and the lack of meaningful community engagement, we believe it is premature for this item to move forward at this time. There are also several important issues that remain unresolved, including: • The applicant has not provided the community with a clear plan for the proposed use of the property. • Wesley has two existing commercial properties on the same block as the donated house that is proposed to be moved, yet this has not been adequately addressed. • When asked whether the church had other commercial properties, a church representative stated that it did not. We believe this discrepancy needs to be clarified before the zoning request proceeds. • • The Chase building has been presented as a comparable property, although it is a museum and a State of Texas property and is not a comparable property to the Navasota site. The surrounding community does not support the proposed zoning change and believes there are other ways for Wesley to achieve its financial objectives without changing the zoning. A postponement would provide an opportunity for the applicant and the community to meet, exchange information, and address these concerns before the Commission considers the request. We respectfully ask City Staff to postpone the Navasota property agenda item and allow time for meaningful community engagement and clarification of the outstanding issues. Thank you for your consideration and for helping ensure that this process is thorough, transparent, and responsive to the surrounding community. 04 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 11 of 2 Sincerely, Scott Menzies President of the Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association 907-310-2986 04 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 12 of 2

From: Scott Menzies Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2026 10:22 AM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Subject: Rescinding letter of support for 1187 Navasota Zoning change Re: Withdrawal and Superseding of Prior Letter of Support Case Numbers: NPA-2026-0009.01 and C14-2026-0028 – 1187 Navasota Street Dear Planning Commissioners and City Council Members, On behalf of the Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association (RHNA), I am writing regarding the Neighborhood Plan Amendment application NPA-2026-0009.01 and rezoning application C14-2026-0028 for 1187 Navasota Street. RHNA previously submitted a letter expressing support for these applications. After further discussion within the neighborhood and consideration of the requested land use entitlements, the Association has determined that its prior letter no longer reflects its current position. Accordingly, this letter withdraws and supersedes RHNA's previous letter of support. When the original letter was submitted, RHNA's understanding was that the request was intended to facilitate the relocation of an existing office building onto church-owned property to support Wesley United Methodist Church's operations and mission. Since that time, questions have arisen regarding the scope of the requested entitlements and their potential long-term implications for both the property and the surrounding neighborhood. In particular, the Association has not yet reached a clear understanding of why the requested Neighborhood Plan Amendment and Commercial Mixed Use zoning designation are necessary to accomplish the stated project, whether alternative zoning approaches were considered, and what future development opportunities may be created through approval of the requested entitlements. These considerations are directly relevant to the City's evaluation of both the neighborhood plan amendment and rezoning applications. RHNA's withdrawal of support should not be interpreted as opposition to Wesley United Methodist Church. Wesley remains an important institution in East Austin and a valued member of the Robertson Hill community. Rather, the Association believes that additional information, dialogue, and transparency are necessary before it can determine whether the requested land use changes are appropriate and consistent with the long-term interests of both the church and the neighborhood. 04 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 11 of 2 The Association also believes that further discussion may be warranted regarding potential safeguards or limitations that could ensure the property's future use remains aligned with the church's stated objectives and compatible with the surrounding residential community. At this time, RHNA is unable to maintain an official position of support for the applications and therefore withdraws its previous endorsement pending further clarification and community engagement. We appreciate …

Dear Ms. Bates: As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully submit this letter to amend the zoning application currently under review, assigned zoning case no. C14-2026-0048, for the project titled 1801 and 1805 W 35th Street, submitted on June 4, 2026. The requested rezoning of the Property is from LO-NP (Limited Office – Neighborhood Plan) to LR- NP (Neighborhood Commercial – Neighborhood Plan). With this amendment, we propose including a Conditional Overlay reflecting conditions identified through Austin Planning staff’s review and our community outreach. Specifically, we accept staff’s recommendation to prohibit a Service Station use on the Property. Additionally, through our outreach with the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association, we have agreed to limit the Property’s maximum building height to 39 feet. We respectfully request that these conditions be incorporated into a proposed Conditional Overlay as part of the rezoning request.

TESTIMONY AND STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD OF DAVID COTSHOTT OWNER, 1200 COTTON ST, AUSTIN, TX BEFORE AUSTIN PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 25, 2026 6:00 PM AUSTIN CITY HALL ROOM 1001 Good evening members of the planning commission. My name is David Cotshott, and I live at 1200 Cotton St. I have lived in my house and in the Robinson Hill neighborhood since 2015, 11 years time. My house is directly across Cotton street from the 1187 Navasota property. I am opposed to changing the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan for 1187 Navasota from Single Family to Neighborhood Mixed Use. I am also opposed to the zoning change of 1187 Navasota from SF-3-NP Family Residence district to LO-NP Limited Office district. I would like to communicate to the planning commission that a majority of neighbors within 500 feet of 1187 Navasota have signed a petition opposing the neighborhood plan and zoning changes. Referencing the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan, Objective 1.1 under Goal 1 on page 7 is to quote “Preserve residential character as shown on the Future Land Use map”. Changing from residential to commercial zoning at 1187 Navasota will not preserve residential character of this neighborhood. Objective 2.2 under Goal 2 on page 12 of the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan is to quote “Increase the amount of housing units available”. Changing from residential to commercial zoning at 1187 Navasota will not allow an increase in housing units, as Wesley United Church is moving an existing building to the lot, with no plans to build additional housing units. Goal 3 on page 13 does state quote “Promote new development for a mix of uses that respects and enhances the residential neighborhoods of Central East Austin”. Action 15 under Objective 3.1 states partial quote “Permit mixed-use development along commercial corridors”. However, Navasota street is not a commercial corridor. Every single property that borders 1187 Navasota is zoned single family residential. Changing the zoning would not respect and enhance this residential neighborhood. Commercial and mixed-use development should be restricted to the 11th and 12th street corridors only. 05 C14-2026-0028 - Wesley Property Donation; District 11 of 2 Lastly, there is not room for a mixed-use zoning level of parking in the area. Heavy cut-through traffic occurs on Navasota street between 11th and 12th. I have witnessed multiple accidents on Navasota in the time I have lived in my house. For these reasons, …

Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15th to October 15th throughout the country and serves to celebrate and recognize the history, diversity and rich culture of Latinos and their contributions to the workforce and economic growth of the City of Austin, the state of Texas, and the United States of America; and Whereas, Latinos represent 20% of the population of the United States. In Texas, this community comprises 40.2% of the population, and in Austin, 33% of residents identify as having Hispanic heritage. Given these demographics, it is fitting to acknowledge and reaffirm the City of Austin's commitment to strengthening the human infrastructure in Latino communities by providing opportunities for economic growth, education and civic engagement. Moreover, we recognize the tremendous economic vitality of Latinos since they account for 30.6 percent of the nation’s GDP growth, contributing over $2.7 trillion to the U.S. economy. Whereas, the Latino community in Austin remains steadfast in opposing the erosion of constitutional and civil rights of all Americans and the xenophobic political rhetoric emanating from Washington D.C. that targets Latinos with discriminatory immigration enforcement practices, and the militarization of federal law enforcement agencies, constituting a threat to the freedoms and liberties of all Hispanic communities. Whereas, despite these challenges, the Latino community in Austin maintains its firm commitment to upholding and protecting the constitutional and civil rights of all Americans and will continue to advocate for full and equal access to the political process, education, healthcare, and economic advancement: and, Whereas the advancement of the Hispanic community in civic participation, economic development, leadership, public service, scientific and academic research will continue to have an important and meaningful impact on the City of Austin, the State of Texas, and the United States of America; and Whereas, it is important to acknowledge and support the vital role Latino residents, community organizations, businesses, cultural institutions, and leaders have played in shaping the history, culture, and continued growth of Austin, and in creating opportunities for future generations; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Austin Hispanic/Latino Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission recognizes the importance of Hispanic Heritage Month and respectfully recommends that the Austin City Council recognize September 15 through October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month in the City of Austin and encourage all residents to celebrate and honor the history, culture, achievements, and contributions of the Latino community.
