ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: CS DISTRICT: 6 CASE: C14-2024-0087 (12104 Jekel Circle) ADDRESS: 12104 Jekel Circle ZONING FROM: LI-CO SITE AREA: 0.267 acres (11,631 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: JLCC Interests, LLC (Michael Jordan Scott) APPLICANT/AGENT: Industry ATX (Michael Winningham) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0087 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 11,631 sq. ft undeveloped lot fronting Jekel Circle that is currently zoned LI-CO. Surrounding land uses include office uses to the north and east zoned CS, a religious assembly use with a surface parking lot to the south zoned LI-CO and a construction sales and services use zoned CS-CO across Jekel Circle to the west. In this case, the applicant is requesting a downzoning to the CS district to utilize the Affordability Unlocked program to develop residential units at this location. The staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning because the property is located within a commercial area. The lots surrounding this site to the north, east and west are zoned with CS and CS-CO. There are office uses to the north and east, commercial uses to the west and a religious assembly use to the south. The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to utilize the property for commercial uses that are consistent with surrounding land use patterns in this area. The site under consideration is within the designated ‘183 & McNeil Neighborhood Center’, as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. There are public transportation options in this area as there are sidewalks along Jekel Circle, a bike lane along McNeil Drive and there is a Capital Metro bus stop within 0.25 miles at the intersection of McNeil Drive and Research Boulevard. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General commercial services (CS) district is the designation for a commercial or industrial use of a service nature that has operating characteristics or traffic service requirements that are incompatible with residential environments. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The General Commercial Services district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding land use patterns because there is …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 2 TO: MF-3 CASE: C14-2024-0057– 2100 Patsy Parkway ADDRESS: 2100 Patsy Parkway ZONING FROM: SF-2 SITE AREA: 1.9071 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Steve Cisneros AGENT: Drenner Group (Leah Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence (medium density) (MF-3) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The rezoning request of the subject site is related to an adjacent rezoning case at 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs Road, request from I-RR to MF-3, which was approved by City Council on February 15, 2024 (Case no. C14-2023-0118; Ordinance No. 20240215-041). According to the applicant, the purpose of this rezoning is to unify this subject site with that at 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs Road, anticipating a 247-unit multifamily residence, to allow additional acreage for needed drainage and infrastructure. This rezoning request to MF-3 encompasses 1.9071 acres, portioned from a parcel that is 2.2409 acres; the remaining portion will remain SF-2. Further, the TIA worksheet on file for this rezoning request and the applicant summary notes that Patsy Parkway will not be used for access; access to this property will be from Bluff Springs Road via the adjacent parcel at 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs Road. C14-2024-0057 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 1.9071 acres, however the entire parcel is 2.2409 acres, and is developed with a single family residence with frontage on Patsy Parkway. The portion of the parcel at the eastern end surrounding the single family residence will remain zoned SF-2 (see Attachment A: Location Map annotated). The rezoning area is situated on the east side of Bluff Springs Road. Bluff Springs Road is a level 3 mobility corridor, with dedicated bicycle lanes in both directions, and Cap Metro bus stop 1/3-mile to the north (at Blue Meadow Drive). The site is near to commercial services, approximately ¾-mile south of the intersection with William Cannon Drive and 1/3-mile from I-35 frontage road. The property to the north is the aforementioned, recently-rezoned 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs site, exhibits Automotive Rentals use (MF-3). Single family residences and Kendra Page Neighborhood Park are to the south and east (SF-2, SF-4ACO and I-RR). To the immediate west fronting Bluff Springs Road is a small parcel with a single family residence, and further west across Bluff Springs …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: SF-3 DISTRICT: 5 CASE: C14-2024-0093 (Persimmon Trail) ADDRESS: 7901 Persimmon Trail ZONING FROM: MH SITE AREA: .2453 acres (10,685.21 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Shane Hauptli and Carol Short AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Beverly Villela (512-978-0740, Beverly.Villela@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends SF-3, Family Residence District, zoning. See the Basis of Recommendation section below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is an undeveloped lot within the Greenleaf Estates subdivision. The Greenleaf Estates and the Brownleaf Estates, the adjacent subdivision to the north, are manufactured home subdivisions and were zoned mobile home residence (MH) district in the mid-1980s. Some of the lots contain one or more manufactured homes, and other lots have single family residence or two-family residence uses. In this case, the applicant has requested SF-3 zoning to build a family residence. Staff is recommending the Family Residence (SF-3) district zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: C14-2023-0000 2 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single- family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single- family residential development standards. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The staff supports the applicant’s request because the property is in an area that is developed with a mixture of manufactured homes, single family residences, and two- family residences.

PROPERTY OWNER: Anna Cecilia Berry AGENT: Texas Permitting Solutions (Shae Willard) CASE MANAGER: Beverly Villela (512-978-0740, Beverly.Villela@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends SF-3, Family Residence District, zoning. See the Basis of Recommendation section below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024: July 16, 2024: POSTPONED AT THE REQUEST OF COMMISSION TO AUGUST 6TH, 2024 [A. FLORES; R. PUZYCKI – 2ND] (6-0) S. BOONE; W. FLOYD – ABSENT; TWO VACANIES ON THE COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is an undeveloped lot within the Greenleaf Estates subdivision. The Greenleaf Estates and the Brownleaf Estates, the adjacent subdivision to the north, are manufactured home subdivisions and were zoned mobile home residence (MH) district in the mid-1980s. Some of the lots contain one or more manufactured homes, and other lots have single family residence or two-family residence uses. In this case, the applicant has requested SF-3 zoning to build a single-family residence. Staff is recommending the Family Residence (SF-3) district zoning. C14-2023-0000 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single- family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single- family residential development standards. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The staff supports the applicant’s request because the property is located in an area that is developed with a mixture of manufactured homes, single family residences, and two-family residences. The SF-3 zoning district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses and there are existing SF-3 and SF-2-CO zoned properties located to the north and east that are currently developed with single- family residential uses. In addition, many of the manufactured homes in this area have been enclosed with framed facades making it difficult to recognize them as manufactured homes and not single …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 2, 2024: Postponed to August 6, 2026 at the neighborhood's request by consent (9-0); L. Stern-1st, B. Greenberg-2nd. August 6, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 ISSUES: In December of 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 20240229-073 to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Land Development Code - Title 25 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 a 12.26 acre tract of land that is developed with an office complex that has LO zoning, with footprint areas of LR zoning. The lot to the south, across Steck Avenue, contains a vacant restaurant use (Luby’s) that is zoned MF-6. To the north, there are MF-2 and LO zoned lots that are developed with multifamily (Bent Tree Apartments) and office (The Woods II) uses. The land to the west is developed with residential condos (The Arbors) zoned LO. In this application, the property owner is requesting to rezone these lots to GR-MU-V-DB90 zoning to allow for a phased redevelopment of the existing surface parking and office uses. The applicant states that their intent is to support residential, office, and retail uses and allow for participation in the DB90 program. (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base GR district and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the GR district (60 feet maximum in the base district plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and …

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is 2.03 acres located on the eastbound service road of State Highway 71. It is situated east of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and slightly west of FM 973. The site is currently an undeveloped tract that is zoned interim-rural residence (I-RR). There is a convenience store and fuel station directly to the west (CS-CO). The Austin Transitional Center as well as several county facilities such as the Travis County correctional facility, Travis County softball facility and the Sheriff’s office are located to the south (P). There is undeveloped land and another Travis County facility to the east (P-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). C14-2024-0062 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting to rezone the site to general commercial services (CS) district zoning and is proposing an express automatic car wash. The property is located within the Airport Overlay Zone (CCLUA; AO-3); however, commercial and industrial uses are permitted within this area. Staff is recommending (CS) district zoning due to its location along a freeway as well as being near the intersection of two major arterial roads, East State Highway 71 and FM 973. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed general commercial services (CS) district zoning is intended for commercial or industrial uses that typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. The CS district is best suited for uses located at intersections of arterial roadways or arterials with collector status. 2. Zoning changes should promote an orderly and compatible relationship among land uses. Staff is recommending (CS) district zoning for the subject property based on the following considerations: 1) its location on a major arterial roadway with direct access to the eastbound frontage road of East State Highway 71, 2) commercial uses are appropriate within the Airport Overlay Zone, and …
