January 16, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 1102 C14-2023-0053 - Bonnell Residential Rezoning; District 10 2 C14-2023-0053 ISSUES: The site in question is currently zoned LA, Lake Austin Residence District. It is a legal tract that is exempted from platting. According to the applicant, the Land Status Determination is eminent. The LA zoning district site development regulations require 100 feet for minimum lot width. Although the requested rezoning to SF-2 is supported by the staff, it will not bring this property into compliance with frontage requirements or allow for up to 45% impervious cover. The Code requires a property within the LA overlay district to comply with LA zoning development standards even if it is rezoned to SF-2. So according to LDC Sec. 25-2-647 - LAKE AUSTIN (LA) OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS still require a minimum of 100 feet for lot width. Therefore, the rezoning will not accomplish any change in the site development regulations for this property. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is a 1.56 acre lot that is developed with a single family residence, …

We are reviewing the proposed use prohibitions you sent earlier. Also we will have an onsite meeting with the Quail Hollow Neighborhood this Wednesday afternoon. Given the tight timeframe for the need for backup for the 16th ZAP meeting, we would like to push back the ZAP consideration to the next ZAP meeting, which I understand is January 30th. This should allow us enough time to consider the use prohibitions, meet with the Neighborhood, and also submit an amended request addressing use prohibitions and the other information you suggested. Thanks!
