ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0118 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 7331 And 7333 Bluff Springs Road PROPERTY OWNER: RPM Living (William Krenger) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) DISTRICT: 2 ZONING TO: MF-3 SITE AREA: 8.46 acres (368,517 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – medium density (MF-3) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 5, 2023: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 8.46 acres, developed with one building, has access to Bluff Springs Road (level 3) and Dan Pass (level 1), and is currently designated interim-rural- residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences and park (SF-6, SF-4A-CO and P) to the north, single family residences and Kendra Page Neighborhood Park (SF-2, SF-4A- CO and I-RR) to the south and east, and multifamily residences (moderate to high density) and the AISD transportation (MF-4, MF-4-CO and CS-MU-CO) so the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). Staff is recommending the multifamily residence (medium density) (MF-3) district zoning as it is a lower multifamily zoning to take into account the single family residences surrounding the property. 05 C14-2023-0118 - 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road; District 21 of 16 C14-2023-0000 2 Per the comprehensive plan review comments this site meets three of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site adjoins a public sidewalk, shared path, and/or bike lane and is located within 0.25 miles of public transit stop and/or light rail station. It also expands the number of units and housing choice that suits a variety of household sizes, incomes, and lifestyle needs of a diverse population in support of Imagine Austin and the Strategic Housing Blueprint. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 1. The multifamily residence (medium density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed zoning would promote compatibility with nearby uses as the properties to the west are …

10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160702 NICHOLS-GELLMAN BUILDING 201-207 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL Convert a historic landmark to a restaurant from a bar. The proposed remodel is based on the era beginning in 1933 and extending to the 1950s, from which most of the photographic documentation of the building’s exterior has been sourced. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Install a new metal and glass storefront that references the historic proportions in 1950s photos. 2) Repair brick and stucco as needed. 3) Remove the non-original balcony at the north elevation. 4) Replace the non-original arched storefronts with squared ones to restore historic proportions. 5) Repair existing upper windows as needed at the north elevation. 6) Repair windows at the west elevation, replacing them in kind when necessary. Install new windows beneath the existing ones, with metal detailing used to express the connection between the new and old windows. Two existing windows are proposed to be removed and infilled with salvaged brick obtained during the construction of the new windows. ARCHITECTURE Built in 1872, 201-207 E 6th Street is a two-story brick and stone commercial structure. The original brick cornice detailing remains intact, though the front has been altered throughout the years and now features arched openings. The secondary façade (west) on Brazos Street is exposed brick and has small windows on the ground level. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposal includes mostly repairs, with some intact historic material removed from the secondary façade and reused as infill. Replacement elements appear sourced from photos taken during the historic period. 4. Exterior walls and trim See 1. Proposed patching will be completed using salvaged material from the same building. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposal includes repair of existing windows, with replacement in-kind at secondary elevations only if deterioration precludes repair. It includes new openings at the secondary street-facing elevation; however, openings do appear limited, appropriate for the building, and compatible with the architectural character. The proposal fills two windows at the secondary façade. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront appears mostly based on historic photos; however, care should be taken to preserve …
