(Jonathan Sosebee) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services (CS) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see pages 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 4, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is 2.76 acres and located at the northeast corner of State Highway 130 frontage lanes and Pearce Lane. The subject property is part of a 10.97 acre undeveloped tract that is partially in the City of Austin full-purpose jurisdiction and partially in the ETJ. The 2.76 acres that are in the full-purpose jurisdiction are currently zoned development reserve (DR) district zoning. There is undeveloped acreage directly to the east as well as a manufactured home park (GR- CO; MH-CO), single family residences on large lots to the south (County) and the northbound frontage lanes of SH 130 to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). C14-2024-0028 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting general commercial (CS) district zoning for the 2.76 acres located within the full-purpose jurisdiction in order to be able to develop a convenience store that includes a service station. Access is proposed from both the frontage of SH 130 and Pearce Lane. Access from SH 130 will be coordinated through TxDot. Access from Pearce Lane is within the jurisdiction of Travis County. Staff is recommending the Applicant's request for CS given its location at the intersection of a State Highway and an arterial roadway, and commercial zoning would enable the provision of goods and services to several single family residential neighborhoods in the vicinity. 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. 2. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and …

There will be no increase in impervious cover for post-development conditions. The existing Walnut Creek outfall will be modified by adding foundation or wingwall thickness for stability and energy dissipators to minimize the flooding of downstream properties. The applicant is requesting a variance from LDC 25-8-281 to allow construction within a Seep/Spring Complex Critical Environmental Feature buffer for the drainage outfall. The variance was approved with the following conditions by the Environmental Commission on May 15, 2024: 1. Repair erosion throughout area. 2. Place Grow Zone Signs at 100 ft intervals, 30 ft from curb. 3. Expand native planting and seeding throughout the Grow Zone and the curb (no plantings outside of the Grow Zone; sod area for stabilization can remain.) 4. Ensure that placement of topsoil, temp irrigation and weed management are included with the restoration. 5. Remove remaining driveway aprons and replace with curb and gutter.

Water Forward Task Force (WFTF) Water Forward 2024 Working Group May 29, 2024 Meeting Notes Teams Meeting, 3:00 pm Attendees: Jennifer Walker, WFTF Madelline Mathis, WFTF Emily Rafferty, Austin Water Marisa Flores-Gonzalez, Austin Water Preview of WFTF Member Conservation and Demand Management Strategies Feedback Austin Water staff went over the written feedback that they had received from Task Force members regarding conservation and demand management strategies. Austin Water staff discussed the next steps of providing this feedback to Austin Water’s consultant, Plummer. Over the month of June, the consultant will develop costs and yields for any tactical demand management strategies based on Task Force member feedback. Austin Water staff shared that at the July Task Force meeting, Austin Water aims to share the costs and yields of additional demand management strategies developed by the consultant. Task Force member questions and discussion included the following: • Task Force members discussed the future survey to be sent out regarding tactical demand management strategies and possibly including costs and yields in the survey, depending on the timing of the survey release • Task Force members provided further feedback on existing comments regarding the following: o Decentralized facilities could be a way to expand reuse ordinance to include smaller/mid-sized buildings instead of piping all the way to centralized reclaimed infrastructure. o Provide a certification program tailored for landscapers and landscape architects, enabling them to demonstrate their expertise in building water- efficient landscapes. o Collaborate with the Texas Native Plant Society to enhance informational materials for landscapers by incorporating recommendations for plants based on root depth and their benefit to stormwater infiltration. o Implement a color-coded feedback system in the MyATX Water portal, where customers' water usage is visually represented. AW staff shared that this type of practice is already in place in the portal. Water Forward 2024 Working Group Meeting May 2024
Backup - Water Forward Task Force Member Written Feedback — original pdf
Water Forward Task Force Member Written Feedback (Received 5/14/2024 --- 5/21/2024) Feedback Received by Bill Moriarty: • Completion of the reclaimed water hook up to the new Travis County Courthouse. • Completion of the Indirect Potable Reuse Project that was previously identified in WF18. I think there needs to be an initial evaluation to see if this project is even feasible anymore given the algae issue and other possible permitting of public relations issues. • An evaluation of the existing and near-term reclaimed water piping network to identify obvious hook ups, that are not currently connected. This could be facilities with various high non-potable demands such as irrigation and air conditioning chillers. These facilities could then be approached by Austin Water to gauge their interest in hooking up. • An evaluation of the State Capital Complex for a complete conversion to reclaimed water for non-potable purposes. (Irrigation, air conditioning chillers, ornamentals, future buildings that could be dual plumbed. • An evaluation of the University of Texas Campus for a complete conversion to reclaimed water for non-potable purposes. (Irrigation, air conditioning chillers, ornamentals, future buildings that could be dual plumbed. • An evaluation of large non-potable customers (irrigation, chillers) city wide for possible hook up to reclaimed water system. Feedback Received by Paul DiFiore: My main concern with our Drought Contingency Plan and Water Conservation Plan is that over the next decades, Austinites will work diligently to conserve water, yet we will fail to manage where our supply goes. As it stands, all our hard-earned gains on water conservation are vulnerable to being instantly wiped away by massive new industrial users coming onto our system. It’s a glaring hole in our planning process. And it exists because of an outdated east-west inequity in our city, which allows for projects in the so-called Drinking Water Protection Zone to receive heightened levels of public scrutiny while those in the so-called Desired Development Zone get staff approval with no boards or council oversight. Consider the anticipated goals in the Water Conservation Plan: by 2029 we are hoping to save 245 million gallons of water each year through the increased use of our reclaimed water system. Likewise we are hoping to save 266 million gallons of water each year through landscape transformation. Each of those monumental efforts—which require massive resources from utility staff and buy-in from tens of thousands of Austin residents—would be more than …
