Bennett) CASE MANAGER: Tiffany Magnavice (512-978-0722, tiffany.magnavice@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant the community commercial – mixed use – neighborhood plan (GR-MU-NP) combined district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 8, 2024: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 0.39 acres and currently has one vacant building and two food trucks operating onsite. The rezoning area is at the northwest corner of West Stassney Lane (Level 3/Corridor) and Menchaca Road (Level 3/Corridor). The site is located within two ETOD stations, Jones/Jentch and ACC South Austin, which initiate and encourage transit activity. A bus stop is located 0.02 miles from the subject site.

August 2, 2024 RE: 1500 East 12th Street Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Witt Featherston, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today in support of designating 1500 East 12th Street as a City of Austin Historic Landmark for its Architecture, Historic Association, and Community Value. Our support for this case is in alignment with our Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority, which seeks to identify and designate historic sites associated with African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, the LGBTQIA community, and women. Built between 1889 and 1911, the store at 1500 E. 12th St. traces the diverse heritage of East Austin. The building’s early history reflects the German heritage of Austin and Central Texas – initially constructed by grocer and politician Christian J. Willhem, it was later acquired by Dessau merchants Ernest and Louisa Eisenbeiser, who operated a produce and dry goods store, a saloon, and a restaurant there. In 1950, Black businessman Buford Johnson purchased the building, transforming it into a community hub for East Austin’s African American population during the Jim Crow era. By the mid-1950s, the building housed the Fifteen Hundred Beauty and Barber Shops, as well as Club Fifteen Hundred, a bar and music venue. It later became the home of the Gamma Eta Alpha chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the oldest fraternity in America to admit Black members. The building is prominently situated at the corner of E. 12th and Comal Streets, directly across from the I.Q. Hurdle and Southgate-Lewis Houses – both landmarks of Austin’s Black heritage – reflecting the greater importance of this intersection to the story of Black East Austin. Preservation Austin wholeheartedly supports the designation of 1500 E. 12th St. as a City of Austin Historic Landmark. We thank you for your consideration of this case and for your service to the City of Austin.

Infill Plats & Site Plan Lite: Overview of Staff Proposal Housing & Planning Committee| Oct. 1, 2024 Brent Lloyd, DSD Development Officer Background • “Infill development” occurs primarily within existing residential areas and is increasingly important to achieving the City’s housing goals. • The City has updated its zoning regulations to facilitate infill development. But non-zoning regulations remain poorly calibrated to the intermediate scale & intensity of most infill projects—i.e., less than a large multi-family building, but more than a single-family home. • The staff proposal seeks to “right-size” non-zoning regulations and review procedures to better accommodate different kinds of infill development. Background (cont’d) • The “Infill Plats” portion of staff’s proposal streamlines the re- subdivision process for approximately 158,000 residential lots, which would: Facilitate creation of smaller “HOME-2” lots; and Provide an alternative to condominium regimes • The “Site Plan Lite” portion of staff’s proposal streamlines the development process for 5-16 unit projects on approximately 3,500 multi-family zoned properties. • Projects that meet applicable requirements would cost significantly less to develop than they do today. Background (cont’d) • The staff proposal would not: o Appreciably impact lot-to-lot flooding; o Increase allowed impervious cover; o Reduce protections for water quality; o Waive limits on development in floodplain; or o Increase number of units allowed in any zone Infill Plats Existing Subdivision w/ Potential Infill Lots ¼-acre lot, eligible for streamlined resub per “Infill Plat” proposal Summary of Infill Plat Proposal: Drainage Code Amendments Lot Size Proposed Requirements for Resubdivision Additional Info.

Case No. C20-2023-045 Planning Commission: August 27, 2024 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-045 | Site Plan Lite, Phase 2 & Infill Plats Amendment Introduction: This staff report discusses amendments to the Land Development Code (“LDC”) proposed in response to two separate council initiatives intended to facilitate construction of infill housing: Resolution No. 20221201-048 (“Site Plan Lite”) and Resolution No. 20230504-023 (“Infill Plats”). These amendments, which will be included in a single ordinance, seek to better calibrate non-zoning regulations and review procedures to the scale of “missing middle” housing. The report also describes changes initiated or under consideration by individual departments to address non-LDC related challenges to development of missing middle housing, including amendments to administrative criteria manuals and improvements to existing review procedures. Amendment Background: — Site Plan Lite, Phase 2 On December 1, 2022, the City Council passed Resolution No. 20221201-048 initiating LDC amendments to better scale site plan review for residential projects of three to sixteen units located on a single lot. For Phase 1, Council adopted Ordinance No. 20230720-158 on July 20, 2023, creating a site plan exemption for projects of four or fewer residential units. This change, coupled with subsequent passage of the first HOME ordinance, has enabled staff to conform the review process for 3-4 unit residential projects more closely to the process used for one and two-unit projects. For Phase 2, staff’s proposed amendments would modify applicable drainage regulations and adopt a new “small project” classification to enable further streamlining the review process for projects of five to sixteen units. These amendments, coupled with additional department- initiated changes, will make it easier to construct smaller multi-family projects on appropriately zoned lots. — Infill Plats On May 4, 2023, Council approved Resolution No. 20230504-023 initiating LDC amendments to facilitate the creation of infill lots and expand opportunities for “fee simple” ownership within existing residential subdivisions. Staff’s proposed amendments would help to further this objective by modifying applicable drainage regulations, which are a significant cost driver, and changing how impervious cover is Case No. C20-2023-045 | Page - 1 calculated to allow re-subdivisions to include a greater number of lots. In tandem with additional department-initiated changes, these amendments will better calibrate regulations applicable to small-lot single-family uses as authorized by the second HOME ordinance. Case No. C20-2023-045 Planning Commission: August 27, 2024 — Department-level Improvements Aside from drainage regulations codified in LDC Chapter 25-7 (Drainage), …
C20-2024-017 PDA2 & Density Bonus for Commercial Highway & Industrial Zones (DB240) CMO PRESENTATION Alan Pani, Planner Principal Oct. 8, 2024 Background 1966 City Council first adopted the Planned Development Area land use with the following purpose: “to provide suitable and conducive environment for the development of modern administrative facilities, research establishments, specialized manufacturing plants, and similar enterprises plus retail and other customer service facilities… and not intrude upon nearby existing or future residential and associated development.” (page 21) adopted 2014-2024 Staff analysis of PDA zoning ordinances over the past decade shows an increase in cases where residential uses have been permitted. Since 2014, there have been 45 zoning ordinances which permitted residential uses, with 31 of those cases since 2020. 2024 City Council initiated Resolution No. 20240718-091, which directed the City Manager to: “create a new density bonus program that will apply to the PDA zoning district and allow increased heights for residential uses in exchange for income-restricted units or a fee-in-lieu.” Resolution No. 20240718-091 2 PDA Current PDA2 Proposed DB240 Proposed Allows: • Residential uses to be added • Commercial uses to be added • Modified site development standards • Modified heights • Modified FAR Allows: • Commercial uses to be added • Modified site development standards • Modified heights • Modified FAR Does not allow: • Residential uses to be added Base zones that can use PDA: • Commercial Highway (CH) Industrial Park (IP) • • Major Industry (MI) Light Industrial (LI) • • Research & Development (R&D) Base zones that can use PDA2: Industrial Park (IP) • • Major Industry (MI) Light Industrial (LI) • • Research & Development (R&D) Increased height to max. 240 feet Allows: • • Unlimited FAR Adds: • Residential uses • Specific commercial uses Amends: • Certain site development standards Requires: • Set-aside affordable housing units Base zones that can use density bonus: • Commercial Highway (CH) Industrial Park (IP) • • Major Industry (MI) Light Industrial (LI) • • Research & Development (R&D) 3 PDA2 – Purpose ▪ The purpose of a Planned Development Area 2 (PDA2) is to: – Allow for additional uses & revision of site development standards in: – Industrial Park (IP) – Major Industry (MI) – Light Industrial (LI) – Research & Development (RD) – CH cannot use new PDA2 – Cannot add residential uses – New applications for PDA not accepted after PDA2 is adopted …
C20-2024-017 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2024-017 Planned Development Area 2 (PDA2) & C20-2024-022 Density Bonus for Commercial Highway and Industrial Zones Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a Planned Development Area 2 (PDA2) combining district and a Density Bonus for Commercial Highway and Industrial Zones (DB240) combining district. The PDA2 combining district is proposed to allow for modification of use and site development standards in certain commercial and industrial base districts. Under the proposal, additional residential uses would not be allowed under the PDA2 combining district. The Density Bonus for Commercial Highway and Industrial Zones combining district (DB240) is proposed to allow additional residential uses and modification of certain site development standards for residential uses in certain commercial and industrial base districts through a voluntary density bonus program. Under the proposal, PDA2 could be added to the IP, MI, LI, and R&D base districts and DB240 could be added to the CH, IP, MI, LI, and R&D base zoning districts. Moving forward, sites would no longer be able to rezone into PDA, but would need to request either PDA2 or the DB240. Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution No. 20240718-091. Planned Development Areas (PDA) were first added to the land development code in 1966 (19660616, City Council Meeting Minutes (austintexas.gov)) for the following purpose: “to provide suitable and conducive environment for the development of modern administrative facilities, research establishments, specialized manufacturing plants, and similar enterprises plus retail and other customer service facilities… and not intrude upon nearby existing or future residential and associated development.” (page 21) The use of a PDA allows for modifications to site development standards, including maximum height and floor-to-area ratio (FAR), as well as modifications to allowed and prohibited uses within a zoning district. On May 23rd, 2023, via Resolution No. 20230323-085, the City Council initiated an amendment to Land Development Code Section 25-2-582 (Commercial Highway (CH) District Regulations) to eliminate all the regulations found in 25-2-582(C) and clarify that a zoning ordinance establishing a CH-PDA controls over any conflicting CH regulations. This allowed for wider use of PDA zoning for Commercial Highway (CH) districts. Based on staff analysis of PDA zoning ordinances over the last ten years, there has been an increase in the number of cases where residential uses have been permitted: since 2014, 45 PDA zoning ordinances have permitted residential uses, with 31 of those cases since 2020. …

October 7, 2024 RE: 1500 East 12th Street Historic Landmark Designation Dear Chair Hempel, Vice Chair Azhar, and Members of the City of Austin Planning Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today in support of designating 1500 E. 12th Street as a City of Austin Landmark for its Architecture, Historic Association, and Community Value. For over 100 years, the property at 1500 E. 12th Street has traced the diverse heritage of East Austin - from its early days as a German grocery to its latter history as the home of a Black salon, Black barber shop, and fraternity. Its historic significance is supported by the findings of the 2016 East Austin Historic Resources Survey, which recommends the property for individual landmark designation and listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Importantly, the building at 1500 E. 12th Street presents an opportunity to leverage preservation as a tool for forward-thinking city planning and economic revitalization. As a commercial property on a prominent corner, this site plays a critical role in the streetscape of this neighborhood. Unfortunately, the current owners have left it sitting vacant for nearly a decade, their neglect hastening its deterioration. Preserving this property has the potential to unlock many lucrative resources that would make the site economically viable, including: ● Property tax exemptions for City of Austin Landmarks ● City of Austin Heritage Tourism grants for rehabilitation, worth up to $250,000 ● State and Federal Historic Tax Credits for rehabilitation, worth up to 45% of qualifying expenses for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places Demolishing the property for an empty lot not only forfeits these financial opportunities but also forgoes the site’s potential to reactivate a corner of East Austin that has experienced systemic neglect. We ask the Planning Commission to recognize the historic significance of this site and the potential it holds for the neighborhood’s future. Thank you for your consideration and your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President
Residential Infill Subdivision and Site Plan Lite Recommendations The AIC and HBA appreciate the opportunity to offer recommendations on ways to improve the subdivision process for much needed missing middle and infill housing. These projects will bring gentle density to Austin by making the subdivision process more efficient and using Austin’s limited developable land more efficiently. Prior to 1984, these types of projects were common and are heralded today as some of Austin’s most affordable housing stock. Change is difficult, and the development process is complicated. We understand that many of the necessary changes will require thoughtful, in-depth analysis and compromise among city departments and city priorities. Ultimately, housing affordability and housing supply should be the guiding priority. We hope that the city and its departments will come to the table and work with the development community to find solutions that will improve the process while maintaining a high standard of construction and safety. Several departments have already made good efforts to improve their processes. We hope these recommendations will build on those efforts. In this report, we offer two separate sets of recommendations for residential infill subdivision and site plan lite, broken down by department. These lists of recommendations illustrates the need change in almost every department involved in the development process. These recommendations are not exhaustive but are designed to be a starting point for improvements. In the recommendations, you will also find our goals and guiding principles that helped shape our recommendation. Some of these recommendations will require changes to the land development code while others will require edits to the city’s criteria manuals or administrative processes. While there is some overlap between the two, after diving into our recommendations in greater detail, we have come to agreement that residential infill subdivision and site plan lite should be considered separately. The two different processes present different challenges as projects increase in size. In order to improve the site plan and subdivision process globally, the city must: • One of the biggest barriers to missing middle housing is the time it takes for approval. Establishing reasonable and achievable goals for review times will encourage simplification and process improvements. • Modify applicable regulations and processes for predictability, consistency and increased • • feasibility for compliance. Implement a speedy resolution process for inter departmental conflicts. Identify and publish applicable regulations across departments so applicants can get it right with their …
