BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant proposes to change the land use on the future land use map for the properties from Single Family to Neighborhood Commercial land use to build a small-scale restaurant with office space and a garden. Neighborhood Commercial land use is appropriate in this location because it can serve as a transition buffer between the single family land uses to the south and the Mixed Use land uses to the north. The property is approximately 150 feet south of Manor Road, which is an Activity Corridor. The property is near multiple public transportation routes along Manor Road, E. MLK Jr. Blvd, and Chicon Street. The property is less than a mile from the MLK Rail Station. The Upper Boggy Creek Neighborhood Plan supports neighborhood-scale local businesses, although it does not support converting residential properties to commerical development. Although the property is zoned SF-3-NP, there is no existing single family home on the site but is currently a garden and parking for an adjacent restaurant. Staff believes the location of these properties adjacent to the properties that front onto Manor Road will service as a buffer between the single family uses to the south and the commercial uses along Manor Road. 12 NPA-2025-0012.01 - 2108 and 2110 E. 22nd Street; District 12 of 25 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: The earliest records of the building at 1112 West 10th Street existing are from tax documents from 1903, though the style of the building, as well as similar structures in the neighborhood, may indicate that the property was constructed a few years before that. The Second Empire style was popular from the 1850s through the 1880s, but it is possible that the style continued for new construction in Austin into the 20th century. The Simmons-Glaser House, along with houses on this and neighboring streets were built during a campaign in the 1890s by local builder Nick Dawson, who used similar materials and proportions. Even though the exact date of construction may be uncertain, the asymmetrical front elevation, with a bay extension on the west half and front porch at the east complete with decorative millwork, indicate that this house is in excellent condition and retains good integrity. § 25-2-352(3)(c)(ii) Historical Associations. The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, businesses, or events of historical importance that contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation or represents a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time.

Code Amendment C20-2025-009 Parkland Drainage Easements Austin Watershed Protection | December 9, 2025 Intent of Current Code: Drainage Easements LDC 25-7-152(A) The owner of real property proposed to be developed shall dedicate to the public an easement for stormwater flow to the limits of the 100-year floodplain Ensures that the current and future property owners know that flood risk exists on their property Accomplished by surveying the floodplain area on the property 2 Impacts Under Current Code Requires solicitation and contract negotiation Requires multiple rounds of staff review A Declaration of Use (DOU) requires Real Estate and Legal review Final approval requires multiple levels of executive review, signatures and recording with associated County fees Overall process cost: Consultant for survey (increased significantly over time) Cost of staff time charged to the project (reducing available money for construction) Adds cost/time to the site plan review process Park property remains city-owned unless voter approved for sale through a Chapter 26 process 3 Proposed Code Add City of Austin parkland to the list of options for a variance. Would not exempt parkland from following all code requirements for development in the floodplain. If a property is approved for sale, the new owner would be required to dedicate the easement once a subdivision or site plan application is submitted. 4 Proposed Code Language § 25-7-152 - DEDICATION OF EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY E. For property in the full-purpose limits of the city, the director may grant a variance to Subsection (A) if the director determines: 1) development with the variance does not result in additional adverse flooding of other 2) property; and the development: a) is permitted by a variance granted under Section 25-7-92(C) (Encroachments on Floodplain Prohibited); is permitted in a floodplain under Section 25-7-93 (General Exceptions), Section 25-7- 94 (Exceptions in Central Business Area), Section 25-7-95 (Exceptions for Parking Areas), or Section 25-7-96 (Exceptions in the 25-Year Floodplain); is not a building or parking area; is a non-conforming use, as defined by Chapter 25-12, Article 3 (Flood Hazard Areas); or is for park improvements on City of Austin parkland. b) c) d) e) 5 Boards and Commissions Review Schedule Meeting Codes and Ordinances Joint Committee: Initiation Recommendation (approved) Date July 16, 2025 Planning Commission: Initiation Recommendation (approved, initiated) August 12, 2025 Parks and Recreation Board: Code amendment memo sent …
C20-2025-009 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2025-009 City of Austin parkland drainage easements LDC 25-7 code amendment Description: Amends 25-7-152 (E) as related to parkland drainage easements. The proposed amendment would allow an administrative variance to not require drainage easements associated with development projects on City of Austin parkland. Proposed Language: Approve an ordinance amending 25-7-152 (E): to allow for an administrative variance to drainage easement requirements associated with development projects on City of Austin parkland. Background: Current code requires that property owners dedicate a public drainage easement to the limits of the 100-year floodplain as a part of the site development permit approval process. Additionally, 25-7-152 (E) includes provisions allowing the Director to grant an administrative variance under certain circumstances as described in that section. The purpose of the drainage easement is to alert present and future property owners that there is flood risk on the property. There are limitations on the use of the drainage easement and floodplain areas on the property. These uses are regulated by the floodplain regulations. Importantly, an approved administrative variance waiving the drainage easement requirement does not waive or alter existing restrictions or development requirements within the 100-year floodplain. The proposed amendment would only apply to the dedication of a drainage easement on City of Austin parkland. Additionally, if parkland is later sold through the Chapter 26 process and voter approval, the new property owner would be required to dedicate a drainage easement as part of any future site plan application. The process for the sale of public parkland must follow the requirements outlined in Chapter 26 of the Texas statues which serve as a protection for public parks and recreational lands from programs or projects that would change their use or require taking of public land. A benefit of this proposed code change is to reduce the fiscal and administrative burden on new parkland projects by improving efficiency during the permit review process. Austin Parks and Recreation and Austin Watershed Protection are in agreement that this change is appropriate and beneficial. Currently, each parkland development project must apply for a variance and be approved on a case-by-case basis. Codifying this exception will streamline the process and reduce unnecessary administrative work for both departments. Additionally, there will be no impact or change on maintenance or operational responsibilities as a result of the code amendment. Staff Recommendation: Staff supports the amendment to 25-7-152 (E): …

Proposed Rezoning Opposition [Tract 34 – Lantana Neighborhood Corner of William Cannon & Rialto - NPA-2025-0025.03 C14-2025-0087] Why Removing Transitional Zoning Conflicts with Austin’s Neighborhood Compatibility Standards Austin’s land development framework relies heavily on transitional, or buffer zoning, to prevent abrupt changes between land uses that would create conflicts or diminish livability. Office zoning in this location is functioning exactly as intended — it provides a low- intensity, daytime-driven use that steps down from the busier roadway toward single-family homes. It limits trip generation, noise, late-night activity, and lighting spillover in a way that protects adjacent residential areas. Commercial zoning removes that buffering function and replaces it with a district that allows: • • • • • • high trip-generating uses later operating hours on-site alcohol service larger structures amplified lighting and signage event-oriented or transient-oriented businesses This creates a direct adjacency of incompatible intensities, which Austin’s long-standing compatibility standards are meant to prevent. From a planning perspective, this is a leap, not a step — a direct escalation from low-impact, professional daytime use to open-ended commercial entitlement less than 500 feet from homes and a creek corridor. Austin’s compatibility model — reaffirmed repeatedly through Imagine Austin, Small Area Plans, and corridor studies — rests on three core principles: 1. Transitions in height and intensity matter. Office zoning operates at a height, traffic, and noise profile similar to civic or institutional uses — compatible with nearby homes. Commercial zoning authorizes much more intense activity that violates gradual transition principles. 2. Buffers protect health, safety, and quality of life. Transitional zoning avoids late-night noise, loading docks, bars, drive-throughs, and event venues where houses are sleeping, children are playing, or wildlife is nesting. 08 NPA-2025-0025.03 - Lantana Tract 34; District 81 of 2 Health of residents is also impacted, with studies showing air quality impacts from nearby construction and high-traffic commercial uses have negative effects on breathing, lung health, asthma, elderly, and children. 3. Where you place intensity determines whether it succeeds or fails. Compatibility-driven land use ensures high-intensity uses thrive where appropriate, and neighborhoods remain stable where intended. Eliminating the buffer destabilizes both. Therefore, removing Office zoning here is not just a change — it contradicts the City’s own planning structure by eliminating the intended “step-down” layer between commercial activity and residential/environmentally sensitive land. At minimum, if Council moves forward, a Conditional Overlay and/or Restrictive Covenant must re-constitute compatibility protections, including …
Proposed Restrictive Covenant – [Tract 34 – Lantana Neighborhood Corner of William Cannon & Rialto - NPA-2025-0025.03 C14- 2025-0087] Background: there is a proposed zoning change from business to commercial near the Lantana neighborhood in Austin, Texas (Tract 34, zip code 78735). The ideal outcome for nearby residents is for the re-zoning to be denied and/or for this area to remain a green space. Though we (the residents within 500 feet of the site) are requesting restrictions, we are reasonable and not anti-development. We understand we cannot stop change and growth. Intent: To allow limited development that is compatible with the surrounding residential community and their families, protective of the environment, natural land and wildlife, and respectful of neighborhood character, safety, and quality of life. This Restrictive Covenant seeks to ensure that any redevelopment on this site enhances—not harms—the surrounding neighborhood. Residents welcome thoughtful growth but request clear boundaries to preserve the area’s safety, natural beauty, and livability for families, pets, and wildlife. Our neighborhood sits on the ecological edge of the Texas Hill Country, where the Edwards Plateau transitions into the Blackland Prairie. This area is defined by its mix of limestone terrain, mature oak and juniper woodlands, creek corridors, and diverse wildlife, including returning hawk populations, fox families, owls, and migratory birds that rely on intact habitat connections. Because West Oak Hill lies at this geographic and ecological boundary, even small changes in development intensity can create outsized impacts on water quality, wildlife movement, light pollution, noise levels, and the health of our shared greenbelt. The Hill Country–edge environment is exceptionally sensitive: it depends on low-impact lighting, protected tree canopy, careful stormwater management, and preservation of natural corridors. For this reason, any redevelopment in our area must incorporate the same environmental stewardship standards expected throughout the Texas Hill Country, ensuring that growth enhances — rather than damages — this unique and irreplaceable landscape. These requested conditions are consistent with long-established Hill Country environmental protections, including the City of Austin Hill Country Roadway Ordinance, SOS watershed standards, and regional dark-sky and wildlife-conservation principles widely adopted throughout the Texas Hill Country. 08 NPA-2025-0025.03 - Lantana Tract 34; District 81 of 9 Prohibited or Restricted High-Impact Uses Below is a comprehensive list of high-impact, incompatible, or nuisance-prone commercial uses to be prohibited through a Restrictive Covenant. These categories reflect sources of noise, traffic, safety, lighting, and environmental issues for residentially-adjacent properties …
