(Calvin Weiman) CASE MANAGER: Tiffany Magnavice (512-978-0722, tiffany.magnavice@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combined district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 9, 2024: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is undeveloped and approximately 0.25 acres. It is situated at the northwest corner of Gaylor Street (Level 1/Local) and Guadalupe Street (Level 2/Local). To the north are two core transit corridors; North Lamar Boulevard and Airport Boulevard. Development on Gaylor Street and Guadalupe Street is generally characterized by low density multifamily residences, single family, townhouse and condominium residences, mixed use neighborhood offices (MF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-6-NP; NO-MU-NP). There is also transit oriented development along the Capital Metro Rail Redline with uses such as auto services, retail, and commercial services (TOD-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to the family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combined district zoning for a residential development that will include three (3) dwelling units equaling approximately 3,490 square feet in total. C14-2024-0065 Page 2 Staff is recommending the family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combined district zoning. This property meets the intent of the district and would increase overall housing in this area of the City, as well as support the addition of missing-middle housing units. The required lot size is 14,000 square feet per 25-2-776 B to build three residences. Since this lot is 11,057 square feet, additional property would be needed to meet this requirement. Subsection D 2 also prohibits condos on local streets and Gaylor is designated as a Level 1 street. The new H.O.M.E amendments allow three unit residential on SF1, SF-2 and SF-3 zonings. Three-unit residential use is not a permitted use in the existing zoning, townhome and condominium residence-neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote an orderly relationship among land uses. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet.
