25 LDC Amendment C20-2023-045 - Site Plan Lite Phase 2 & Infill Lots AIC Letter of Opposition — original pdf
July 9th, 2024 Planning Commission: Re: Opposing Item 25, Infill Plat & Site Plan Lite Ordinance The Austin Infill Coalition strives to unite urban infill development professionals and promote broad cooperation in order to affect positive change in Ausin’s built environment, with particular regard to housing. The Austin Infill Coalition does not support Infill Plat and Site Plan Lite draft ordinance proposed by staff, as it does not align with the objectives outlined in the resolutions and HOME ordinances, and does not achieve significant progress in addressing Austin’s Housing needs. AIC remains committed to supporting housing policies that increase housing availability and affordability, and we do not believe this ordinance accomplishes that goal. Sincerely, ________________ Ki Gray President _______________ Elle Allen Vice President Docusign Envelope ID: 9CAE30E7-754D-4B63-BE7B-9C64A499ED66 Docusign Envelope ID: 9CAE30E7-754D-4B63-BE7B-9C64A499ED66

Infill Plat Goal: To allow residential infill by creation of up to 6 lots on previously engineered/platted sites, with existing drainage patterns, and established utilities and services. These infill lots will allow either fee simple ownership, or condo form of ownership with densities, lot sizes, and impervious cover limits already allowed under zoning. Total Review Timeline: 60 Days including 30 Days Shot Clock State Rule 212.009 Applies to: Previously platted lots, or land status qualifying lots, under 1 acre and zoned for residential use How: This Public Hearing will serve to designate areas zoned for residential use under 25-2-3 as "residential improvement areas" under State Local Government Code "Amending Plat" Sec. 212.016(10) This will allow existing plats to be amended to create/configure up to 6 lots as stated in the CM Ryan Alter Resolution **Amended Plats are not Re-Plats and retain vested rights under 25-1 Article 12 WAIVED (suggested edits to LDC Chapter 25) DSD DSD DSD DSD DSD DSD DSD DSD 25-1-21 (117)(d) "Amended Plat" is minor revisions to an existing plat but in a residential improvement area may create up to 6 lots 25-4-1 (D) An existing plat may be amended to include up to 6 lots without triggering traditional subdivision review 25-4-1 (D)(1) Additional plat notes that simply mimic existing code will not be required for amended plats that do not vacate original plat 25-4-34 (F) Original Tract requirement does not apply to amended plats 25-4-84-E Fiscal Security and Engineer's cost estimate is not required for amended plats (ie.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Case No. C20-2023-045 Planning Commission: July 9, 2024 Amendment: C20-2023-045 | Site Plan Lite, Phase 2 & Infill Plats 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. 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 calculated to allow re-subdivisions to include a greater number of lots. In tandem with additional department-initiated changes, these amendments Case No. C20-2023-045 | Page - 1 Case No. C20-2023-045 Planning Commission: July 9, 2024 will better calibrate regulations applicable to small-lot single-family uses as authorized by the second HOME ordinance. Department-level Improvements — Aside from drainage regulations codified in LDC Chapter 25-7 (Drainage), most of …

Begin forwarded message: From: Date: May 13, 2024 at 3:19:50 PM CDT To: david Cancialosi Subject: Memo to Board of Adjustments David, Please pass along my apologies, along with this letter to the Board of Adjustments. Thanks so much, ~ Chris ITEM02/2 Dear Members of the Board of Adjustments, My name is Chris Renner. My wife Shannon and I are the property owners of 1306 Rockcliff Road. We have owned the residence for several years. We’re only the 3rd owners of this property in its 67 year history and intend to have it for a generation to come. We have children attending the University of Texas, relatives living locally, and are very invested in the Austin community and culture.

I very much appreciate the struggle between development and the environment. As such, I believe the setback requests before you are a result of careful planning and a minimalist approach to an otherwise non-compliant property on 3 sides. The requests are the minimum variances needed to redevelop the existing residence in a reasonable and fair manner, in the same location as the current structure since 1958. Throughout my career I have demonstrated a strong commitment to best management practices and that is certainly our intent with our home in this case. My wife and I ask that you approve the requested variances so we may continue the administrative approval process and begin replacing the 1950-era residence. I apologize in advance for not attending tonight’s meeting. I am stuck in Colorado due to weather. Thank you for your time - we appreciate …
