ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 2, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 1402 C14-2023-0009 - 10931 Stonelake Blvd. Multifamily; District 7 C14-2024-0009 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 2+ acre lot that is developed with a restaurant use (The Boat) with frontage on the southbound feeder road of North Mopac Expressway. The site under consideration and the surrounding area are zoned LI, Limited Industrial. The lots to the north and west contain hotel/motel uses. To the south, there is a service station and a restaurant- limited use. The applicant is requesting to add a PDA overlay to redevelop the site with a multifamily midrise complex with approximately 500 residential units. The staff supports the applicant’s request for LI-PDA, Limited Industrial Services-Planned Development Area, combining district zoning because the property meets the intent of the zoning district. The proposed PDA overlay will add the following permitted uses: Bed and breakfast residential (Group 1), Bed and breakfast residential (Group 2), Condominium residential, Multifamily residential, Townhouse residential and Hospital services (Limited) uses and will permit a maximum height of 180 feet and a floor to area ratio (FAR) of 3:1 on the site.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0155 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 2103 Oak Valley Road PROPERTY OWNER: Eddie & Leila Mayfield AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: SF-3 SITE AREA: 0.92 acres (40,075 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend Single-Family Residence (Large Lot) (SF-1) zoning district. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 2, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.92 acres, developed with one single family residence, has access to Oak Valley Road (level 1), and is designated interim-rural residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences (I-RR & I-SF-2) to the west, hotel-motel (ETJ) to the south, commercial and bars (ETJ) to the north, south, and east and mobile home residences (I-RR) to the north. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant and owner agree with the staff’s recommendation and are seeking a permanent zoning to allow the use of a bed and breakfast on the property. Staff is recommending single- family residence (large lot) (SF-1) zoning district because there are environmental constraints on the site that would need to limit the impervious cover and building coverage of future development. 1 of 1003 C14-2023-0155 - 2103 Oak Valley Rd; District 5 C14-2023-0155 2 Per the Watershed Protection Department, there are significant flood risks to private properties and homes downstream of this location. The additional impervious cover on this lot would, in part with other development/redevelopment in the area, exacerbate this flood risk. Based upon the city of Austin’s regulatory floodplain map, the existing building on the property at 2103 Oak Valley Road encroaches in the 100-year floodplain. If the owner proposed to construct additional buildings south of the current building location, they would be well within the 100-year floodplain and would be at significant risk of flooding. The comprehensive plan review comments this site meets four (4) of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site is located within Slaughter Lane Station Neighborhood Center and is 0.20 miles from Slaughter Lane Activity Corridor, is within 0.50 miles from goods/services and a grocery store/farmers market. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single-family residence (large lot) zoning district is intended as an area for low density single-family residential …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: SF-3 CASE: C14-2023-0155 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 2103 Oak Valley Road SITE AREA: 0.92 acres (40,075 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Eddie & Leila Mayfield AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend Single-Family Residence (Large Lot) (SF-1) zoning district. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 2, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.92 acres, developed with one single family residence, has access to Oak Valley Road (level 1), and is designated interim-rural residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences (I-RR & I-SF-2) to the west, hotel-motel (ETJ) to the south, commercial and bars (ETJ) to the north, south, and east and mobile home residences (I-RR) to the north. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant and owner agree with the staff’s recommendation and are seeking a permanent zoning to allow the use of a bed and breakfast on the property. Staff is recommending single- family residence (large lot) (SF-1) zoning district because there are environmental constraints on the site that would need to limit the impervious cover and building coverage of future development. C14-2023-0155 2 Per the Watershed Protection Department, there are significant flood risks to private properties and homes downstream of this location. The additional impervious cover on this lot would, in part with other development/redevelopment in the area, exacerbate this flood risk. Based upon the city of Austin’s regulatory floodplain map, the existing building on the property at 2103 Oak Valley Road encroaches in the 100-year floodplain. If the owner proposed to construct additional buildings south of the current building location, they would be well within the 100-year floodplain and would be at significant risk of flooding. The comprehensive plan review comments this site meets four (4) of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site is located within Slaughter Lane Station Neighborhood Center and is 0.20 miles from Slaughter Lane Activity Corridor, is within 0.50 miles from goods/services and a grocery store/farmers market. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single-family residence (large lot) zoning district is intended as an area for low density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet. This …

GREEN STREETS INITIATIVE Street Trees Keep Austin Cool March 26th, 2024 Prepared by: Kevin Howard (Urbinden) & Jana McCann, FAIA (McCann Adams Studio) WHERE ARE OUR HEAT ISLANDS? • The worst urban heat island effects follow our major street network. • Yet, streets are how we get around, where we walk, bike, roll, catch transit - exactly where it must be cooler. • AND, lower-income residents – who depend more on transit - live on the hotter, east side. • The worsening heat islands are a major public health risk for everyone, but especially our most vulnerable communities. Heat Map of Austin showing the yellow, hottest areas focused in East Austin and Downtown WHY AUSTIN NEEDS GREEN STREETS • Address challenges of densification and climate change using public rights-of-way. • Less private yard space and busier streets mean that we will rely on trees in the public realm for health and public safety • Increasing vegetation - particularly trees - is an effective way to make Austin more livable and resilient to the effects of climate change. • Street trees are essential urban infrastructure, not just “nice-to-haves” or “beautification” Example of continuous shade trees at curbside, providing both shade and protection from road for sidewalk users WHERE ARE THE TREES? • Austin over-relies on private yards and preserved natural areas for its urban forest, which are concentrated in wealthier parts of town. • Low-income and BIPOC communities are disproportionately impacted by extreme heat • Yet, street trees are one of the most desired community benefits, according to many public surveys and in the “Contracts with Voters” in recent bond elections. The City’s Tree Canopy Map shows lack of “shade equity” on the east side. 1. The LACK OF LEADERSHIP means that review staff are conducting reviews and making decisions, with little guidance and support. Departmental Silos preclude integrated and responsive urban design. 2. Austin’s RULES & REGULATIONS are not aligned with City and community priorities: if they were, street trees would be required of most public and private development. 3. The PERMITTING PROCESS – eliminating license agreement process and 4. reduce required discretion and inconsistent implementation. It is more EXPENSIVE to plant street trees in public ROWs: we need to assure they can be subsidized for transit and affordable housing projects. Street trees compete with utilities for space in the ROW and generally come out the losers – along with …
