The proposed Conditional Overlay limits building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see pages 2-3 of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 13, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: October 13, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in agreement with the Staff recommendation. The subject site was previously developed with an approximately 2,034 square foot office building. However, in March 2021, the building was severely damaged in a fire. According to the Applicant, the building was barricaded from entry and given its condition, the property owner decided to apply for a permit to demolish the structure concurrently with the requested rezoning application. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of a portion of one platted lot, which is located south of West 14th Street, between Rio Grande Street and Nueces Street. The property proposed for 1 of 134 C14-2022-0080 Page 2 rezoning is a 0.192-acre site currently zoned as general office (GO), representing an office use that serves community or citywide needs, such as medical or professional offices. The subject site is not located within a documented floodplain or within a creek buffer. The property is rectangular in shape. The property was formerly developed with an approximate 2,034 square foot office building, but was severely damaged in a fire, and subsequently completed demolition under an approved permit (2021-178121 BP). A site plan application has been filed for a three-story (43 foot tall), 8,304 square foot office building with associated parking and utility improvements (SP-2022-0315C), and a building permit application is expected to be filed in the near future. A parking lot and trees remain on site. The property is accessible via either 14th Street or an alley to the rear (south) of the site. There are existing office uses at the properties immediately in every direction from the subject site, all of which are zoned GO. However, there are properties zoned DMU-CO a little further to the east, …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 23, 2022: Postponed to September 13, 2022 at the staff's request (12-0, S. Praxis-absent). September 13, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 135 C14-2022-0087 ISSUES: 2 During the Burnet Road, Anderson Lane and the North Shoal Creek Area neighborhood planning process, the long-range planning staff did not add the –NP combining district to the end of the zoning string for the properties in the planning area. Therefore, the rezoning request does not require the “NP” annotation. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is developed with office buildings (The Atrium Office Centre and Chancellor Center). There is an industrial use/emulsion plant (Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc.) and a landscaping supply use (Legacy Turf and Greens) to the north. The lots to the south are developed with office buildings. To the east, there is a railway and office and industrial uses. To the west is the North Mopac Expressway. The applicant is requesting CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning to bring the exiting office structures into compliance with site development regulations in the Land Development Code (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter-Exhibit C). The staff recommends CS zoning for this property because it meets the intent of the ‘CS’ district as it fronts onto the frontage road to a major arterial roadway, North Mopac Expressway (Loop 1). The proposed zoning would be consistent with existing zoning patterns in this area because there is commercial (CS) zoning to the north, office and commercial (LO, LR, GR) zoning to the south and west and office and industrial uses (zoned LI) to the east of this site. The CS zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because it would make it possible for the applicant to bring the existing office complex into compliance. In addition, the proposed zoning would permit additional services to be developed in this area along a Level 4 roadway. The property is located within the North Burnet/Gateway Station Regional …

CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 23, 2022: Postponed to September 13, 2022 at the staff's request (12-0, S. Praxis-absent). September 13, 2022 CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 1 of 116 ISSUES: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting to terminate/delete a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1982 on Lot 2 of the Westover Hills Plaza subdivision and associated with zoning site plan case C14r-82-016 (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). This covenant places restrictions on the number of stories, landscaping, reflectivity, and signage regulations that were subject to the zoning site plan on the Property (Please see Public Restrictive Covenant for C14r-82-016 - Exhibit D). These items will now be regulated under the designated base zoning districts. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to delete the conditions of this public restrictive covenant. Since this restrictive covenant was executed and recorded, the property in question has been re-subdivided numerous times. The area under consideration is now known as Lot 3 of The Atrium, Lot 2A of the Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2 The Atrium and a portion of Lot 1 of 8611 Centre subdivisions. The staff supports the deletion of this public restrictive covenant because items listed in this public restrictive covenant will now be regulated under the zoning district site development standards and other requirements stipulated by the Land Development Code. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation.
