NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: Central West Austin Combined CASE#: NPA-2025-0027.01 DATE FILED: March 27, 2025 PROJECT NAME: Lake Austin PC DATE: May 27, 2025 ADDRESS/ES: 2406 Lake Austin Blvd DISTRICT AREA: 10 SITE AREA: 7,290 sq. ft./0.1674 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: Wildan Enterprises, LLC AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Maureen Meredith PHONE: (512) 974-2695 STAFF EMAIL: Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov TYPE OF AMENDMENT: Change in Future Land Use Designation From: Neighborhood Commercial To: Mixed Use Base District Zoning Change Related Zoning Case: C14-2025-0026 From: GR-NP To: GR-MU-NP NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: September 23, 2010 CITY COUNCIL DATE: TBD ACTION: 06 NPA-2025-0027.01 - Lake Austin; District 101 of 25 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: May 27, 2025 – (action pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for a Mixed Use land use designation because the property fronts onto Lake Austin Boulevard, an activity corridor identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan’s Growth Concept Map. A Mixed Use future land use category is appropriate along those corridors. Furthermore, the associated zoning change request from GR-NP (Community Commercial – Neighborhood Plan) to GR-MU-NP (Community Commercial –Mixed Use combining district- Neighborhood Plan) and the future land use map change request from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed Use will make the zoning and land use designation consistent. The Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan (2010) was approved before the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (2012) when activity corridors and activity centers were designated. The existing zoning on the property is GR-NP, and the existing land use on the future land use map is Neighborhood Commercial. The most intense zoning district compatible with the existing land use of Neighborhood Commercial land use is LR – MU (Neighborhood Commercial – Mixed Use). The zoning on properties along this segment of Lake Austin Boulevard varies from CS-NP, GR-NP, GR-CO-NP, LR-NP, GO-CO-NP, and LO-NP, making most sites inconsistent with their land use designation of Neighborhood Commercial. Although the subject tract is the only one presently requesting a change to Mixed Use, this designation would be the most compatible land use for all these sites along this segment of Lakeshore Boulevard, given its designation as an activity corridor in the comprehensive plan. 06 NPA-2025-0027.01 - Lake Austin; District 102 of 25 The Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan envisions Lake Austin Blvd as a gateway into the planning …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0042 (9117 Northgate Rezone) DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 9117 Northgate Boulevard ZONING FROM: GO-CO-NP TO: GR-CO-NP SITE AREA: 1.0662 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Nuraminco Inc.(Abdul Patel) APPLICANT/AGENT: Land Answers, Inc. (Tamara Mitchell) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GR-CO-NP, Community Commercial-Conditional Overlay- Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit Automotive Rentals, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type) and Service Station uses on the property. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 13, 2025: Postponed to May 27, 2025 at the neighborhood's request by consent (10-0, P. Howard, C. Hempel and D. Skidmore-absent); F. Maxwell-1st, A. Woods-2nd. May 27, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 11 C14-2025-0042 - 9117 Northgate Rezone; District 41 of 14 C14-2025-0042 ISSUES: On May 9, 2025, the applicant submitted a letter stating that they were amending their rezoning request to add a list of prohibited uses that they had agreed to with the neighborhood association (please see Exhbit D). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a grassy, undeveloped tract of land that slopes steeply to the south. There is floodplain covering the southern boundary of the site with a natural detention/culvert (Little Walnut Creek). There are multifamily residential developments to the north, south and west zoned MF-3-NP. To the south, there is a retail center zoned GR- NP. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from GO-CO-NP to GR-CO-NP to develop a restaurant on this 1.07 acre parcel. This property is located within the North Austin Civic Association (NACA) Neighborhood Plan. The current and use designation on the FLUM is Commercial land use. Therefore, a plan amendment is not required and the proposed zoning is consistent with the FLUM designation. The staff is recommending GR-CO-NP, Community Commercial-Conditional Overlay- Neighborhood Plan Combining District zoning. The staff is proposing a conditional overlay to prohibit automotive and service station uses in this case because property contains floodplain and is located adjacent to existing residential developments. The proposed rezoning will allow for additional services within walking distance of higher density residential uses. There is Capital Metro bus service along Northgate Boulevard (Routes 324 & 481) and the site under consideration is located across from a Capital Metro bus stop (#3155 – 9120 Northgate/Rundberg). This property is within 0.07 miles of the Rundberg Lane/Ferguson Activity Corridor and 0.10 miles of the North Burnet/Gateway Station Regional Center. The applicant agrees with …
