For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the intersection of Bluff Springs Road and Tranquilo Trail and is currently zoned as single family – small lot – conditional overlay (SF-4A-CO) district (C14-98-0224 – Ordinance No. 990506-65). The Conditional Overlay serves to restrict the project site and all other existing and previously authorized uses within the combining district to a maximum cumulative total of 2,000 vehicular trips per day and also to prohibit vehicular access from the subject property to Dakota Lane. 1 of 8B-7 C14-2022-0067 Page 2 It should also be noted that a Longhorn Pipeline gas easement is recorded over the subject property, as verified by the submitted survey. The easement requires a 50-foot building setback from the gas lines and additional building construction and design standards may be required for the proposed residential units, including the installation of fire sprinklers, a restriction on the proposed locations of windows, and limitations on construction materials designed to ensure that fire-resistive materials are used. The subject site is mostly triangular in shape and is currently undeveloped. Bluff Springs Road primarily features residential uses of varying densities. There are apartments to the west of the site (CS-MU-CO), single-family residences to the north and east (SF-4A-CO), and an automotive repair use to the south (I-RR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The applicant has requested townhouse & condominium (SF-6) district zoning. The application indicates that the applicant intends to construct seven residential units on the property. The SF-6 district does not establish a maximum density or floor area ratio for each lot. However, the district does identify a maximum building height of 35 feet and a maximum building coverage of 40%. The …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0040 – Pioneer Hill Plaza Z.A.P. DATE: July 5, 2022 DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 10017-1/2 Dessau Road and 1501-1/2 Arborside Drive AREA: 3.448 acres OWNER: Continental Homes of Texas (John Sparrow) APPLICANT: Doan & Associates (Julie Doan) ZONING FROM: MF-3-CO TO: CS SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO. The conditional overlay would prohibit automotive rental, automotive sales, automotive repair services, automotive washing (of any type), and service station. An existing Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be attached to the property via conditional overlay or public restrictive covenant. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: July 17, 2022: July 5, 2022: To grant postponement to July 17, 2022, as requested by applicant, on consent. CITY COUNCIL DATE: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1st 2nd 3rd ORDINANCE NUMBER: CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin e-mail: heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov PHONE: 512-974-2122 1 of 39B-8 C14-2022-0040 Page 2 ISSUES: The rezoning tract was included in a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the overall Pioneer Hill area that was approved in 2002 and amended in 2003 and 2011. At that time, the City of Austin attached TIA requirements via conditional overlay (CO) instead of via public restrictive covenant (RC). Staff recommends that the property remain subject to the TIA; City of Austin Law Department will determine whether a CO or RC is appropriate to tie the TIA to the property. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dessau Road and Arborside Drive. The undeveloped property is currently zoned MF-3-CO, with the CO attaching TIA requirements as described in the Issues section. An unconstructed road right-of-way (ROW) is along the south side of the property (Edgeworth Bend), and unnamed streets are located along the east property lines. Property to the south and southeast is zoned MF-4 and includes undeveloped land and multifamily land uses. East of the rezoning tract are undeveloped SF-6-CO tracts; further northeast of the property are SF-6-CO tracts that are developed with small lot single family residences. Across Arborside Drive to the north is undeveloped land zoned MF-3-CO. Across Dessau Road to the west is a single family neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The subject property was rezoned from Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) to GR-CO and LI-CO in 2011.

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: Transportation Impact Analysis Final Memo June 27, 2022 Santiago Araque, P.E., Kimley-Horn and Associates. Inc. Bryan Golden, Maria Cardenas, Austin Transportation Department Alta Blue Goose Zoning Case Number C14-2021-0194C Summary of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA): Austin Transportation Department (ATD) has reviewed the “Alta Blue Goose TIA” dated February 18, 2022, and the subsequent update received on April 14, 2022 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The proposed development is in Travis County, north of Blue Goose Road between Cameron Road and Harris Branch Parkway in the City of Austin Extra Territorial Jurisdiction, as shown in Figure 2. The site is currently on land being rezoned and annexed concurrently. The development is anticipated to contain 890 single-family dwelling units and a 300,000 square foot commercial shopping center. The project includes the future alignment of Braker Lane as per the ASMP and the future realignment of Blue Goose Road. It should be noted that the section of Blue Goose Road that is proposed to be realigned is in Travis County jurisdiction. The existing site is vacant and is expected to be built in one phase. It is estimated that the full buildout will be completed in the year 2024. A TIA was performed for this zoning case to better understand the existing and future traffic patterns in the surrounding area and to identify any potential impacts from the introduction of traffic associated with the proposed development. The site proposes access onto future Braker Lane, which is classified as a Level 3 collector street with 120 feet of required right- of-way. Braker Lane is anticipated to be a 4-lane roadway with approximately 26 feet of pavement width for vehicular travel lanes, 2 lanes in each direction, a buffered bike lane, and sidewalk on both sides. The roadway will be divided by a median of approximately 14 feet width from face of curb to face of curb. Bike lanes and 6-foot sidewalks will be adjacent to the road, divided by a 4-foot-wide buffer in both directions of travel. Figure 1: Future Braker Lane Page 1 of 6 As a transportation condition of approval for the above referenced zoning application, the applicant shall comply with the recommendations below: 1. Dedicate 120 feet of right-of-way per the ASMP for future Braker Lane at the time of final plat. 2. Design and construct Braker Lane extension and the realignment of Blue …

Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; according to the 2020 Imagine Austin Compact and Connected Indicators, developed land area, annual unlinked transit passenger trips, vehicle miles traveled per capita, percentage of trips by biking and walking, and transportation system total annual delay are all “headed in the wrong direction;” and Whereas; fatalities, serious injuries, and total crashes in Austin have increased year over year in the Austin area since 2018; and Whereas; designing communities with options for bicycling and walking increases opportunities for physical activity, especially for children and families; and Whereas; car ownership in Texas costs almost $10,000 a year; and Whereas; dead-end streets and disconnected networks increase vehicle miles traveled and time spent in the car, which have been associated with obesity, decreased opportunities for active travel, stress, impacts on mental health, less time to spend with family and friends, and less time to engage in community activities. Whereas, connected street networks help reduce traffic on major thoroughfares, are cheaper to build and maintain; and Whereas a connected street grid makes walking, biking, and transit use more desirable options; and Whereas, the way streets are laid out now determines the pattern for future growth; and Whereas subdivisions with too few access streets results in dangerous situations in the event of flooding or wildfires; and Therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend that the Austin City Council seek to revise and amend Land Development Code sections § 25-4-151 through § 25-4-157 to meet the intent of Imagine Austin Priority Program and seek to enhance connectivity and affordability in new subdivision design; and Be it further resolved that the proposed changes recommended by the Zoning and Platting Commission are: 1. § 25-4-151 – Require connections and alignment of all stub out streets of a new subdivision to existing or proposed streets. If street connection infeasible, provide connection through a multi- use trail; and 2. § 25-4-152 – Prohibit dead-end streets and/or cul-de-sacs unless the director determines that topography, natural features, or unusual conditions make connection to an existing or proposed street infeasible; and 3. § 25-4-152 – If allowed by the director, a dead-end street and/or cul-de-sac must be no longer than 300 feet and …
