DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant has made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063. This site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback and the proposed development is encroaching into the 25’ setback on the north and west property lines. Additionally, a portion of the site is subject to compatibility height limitations that start at 30’ (and 2 stories) and the two westernmost proposed units would exceed their 30’ limit at 36’ (and 3 stories). The west property line abuts an alley with an SF-3 property with a 5’ rear setback on the opposite side of the alley and the north property line abuts an SF-3 property with a 5’ interior side yard setback. After the previous meeting’s discussion, the applicant is now proposing to reorient their site with 5 units (36’ height and 3 stories) being setback 20’ from the west property line and 29’ from the north property line. The driveway approach is being proposed 5’ from the northern property line. If approved, this waiver will not impact sightlines at the intersection of 14th Street and Cedar Avenue. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive, or on which a use permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-001 Description: Amend certain provisions to Title 25 of the City Code to address challenges to the successful design and construction of public mobility and transit projects and associated utility projects in the City’s right-of-way. • Allow roadways sufficient maximum impervious cover limits for street cross- sections; • Clarify that zoning regulations (Chapter 25-2, Subchapter E) do not apply to linear mobility and transit projects located in the right of way; • Provide a definition of a site area for projects in the right-of-way; • Establish consistency in determining what construction in the right-of-way is considered maintenance versus redevelopment, and clarify that maintenance of existing roadways does not trigger water quality requirements; • Develop water quality calculations specific to projects in the right-of-way that cannot provide on-site water quality. Provide water quality credit for the removal of existing impervious cover, and allow payment-in-lieu of water quality treatment if other feasible solutions have been exhausted in all watershed regulation areas except the Barton Springs Zone; and, • Clarify that railways should have the same applicable environmental requirements as roadways.

Introduction The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) is Austin's comprehensive, multimodal transportation plan. Adopted in 2019, the plan guides our short- and long-term transportation projects, programs, initiatives, and investments around a common vision for all of the ways we move around Austin. In June 2020, Council passed Resolution 20200610-002 directing the City Manager to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (Ordinance No. 20190411-033) to add the Project Connect System Plan. Under this direction, the ASMP team began the process for a minor update that was limited in scope to respond to the Council Resolution and other significant events over the past two years. Austin Transportation Department staff officially initiated the process to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) in May 2021. The initial phase of this process included an interdepartmental review of the ASMP policy document and the Street Network Table and Map. The interdepartmental review effort identified several potential policy amendments that were published for public comment in October 2021, and Street Network amendments were published for public comment soon after in November 2021. The launch of these amendments to the public marked the start of public engagement for this process. The first round of public engagement included a Policy Survey and a Street Network amendments map commenting tool. Round One of public engagement ran until January 30, 2022, and a detailed report of the feedback and tools used can be found in the Round 1 Public Engagement Report. At the close of that round …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0031 – Remove Vehicular Access Restriction DISTRICT: 7 to Morrow Street ZONING FROM / TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: Intersection of Easy Wind Drive and Morrow Street SITE AREA: 32.63 acres APPLICANT: City of Austin – Housing and Planning Department CASE MANAGER: Andrei Lubomudrov (512-974-7659) Andrei.lubomudrov@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to approve the zoning change to transit oriented development – neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning, to remove the vehicular access restriction to Morrow Street. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Crestview Neighborhood Association has requested postponement of the rezoning application. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of the Staff report. The Applicant, in this case the City of Austin, has submitted a zoning application to remove a condition added to the Crestview TOD in 2011 to restrict vehicular access to Morrow Drive from Easy Wind Drive. The application was filed as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20220217-037. Removing the zoning condition restricting access would ensure long-term unimpeded access to Morrow Drive from the Crestview Station area. The Austin Transportation Department recommended removal of the gate following a three- month traffic study that found opening the gate created no significant safety risks. B-61 of 30 C14-2022-0031 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning change removes the restriction on vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive. Further changes to the Crestview Station TOD are not proposed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The transit oriented development (TOD) district is the designation for an identified transit station and the area around it. The district provides for development that is compatible with and supportive of public transit and a pedestrian-oriented environment. Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the district as it increases overall access to transit at Crestview station. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The requested change to the TOD-NP zoning would promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses by promoting easier vehicular access to transit, housing, …

We are requesting the following waiver to the Land Development Code to make the project feasible: Request: Allow to reduce the 25’ no build setback to 5’ The site is composed of 2 tracts of land adding up to 0.28 acres zoned CS-MU-V-CO-NP, surrounded by SF-3-NP properties. If it were to comply with compatibility standards, this site would be forced to be developed within 0.16-acres. To achieve this density, the unit configuration would be forced to be denser in a more compact layout. Constructing townhomes within these standards is not feasible. We would like to request that the compatibility standards are modified to reduce the no build zone from 25’ to 5’ and The 50’ setback to 20’, to build five 3-story townhomes 20’ from the western SF-3 property and 25’ from the northern SF- 3 property. Attached to this letter is the proposed building elevations sheet. We believe this request does not disrupt the neighborhood’s feel and meets the intent of the code, such that no high density or commercial developments occur in a near proximity to a single-family lot. The proposed density is 5 homes for two commercial lots. Allow to reduce the 50’ setback to 20’ [LDC 25.2.1063]. Please accept this letter as our official request. If you have any questions, please call us at 512-761-6161. Sincerely, Alejandra Flores Project Engineer May 06, 2022
Planning Commission May 10,2022 Item 22 ASMP Update _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioners; I’m Joe Reynolds. I live on West 49th St I want to briefly discuss how defective planning leads to later failed projects. Planning in Austin often focuses only on a desired outcome, not on the costs or problems of implementation. That seems very true for this version of ASMP. The streets have been considered only based on issues seen with a map, weighted by other things like bicycle plans, etc. Many of the streets have ROW specifications that have very low likelihood of being realized. Think Hancock next to the Cemetery and with a State controlled bridge over MoPac. 49th St bordered on both side by State land, and a State parking garage. Barton Creek Rd with a railroad bridge. Other plans have been similar in focus, like the Trail Plan; “Downtown to the Domain”. This defective focus leads to trouble, because during implementation the Plan is taken to be Real; “It’s approved by Council.” So, the builders don’t look for trouble, but then find it. Implementation of the Trail Plan followed the selected route, and contracted for a paved path along Shoal Creek. They didn’t check for well known geologic conditions that made the route infeasible, namely the Del Rio Clay that makes Shoal creek banks very unstable. The resulting collapse now has a cost just under $20 million. ASMP is doing the same thing, choosing routes without listing limitations. Some, like the cemetery along Hancock will be obvious problems, caught during project implementation. Others, will not likely be caught. Barton Springs Rd at Lamar has a long history of hillside collapse. Yet, ASMP calls for wider ROW that would disturb the existing hillside, causing another collapse. ASPM similarly ignores things like pipeline ROW, and like the Trail Plan, ignores geology. ASMP should not be advanced until issues of implementation are identified, recognized, and clearly noted for following teams who are building projects. Plans must be more than just desires and objectives, they must include limitations and logistics. Thank You.
