To: Chair Cohen Board of Adjustment Members From: Brent D. Lloyd Development Officer, DSD Date: July 8, 2022 Subject: Windsor Village Site Plan (Case No. Case No. SP-2020-093520) Appeal of Staff Interpretation of Subchapter E Requirements ________________________________________________________________________________________ The matter before the Board of Adjustment (“BOA”) is an administrative appeal of a decision by the Development Services Department (“DSD”) to approve the Windsor Village Site Plan (Case No. SP-2020- 093520), which Appellants contend is inconsistent with applicable zoning regulations. In particular, the issue of code interpretation before the Board is whether the site plan application complies with the requirements of Chapter 25-2, Subchapter E (Design Standards and Mixed Use) of the Land Development Code (“LDC”). To assist the Board in understanding the issues, this report is laid out as follows: (1) General background on the development, at pp. 1-2; (2) Procedural requirements for the appeal, at p.2; (3) A summary of the issues before the Board, at pp. 2-3; and (4) DSD’s response to the issues raised by Appellants, at pp. 3-6. 1. Summary of Site Plan Application Subchapter E authorizes the construction of Vertical Mixed Use (“VMU”) development to facilitate a mix of commercial and residential uses on properties with “V” zoning. The site plan approval at issue in this is appeal is for a VMU development located at 5900 Westminster Drive, which is located in the University Hills/Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan between Westminster Drive and Berkman Drive. (For reference, a location map of the site is provided on the following page.) The site plan application consists of three VMU buildings located on Lot 1 and a 1.17-acre park dedicated to the City of Austin on Lot 3, with Westminster Drive serving as the principal street frontage for the development. Lots 2 and 4 are not proposed for development as part of this application. Building A is a 261,842 square foot building comprised of multi-family residential and retail. Building B is a 78,223 square foot building comprised of multi-family residential. Building B is connected to Building A via a structural awning and is therefore considered one structure. Building C is a 43,200 square foot building comprised of multi-family residential, personal services, and retail. 1 A-1/1-Staff report 2. Procedural Requirements for Appeal Appellants own the property located at 5801 Westminster Drive, which is occupied by Austin Mennonite Church and located within 200 feet of the development at issue.

Ricardo Villalobos Ramirez, Elaine From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: C15-2022-0051 - Notice of Public Hearing Appeal Friday, July 01, 2022 3:59:18 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good afternoon Elaine, My name is Ricardo Villalobos, P.E. and I am a resident in the Windsor Park Neighborhood. Copied on this email is my husband, Clayton Robbins, who also shares my views on this hearing as stated below. Our address is 2005 Northridge Dr, Austin, TX 78723 and we reside within 500 ft of the proposed development at 5900 Westminster Drive. We received a Notice of Public Hearing Land Development Code Variance - Interpretation Appeal and we wanted to submit our comments to the board. We have been following the proposed development of the 5900 Westminster Drive property and have been seeing a concerning chain of events. We would like to raise two comments of concern on the development and object to the current site plan application as follows: Item one, the first iteration of the design started with a 12+ acre development plan. The developer has now split the property into a number of smaller lots for the purposes of curtailing the requirements of the LDC to perform proper reviews and designs, meeting the needs of a large phased development. For instance, Section 2.2.5 of the LDC requires an Internal Circulation Route (ICR) for development of a site five acres or larger with frontage on a core transit corridor or urban roadway. If the developer intends to develop the entirety of the 12+ acre land, the site plan should follow all of the requirements of a master plan in a phased approach, not as less-than-5 acre individual site plans. The second item of concern is that the zoning requirements are also being skirted. First off, the zoning as shown on the plans is GR-V-CO-NP (a community commercial zone with vertical mixed use, following the neighborhood plan combining district) Vertical mixed use allows for inclusion of residential and commercial space combined. However, 49,980 SF of commercial space will be demolished and according to the C200 sheet of the Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) reviewed by Jaime Cardenas on April 18, 2022, no replacement of commercial space has been designed in. I believe the removal of that amount of commercial property defies the overall intent of the community commercial zoning requirements. It has been over a year now that all …

There are Personal Services (West End Salon and Crimson Hair Salon) to the north and west. The lots to the east are developed with office uses. To the south, there is an office use and a residence. The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to redevelop these lots with office uses. The property is located within the Northwest District in the Downtown Area Plan. The Downtown Area Plan calls for DMU 60 for these tracts (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits). The staff recommends DMU-CO, Downtown Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining district, zoning.

The property is in the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict and is developed with 120 multifamily units that are approximately 36 years old. All of the other properties on the same side of Town Lake Circle are also developed with multifamily land uses. While the subject property and the property immediately to the west are in the NMU subdistrict, the remainder of the properties on the street are in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict. Across Town Lake Circle is property that was previously developed with apartments that were demolished in 2008-2010 that is also in the CMU subdistrict. To the east and southeast of the subject property (along Pleasant Valley Drive) are other CMU subdistrict properties that include multifamily land use, undeveloped property, and retail-limited (HEB grocery) land uses. To the west and southwest (along East Riverside Drive) are properties that are in the NMU and CMU subdistricts.

Correspondence from the OWANA Zoning Committee is attached at the back of this report. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located at the north corner of Highland Avenue and the unbuilt Bellemont Street, and within the Smoot / Terrace Park Historic District. The subject lot is zoned multifamily residence – moderate-high density – historic area – neighborhood plan (MF-4-HD-NP) combining district zoning, and contains one single family residence on the south side and an undeveloped area on the north side. There is a single family residence and 1 of 15B-10 C14-2022-0047 Page 2 a triplex to the north, and single family residences to the east, south and west (MF-4-HD-NP; MF-4-H-HD-NP; SF-3-HD-NP; SF-3-H-HD-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested the single family residence-small lot – historic area – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-HD-NP) district in order to facilitate a resubdivision of the lot and build a single family residence on the north side of the rezoning area on a new lot. Changes are not proposed to the existing single family residence. The existing lot does not meet the minimum size required for a resubdivision to occur under the family residence (SF- 3) base zoning district (11,500 square feet would be needed), hence the need for the SF-4A base zoning district which has a minimum lot size of 3,600 square feet.

C20-2022-002 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-002 Commercial Parkland Dedication Description: Consider an amendment to Title 25-1 of the City Code to require parkland dedication for commercial developments. Proposed Language: See attached draft ordinance. Summary of proposed code amendment • Parkland dedication would apply to new commercial developments, specifically office, retail, industrial/warehouse, and hotel uses. This would be in addition to the existing residential requirements currently in effect. The commercial requirement would use the current formula of 9.4 acres of parkland per 1,000 new users of the parks system. The commercial uses would be calculated based on the number of employees per square foot, discounted by hours of operation, occupancy rate, and commuter percentage rates. Criteria for dedication and fee in-lieu would remain the same as for residential developments. • • Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution 20220407-042 On April 7, 2022, Council approved resolution No. 20220407-042, which initiated code amendments to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance in City Code Chapter 25- I (General Requirements and Procedures) to require parkland dedication for office, industrial, and commercial developments; and directed the City Manager to place the code amendment on an upcoming Council agenda that provides Council with sufficient time to adopt the ordinance and place the fee into the Fiscal Year 2023 budget; a 10-0 vote with Council Member Harper-Madison off the dais. Staff Recommendation: Staff brings forward the amendment with recommendation. Board and Commission Actions July 12, 2022: To be reviewed by the Planning Commission.

Pritchard) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends DMU-CO, Downtown Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will limit the height on the property to a maximum of 60 feet. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 12, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-81 of 15 C14-2022-0055 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The two lots under consideration are developed with single family residential homes. There are Personal Services (West End Salon and Crimson Hair Salon) to the north and west. The lots to the east are developed with office uses. To the south, there is an office use and a residence. The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to redevelop these lots with office uses. The property is located within the Northwest District in the Downtown Area Plan. The Downtown Area Plan calls for DMU 60 for these tracts (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits). The staff recommends DMU-CO, Downtown Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining district, zoning. The proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning patterns in this area and with the recommendations of the Downtown Area Plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Downtown Mixed Use district is intended for areas on the periphery of CBD classifications in the central core area, permitting a variety of uses compatible with downtown Austin and allowing intermediate densities as a transition from the commercial core to surrounding districts. Site development regulations are intended to permit combinations of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed DMU zoning would be consistent with the DMU-CO zoning located to the north of this site. There are office and low intensity commercial uses to the north, south, east and west of the property under consideration. This property is located within the …

The property is in the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict and is developed with 120 multifamily units that are approximately 36 years old. All of the other properties on the same side of Town Lake Circle are also developed with multifamily land uses. While the subject property and the property immediately to the west are in the NMU subdistrict, the remainder of the properties on the street are in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict. Across Town Lake Circle is property that was previously developed with apartments that were demolished in 2008-2010 that is also in the CMU subdistrict. To the east and southeast of the subject property (along Pleasant Valley Drive) are other CMU subdistrict properties that include multifamily land use, undeveloped property, and retail-limited (HEB grocery) land uses. To the west and southwest (along East Riverside Drive) are properties that are in the NMU and CMU subdistricts. These properties are developed with commercial shopping centers with uses including restaurant-limited, retail, pawn shop and other uses.
