For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 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 middle of the block and currently zoned as general commercial services; family residence (CS; SF-3). The subject site is currently developed with a single-family residence, with a pergola and storage shed in the rear yard. Mary Street contains a broad range of residential and commercial uses, and intersects with a major arterial in South Lamar Boulevard to the west of the subject property. There are apartments to the west of the site (CS), a condominium community to the east and south, due to its unique lot shape (SF-6-CO), and an automotive repair use across the street (CS). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 1 of 9B-6 C14-2022-0057 Page 2 The applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning. Demolition of the existing structure has not been proposed at this time. The proposed rezoning would allow for the potential future development of one single-family residence, in addition to a second detached unit that would not exceed 1,100 square feet or a floor-to-area ratio of .15:1, whichever is smaller. The detached unit would be limited to two stories, or 30 feet, in height, and if a second story would be constructed for the unit, it would not be permitted to exceed 550 square feet in size. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet.

Lynch) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) district zoning. The basis of Staff’s recommendation is provided on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant has discussed this case with representatives of the Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject unplatted, undeveloped tract is located south of a driveway that extends east to South 1st Street and intersects with South 2nd and South 3rd Streets to the north, both of which extend to Oltorf Street further north.

There are single family residences to the north and east, and private elementary and high school facilities, and a religious assembly use to the south (LO-CO; LO-V-CO; SF-3).
