Staff offers the alternative recommendation of LR-MU-V-CO-NP. The CO in staff’s recommendation would prohibit the use of service station. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is currently undeveloped land, a gravel parking lot. It is located a block north of East Cesar Chavez Street. To the south is a medium sized church (this parcel is being considered on this same agenda, case C14-2024-0010. While they are adjacent lots they are separated by a roadway and thus must be two separate rezoning cases). To the east and west are single family structures being utilized as residential and to the north are three single family homes being utilized as residential. The tract is approximately 950 feet east of the Downtown Imagine Austin Center and approximately 300 feet south of the Plaza Saltillo Imagine Austin Center. Staff has concerns about this pocket single family neighborhood approximately 7 blocks by 1-2 blocks in area. There are at least five historical zoning cases that have been initiated within 1/3 mile of the subject tract, including a structure constructed in the late 19th century. It is clear the neighborhood is neither downtown to the west, nor the commercial corridor that Cesar Chavez is to the south, nor the TOD that Plaza Saltillo is to the north. It is something different as none of those initiatives or rezonings have made inroads into this C14-2023-0017 2 small area. Granting this rezoning could result in further requests for more intense zoning which could have substantial impacts on this neighborhood of older single-family homes. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The alternative recommendation offered, neighborhood commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) combining district zoning would allow for reasonable use of the …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 0.67 acres and is undeveloped. The rezoning area is situated at the east side of Menchaca Boulevard, approximately 840 feet south of its intersection with Ben White Boulevard.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: None CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently occupied by the Belara Austin Apartments consisting of approximately 157 units on 11.39 acres, or approximately 13.7 dwelling units per acre. The site is located within the East Riverside Corridor (ERC) Regulating Plan whose intent is to, “present a long- term vision for the area to redevelop the existing low density, auto-oriented commercial and residential uses into an urban mixed-use neighborhood that is more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.” The tract is within 1/3 mile of a proposed blue line stop for Capital Metro’s Project Connect light rail line. The residential density required to support fixed or dedicated transit service is a minimum of 50 dwelling units per acre. Target residential densities to support robust fixed or dedicated transit in an urban center are within the range of 75 to 150 dwelling units per acre within a ½ mile radius of the C14-2024-0066 2 station area. Without an increase in density, and additional mixed-use development as parcels redevelop within the station area, the CapMetro Blue Line Pleasant Valley Station and associated connecting MetroRapid Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will struggle to perform. The tract is surrounded on all four sides by several auto-centric older apartment complexes. The current land use pattern does not support transit and makes it rather unpleasant to reach daily needs. While it is noted that Crossing Place is not a through street today, the East Riverside Corridor Roadway Type Map within the adopted ERC Regulating Plan identifies a connection between the …

On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229- 073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards.

A building constructed under density bonus 90 (–DB90) standards allows for a mix of residential uses and commercial uses, and the result is typically retail, restaurants and offices on the ground floor, and residential units on upper levels. A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base CS district, and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the CS district (60 feet base plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks and building coverage. There are several methods of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements. There are two options for projects including rental units: 1) a minimum of 12% of the rental units in a building are affordable for …
