Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Subject: Holly Neighbors Sunday, May 3, 2026 9:07 PM Historic Preservation Office; Holly Neighborhood Association Board Case # PR 2026-040403; 1808 Cesar Chavez, 'Weather Up' property You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Commissioners, I am writing on behalf of the Holly Neighborhood Association on the case number above, regarding the property at 1808 Chavez. This home most recently held the Weather Up bar, but has sat vacant for several years. The Historic Landmark Commission is set to hear the application for demolition on this Tuesday, May 8. We would request a delay in order to more fully inform neighbors of the application and the history of the house, give them an opportunity to address the Commission. The staff notes that the application times out in July. Your consideration of the neighbor's interest in the property would be greatly appreciated.

This property is identified by the Landmark Commission as being built in the 1930s, and originally housed a barber shop and beauty salon for many years. The property was identified by the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey as eligible as a City of Austin Landmark. Developers continue to bulldoze through East Austin, and there is very little opportunity for residents to take action. While the Preservation Austin might not deem this building important, it is critical that local residents have a say in what happens to their neighborhood. I truly dislike the fact that all I can do is write this email. I have wanted to speak when attending online meetings/hearings and there is no way for attendees to voice their opinions in this forum. This is truly unfortunate. Thank you. Sarah Arvey -- …

Steering Committee Members: Stephen L.

OWANA was first notified of this request on Tuesday, April 28, and met with the applicant thereafter on Thursday, April 30. At the time of the meeting, the applicant was able to provide only limited details regarding both the historical significance of either structure and any future plans for the site. During our discussion, we emphasized the importance of preserving contributing structures within the district, as the cumulative loss of such buildings could jeopardize the district’s historic designation. Based on our understanding, the structures appear to be in good condition. We strongly encourage allowing additional time for staff to conduct further archival research, which may reveal information supporting potential landmark designations. The 2025 Downtown Austin historic resource survey lists 403 Orchard Street as a high priority and eligible for the National Register as an individual resource. If the findings do not yield criteria to meet the metrics of nomination, OWANA recommends that the applicant make a genuine effort to relocate and financially fund expenses related to the relocation of these structures. Supporting and maintaining the integrity of our National Historic District is of great importance to OWANA. Given the limited information and limited amount of time currently available before the May 6th Landmark Commission meeting, OWANA supports a Landmark Commission initiated postponement of both demolition cases, 403 Orchard Street and 1208 West 4th Street, to allow for a more thorough understanding of the structures and site. We hope the applicant will agree that this is a prudent and necessary step in the process. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Stephen L. Amos Chair Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, Inc. OWANA

Section 25-8-26 of the Land Development Code (Redevelopment Exception in the Barton Springs Zone) allows for redevelopment of existing commercial properties in the Barton Springs Zone. Section 25-8-26 supersedes Article 13 (Save Our Springs Initiative), to the extent of conflict. There are many requirements associated with the redevelopment exception. However, in brief summary the redevelopment exception resets the watershed impervious cover limit equal to the amount of impervious cover currently on site. 10 What is the Redevelopment Exception (RE)? (continued) So the redevelopment exception allows the developer to remove existing impervious cover and build back up to the same amount of impervious cover. To be clear, there are other requirements including regulations that provide environmental benefit. 11 What are the requirements of the RE? LDC 25-8-26(E) lays out nine requirements: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. May not increase impervious cover. May not increase non-compliance Critical Water Quality Zone, Water Quality Transition Zone, or Critical Environmental Feature requirements. Must comply with Environmental Resource Inventory, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, and fiscal requirements. The water quality controls on the redevelopment site must provide a level of water quality treatment that is equal to or greater than that which was previously provided. Item no. 6 provides additional WQ requirements. Must obtain a Barton Springs Zone Operating Permit for ponds. 12 What are the requirements of the RE? (continued) 6.

CCHOA does not formally support (conditionally or otherwise) or oppose the Stratus application. Instead, the purpose of the December letter was twofold: (a) to emphasize the need to go through the proper procedure and (b) to emphasize what the CCHOA Board perceives as serious safety and traffic concerns that should be addressed in the terms of any approvals that the City may choose to grant. This letter and the December 10 letter represent the opinions of the HOA Board of Directors, and should not be interpreted as indicative of the opinions or concerns that individual residents in Circle C may have expressed on their own.

03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 5 - Revised Petition — original pdf
PETITION ,^,", ff fl7filn File Number: Cl4-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract I l0 Address of Rezoning Request: ll0l0-ll2 South Mopac Exoressway Southbound To: Austin City Council We, the undersigned owners of property affected by the requested zoning change described in the referenced file, do hereby protest against any change of the Land Development Code which would zone the property to any classification other than GS-MU-CO - General Commercial Services - Mixed Use - Conditional Overlav, district. REASONS FOR OUR PROTEST: As members of the surrounding community, we strongly oppose the proposed modification to the conditional overlay affecting this property. Residents purchased their homes with the understanding that the existing Circle C Development Agreement and its zoningprotections would remain in place. We do not support amendments that would fundamentally alter those expectations. Environmental Constraints : The property lies within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, the Barton Springs Watershed, and a designated Drinking Water Protection Zone. As such, it is subject to strict regulations, including impervious cover limits enforced by TCEQ and the Save Our Springs (SOS) Ordinance. Any intensification of development raises concerns about long-term environmental impacts and water quality. Traffic and Safety Impacts: Proposed access to Dahlgreen Avenue----even if limited to emergency vehicles-would increase traffrc near Kiker Elementary School and create additional safety risks. The addition of high- density multifamily units is likely to increase congestion, noise, and pollution. Furthermore, projected vehicle trip estimates may be understated, particularly given the limited availability of public transportation in the area. Property Values: Homeowners purchased their properties based on the 2002 zoning and associated conditional overlays. Changes of this magnitude may negatively impact nearby property values and undermine long-standing community expectations. Deviation from Neighborhood Character: The proposed development represents a significant departure from the existing low-density, 03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 51 of 17 single-family character of the Circle C community. Many residents view this as overdevelopment that is incompatible with the established neighborhood pattem. Concerns Regarding Spot Zoning: The proposal may be perceived as a form of spot zoning or as granting a special privilege to a single property owner to maximize parcel value, rather than adhering to consistent, community- wide planning principles. Quality of Life Considerations: Decisions should prioritize the long-term well-being of residents, including impacts related to noise, light pollution, traffrc, and overall livability.

-----Original Message----- From: Adrienne Flannery Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 3:27 PM To: Estrada, Nancy <Nancy.Estrada@austintexas.gov> Subject: C14-2025-0064 External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Nancy, I received a notice regarding the rezoning of Trace 11010-1/2 south Mopac Expressway Southbound. I live at 5704 Galsworthy Ct, which backs up to Dahlgreen Ave and I strongly oppose the amendments to the conditions of the zoning. What is in place was already a compromise with the developer. Looking at the proposed development, the traffic that it will cause coming into the neighborhood as well as light pollution, animal displacement, and extra pull on the already stressed water system in a very sensitive recharge zone is not what we agreed to when we moved into this house. Thank you for taking your time to listen to our feedback. Sincerely, Adrienne Flannery Homeowner 5704 Galsworthy Ct CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

The current zoning (approved in 2002) includes a Conditional Overlay that restricts uses and explicitly prohibits vehicular access to Dahlgreen Avenue. Homeowners purchased properties with the understanding that this restriction would remain in place. The proposal to remove this prohibition represents a significant and concerning change. Residents have several ongoing concerns: Lack of notice and transparency: After the proposal was put on hold last year, no new signage was posted along Dahlgreen regarding the April 21 hearing. Many residents only …
03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 8 - Public Comments 2 — original pdf
We are very disappointed in our HOA board’s lack of communication to our community and we are going to have to work on that with them separately, but we feel like we need to come forward today to ask you to reconsider this zoning effort. When Stratus first created a Master Plan for the entire Circle C community they included this Tract and there have been so many things developed since then that make the original plan of exit points in our community a really bad idea. We need major studies to address the dangers by two schools, one college, one giant community pool and a preschool nearby. It is not a good idea to add 1500 cars to our community circulating on residential streets. When asked if Stratus has similar developments to their proposed Tract 110 - the HOA Board said at last week’s meeting that Stratus referenced the Lantana Development off of Southwest Parkway as a similar quote unquote luxury development. I would like to point out that the Lantana and surrounding Stratus properties is the first major development in that area and so it has excellent roads and access points for a development of this size. Unfortunately, TRACT 110 is the LAST major development in Circle C not the first and we do not have a safe way to do what they are asking. Tract 110 is better suited for a rec center or a LEED certified museum in line with the UT Texas Wildflower Center not a huge last-ditch effort to make a lot of money – upwards of $200 MILLION destroying our community. The best location for a development of this size is actually on Slaughter Lane. There are wonderful swaths of land that have low single level retail mini malls that could easily be redeveloped with multi-level mixed use condo developments with four lane road infrastructure already in place, wonderful restaurants, doctor’s office, urgent care, a movie theatre, an HEB for easy walkable access that would love and actually need more business as well as great access to MOPAC and public transportation. We do not need to destroy this giant ecological gem of a land for something that isn’t safe and doesn’t make sense. Please ask Stratus to go back to CAD and present some new ideas with their zoning efforts factoring in our willingness for a well thought-out seamless, feasible master plan. Thank …

CIRCLE C HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. 7817 LA CROSSE AVENUE • AUSTIN, TEXAS 78739 • ( 512) 288-8663 City of Austin Mayor Kirk Watson City Council Members – Natasha Harper-Madison; Vanessa Guentes; Jose Valasquez, Jose Vela; Ryan Alter; Krista Laine; Mike Siegel; Paige Ellis; Zohaib Qadri & Marc Duchen 301 W 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 May 3, 2026 Dear Mayor Watson and Council Members, Subject: Proposed Stratus Project at 11010 ½ South Mopac Expressway Southbound In anticipation of the May 5, 2026 Planning and Zoning meeting on the above referenced matter, the Circle C HOA Board offers a point of clarification on the previous letter of Dec.10, 2025 (attached hereto) as follows: The December 10 letter should not be construed as an expression of support for the Stratus request to change the use of the tract from commercial to multi-family. CCHOA does not formally support (conditionally or otherwise) or oppose the Stratus application. Instead, the purpose of the December letter was twofold: (a) to emphasize the need to go through the proper procedure and (b) to emphasize what the CCHOA Board perceives as serious safety and traffic concerns that should be addressed in the terms of any approvals that the City may choose to grant. This letter and the December 10 letter represent the opinions of the HOA Board of Directors, and should not be interpreted as indicative of the opinions or concerns that individual residents in Circle C may have expressed on their own.

03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 8 - Revised Petition V2 — original pdf
PETITION ,^,", ff fl7filn File Number: Cl4-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract I l0 Address of Rezoning Request: ll0l0-ll2 South Mopac Exoressway Southbound To: Austin City Council We, the undersigned owners of property affected by the requested zoning change described in the referenced file, do hereby protest against any change of the Land Development Code which would zone the property to any classification other than GS-MU-CO - General Commercial Services - Mixed Use - Conditional Overlav, district. REASONS FOR OUR PROTEST: As members of the surrounding community, we strongly oppose the proposed modification to the conditional overlay affecting this property. Residents purchased their homes with the understanding that the existing Circle C Development Agreement and its zoningprotections would remain in place. We do not support amendments that would fundamentally alter those expectations. Environmental Constraints : The property lies within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, the Barton Springs Watershed, and a designated Drinking Water Protection Zone. As such, it is subject to strict regulations, including impervious cover limits enforced by TCEQ and the Save Our Springs (SOS) Ordinance. Any intensification of development raises concerns about long-term environmental impacts and water quality. Traffic and Safety Impacts: Proposed access to Dahlgreen Avenue----even if limited to emergency vehicles-would increase traffrc near Kiker Elementary School and create additional safety risks. The addition of high- density multifamily units is likely to increase congestion, noise, and pollution. Furthermore, projected vehicle trip estimates may be understated, particularly given the limited availability of public transportation in the area. Property Values: Homeowners purchased their properties based on the 2002 zoning and associated conditional overlays. Changes of this magnitude may negatively impact nearby property values and undermine long-standing community expectations. Deviation from Neighborhood Character: The proposed development represents a significant departure from the existing low-density, 03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 17 single-family character of the Circle C community. Many residents view this as overdevelopment that is incompatible with the established neighborhood pattem. Concerns Regarding Spot Zoning: The proposal may be perceived as a form of spot zoning or as granting a special privilege to a single property owner to maximize parcel value, rather than adhering to consistent, community- wide planning principles. Quality of Life Considerations: Decisions should prioritize the long-term well-being of residents, including impacts related to noise, light pollution, traffrc, and overall livability.

SITE AREA: 67.138 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Circle C Land, LP (Erin D. Pickens) AGENT: Drenner Group PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – conditional overlay (CS-MU-CO) combining district zoning, to change conditions of zoning. The Conditional Overlay will be modified to remove the following prohibited uses on Tract B: Multifamily residential, General retail sales (convenience), General retail sales (general), Financial services, Personal improvement services, Restaurant (general) and Medical offices (over 5,000 square feet).

TSCHOEPE – ABSENT 03 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 58 C14-2025-0064 Page 2 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: Signatures of adjacent property owners have been submitted in response to the above- referenced rezoning case, opposing a rezoning of the property to anything other than CS- MU-CO, with no changes to the conditional overlay. The petition includes 0.0% of eligible signatures and therefore does not meet the 20% threshold for a valid petition. Please refer to Attachment D (Petition). The Circle C Board of Directors and Homeowners Association has provided a letter of support for the proposed modification to the Conditional Overlay. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped property is described as Tract B and is a part of Tract 110 of the Stratus Property at Circle C. It consists of approximately 67 acres located along the west side of South Mopac Expressway (Loop 1), just north of State Highway 45. Zoning for this tract as well as several other Stratus properties in the vicinity was established in August 2002.
