BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is located on the south side of Stobaugh Street approximately 400 feet west of the main traffic lanes (~300 feet from frontage road) of North Lamar Blvd, which is identified as an activity corridor on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept map where increased density is supported. The existing land use is Single family and the proposed land use is Multifamily. Mixed Use land use is on adjacent property to the north and east side of the subject tract. Single family and multifamily land use is on adjacent property to the south and single family land is on adjacent property to the west. The applicant’s request for Multifamily land use will provide a buffer between the auto body shop commercial use directly to the east of the property and the single family uses to the west. The property is near public transit facilities and within walking distance to commercial uses. Adding additional dwelling units in this location is appropriate. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan document recommends that existing single family areas retain the SF-3 zoning, however, given the need for housing in Austin, transitioning these two lots to multifamily will provide an opportunity to increase housing options in the planning area and the city. 2 2 of 53B-6 Planning Commission: July 13, 2021 Subject tracts location near Project Connect proposed light rail Orange and Blue lines LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical …

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-10 C14-2021-0058 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a mixed use project that includes multifamily, office and commercial land uses. They intend to provide on-site affordable multifamily units at 10% of the gross floor area per the TOD Density Bonus. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant requests increasing the building height from 60 feet to 90 feet. This includes updating the Station Area Plan (SAP) and Regulating Plan. The request also requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA), which is being processed concurrent with the rezoning request (City File # NPA- 2020-0002.02). The rezoning request was originally filed requesting a maximum building height of 85 feet. After further discussions with the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (ECC NPCT), the Applicant revised the request to a maximum height of 90 feet due to variation in topography that affect calculations of building height under City Code. The Applicant has stated that they will enter into a private restrictive covenant to establish where the increased height will be located on the site.

The rezoning tract is located on the south side of Stobaugh Street between North Lamar Blvd. and Watson Street. There are 2 detached residences on the tract. The south side of Stobaugh Street is zoned for family residences (SF-3-NP) with the exception of the commercial property on the east end of the block, which is zoned (CS-MU-V-CO-NP) where an auto body shop currently operates. While that business fronts on North Lamar Blvd. it takes access from both Lamar and Stobaugh. The north side of Stobaugh is a mixture of three different zone districts. About half of the north side is zoned family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP), the rest is zoned general commercial services-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (CS-CO-NP), or limited office- mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LO-MU-CO-NP). The LO district appears to function as a buffer between the commercial and residential zones. It …

The conditional overlay is to cap the maximum number of units on the property to 25. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 13, 2021 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021 To be Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There are no known issues at this time and staff has not received any written or emailed comments in favor of or in opposition to this rezoning case. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 14.17 acres in size and is developed with a few free-standing structures. These structures are not dwelling units and would be demolished should redevelopment of this property occur. Current zoning of the property consists of RR-NP, SF-3-NP and GR-NP. It is adjacent to RR-NP zoning to the west; GR-NP zoning to the east; and GR-NP and CS-NP zoning to 1 of 14B-18 C14-2021-0088 2 the south; across Old Bee Caves Road to the north is MH-NP zoning. Please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. This property is located within the Williamson Creek Watershed which is classified as a Barton Springs Zone Watershed. At the time of this report it is subject to the SOS ordinance which would allow up to 25% impervious cover in the contributing zone, (see section Other Staff Comments below for additional Environmental comments). This impervious cover limitation supersedes higher allowable impervious cover amounts in the base zoning districts. In addition to being subject to the SOS ordinance, this property also contains floodplain and potential creek buffer areas. Due to the environmental constraints within this site, the applicant has offered a conditional overlay (CO) to cap the maximum number of units to 25. The applicant is requesting SF-6-CO-NP to construct a maximum of 25 units on site. The future land use map (FLUM) designates this property as “mixed residential” which allows for the SF-6 base zoning district and therefore does not require …

June 8, 2021: To grant postponement to June 22, 2021 as requested by Staff, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0058 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a mixed use project that includes multifamily, office and commercial land uses. They intend to provide on-site affordable multifamily units at 10% of the gross floor area per the TOD Density Bonus. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant requests increasing the building height from 60 feet to 90 feet. This includes updating the Station Area Plan (SAP) and Regulating Plan. The request also requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA), which is being processed concurrent with the rezoning request (City File # NPA- 2020-0002.02). The rezoning request was originally filed requesting a maximum building height of 85 feet. After further discussions with the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (ECC NPCT), the Applicant revised the request to a maximum height of 90 feet due to variation in topography that affect calculations of building height under City Code. The Applicant has stated that they will enter into a private restrictive covenant to establish where the increased height will be located on the site.

The request is made for the following reasons: 1) Many of the stakeholders may be on summer vacation and unable to attend because they are out of town. Because of the pandemic, families were not able to travel last summer but are making up for it this summer before school starts in mid-August. 2) Many of the stakeholders have not yet received notification from the city of Austin about the hearing scheduled for July 13th. Neither the Crestview Neighborhood Association nor the Crestview Neighborhood Plan Contact team have received mailed notices as of Thursday, July 8th. In addition, I have been informed that some of the stakeholders within 200 feet of the subject tract have also not yet received notice of the scheduled hearing and there may be others that I'm not aware of that have not received their notice. 3) A postponement will allow additional time for further discussions between the applicant and neighborhood residents on various issues related to this case. Thank you for your consideration, Chip Harris, Facilitator Crestview Neighborhood Plan Contact Team

Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hello Kate, James Kracht Friday, July 9, 2021 9:00 AM Clark, Kate Comments On Case #C14-2021-0009 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I'm a resident at 1725 Toomey Road. As you know it is currently up to be rezoned to an MF‐6 lot. I would like to submit my objection to this measure. A few comments I'd like to leave on my objection: Disregarding the history of this building that has stood since the 1960's; this apartment complex is one of the only affordable buildings along Barton Springs road. The price points of whatever planned development will happen after rezoning certainly haven't been released yet; but it will be safe to assume someone making the median income of this city won't be able to afford it. This is my most unemotional objection to the measure. That destroying the economic diversity of this neighborhood is not just morally wrong but statistically not great for the neighborhood as a social ecosystem. I'm not inherently against changing the capacity of inhabitants on this lot. Austin faces a housing shortage, especially after the pandemic. But it's an affordable housing shortage. Building more tall "radiant garden cities" as Jane Jacobs would call them‐ facing inward and barring the street entry‐ will only serve to ruin this neighborhood. Zilker and Barton Springs belong to Austin and it's people. Not just it's rich people, and certainly not just tourists. An economically diverse neighborhood is a safer neighborhood afterall. I would like to put forward that if the city decides to change the zoning of this lot, that it also passes with it a stipulation. That whatever development be spawned here (once we destroy a beautiful testament to what this neighborhood looked like in Austin's "Good ol' days") be forced into a contract demanding a large percentage of it's units be affordable housing. Or perhaps even a cap on the rent allowed to be charged if I were to lean further left. Please don't let Zilker‐ and for that matter central south Austin‐ be walled off to the vast majority of people who live in this city. And please don't let Barton Springs road become like South Congress, a desert of a tourist trap. Thanks for your time and consideration, James James T.
