ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0029 (Airport 38 Rezone) DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 3811 Airport Boulevard ZONING FROM: CS-MU-V-NP TO: CS-MU-V-DB90-NP SITE AREA: approximately 1.1326 acres (approximately 49,336 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: 3811 Airport 2017 LP AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting general commercial services-mixed use-vertical mixed use- density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-DB90-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 12, 2025: Staff postponement request to September 9, 2025. September 9, 2025: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. 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. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting general commercial services-mixed use-vertical mixed use-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-DB90-NP) combining district for a proposed development that would include multi-family units requiring an affordable component. 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. The overall project as proposed would consist of approximately 160 residential units, approximately 5,000 square feet of retail and approximately 5,000 square feet of office. (see exhibit D: TIA Determination Worksheet for more information) 06 C14-2025-0029 - Airport 38 Rezone; District 11 of 15 C14-2025-0029 2 The property is located within the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Planning Area (MLK) and is located within an area that was initiated by the City to zone certain tracts within the Neighborhood Plan area to accommodate the -V zoning district in 2008 (Ordinance No. 20071213-089). 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 …
Sept 2, 2025 RE: Case Number: SPC-2025-0190A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Project Address: 1700 South Congress Request: To allow an existing 2,657-square-foot retail space to also establish a cocktail lounge. Dear Ms. Ramirez, The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association does not oppose this Conditional Use Permit. The zoning committee met with the applicant’s attorney on July 31, 2025, and was in favor of the Conditional Use Permit. These are the agreed hours of operation: Monday-Saturday: 10 am - 10 pm Sunday: 12pm - 10pm (No alcohol sales before noon per TABC code) According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), alcohol sales are authorized from 7 a.m. to midnight every day, except for Sundays, during which sales are allowed from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. A special late-hours permit is required for sales extending until 2 a.m. The suggested hours for this Conditional Use Permit (CUP) are more restrictive and match the hours of operation for alcohol-serving restaurants along South Congress Avenue.

September 7, 2025 Planning Commission City of Austin Dear Planning Commission Members, This letter supplements my letter of August 25th and requests that you deny two requests for the Austin Can Academy property in District 1 including denial of: (1) rezoning the part of a property that faces the Sol Wilson and Bedford from Residential to Commercial Mixed Use (case C14-2025-0049) and (2) rezoning the entire property from Civic to Mixed Use (case NPA-2025- 0008.01). The subject property has a different setting on the north than the south, as appropriately reflected in the current zoning. The subject property faces Rosewood Street on the south, Hargrave Street on the west, Sol Wilson Street on north, and Bedford Street on the east. Rosewood and Hargrave Streets are larger streets that have other public and commercial uses and larger vehicle capacity. Sol Wilson and Bedford Streets are lined with single-family residences and both terminate in dead-ends. Please see attached for an overlay showing adjacent property uses and street types as well as photographs of the area. This rezoning application is inappropriate since it pushes commercial use into a neighborhood of single-family residences, is along two low-capacity, ASMP Level 1 dead-end streets, and is unbalanced with the zoning on the Sol Wilson Street to the east of Bedford Street. In the virtual public meeting hosted by the City, the developer (who doesn’t currently own the property) expressed a desire to adaptively re-use the historic Rosewood Elementary School building and construct additional buildings and parking on the site. They reported that single- family housing is planned for the area currently zoned single-family residential. I recommend that Single-Family Residential zoning be retained on low capacity Sol Wilson and Bedford Streets where adjacent to single-family housing, in accordance with the developer’s own plans. I also recommend that part of the property be rezoned to Commercial where it is adjacent to existing Commercial zoning, public uses, and higher capacity streets. An overlay showing this option (compared to the existing zoning and application zoning) is attached. In the two weeks since the original hearing on this case was postponed, I’ve been able to talk with approximately 30 neighbors about the proposed rezoning. My neighbors and I are unanimous in three main desires for the property: 1. We are opposed to rezoning. Rezoning is not necessary for the planned redevelopment as reported in the virtual public meeting. We are supportive …
September 2, 2025 The Hon. Mayor Kirk Watson The Hon. Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes Hon. Members of the Austin City Council 301 W 2nd St, Austin, TX 78701 Dear Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Council Members: Below please find recommendations from the City of Austin Planning Commission to the Austin City Council on the advancement and repair of housing-related criteria and amendments to the City’s technical codes. The adoption of HOME Phase 1 (December 2023), and HOME Phase 2 (May 2024) marked a substantial milestone in the history of this City, in its ongoing efforts to make all types of housing attainable, efficient and more affordable to its citizens The adoption of HOME Phase 1 (December 2023), and HOME Phase 2 (May 2024) marked a substantial milestone in the history of this City, in its ongoing efforts to make all types of housing attainable, efficient and more affordable to its citizens. Such a change, to allow more residential scale housing with a simple building permit after almost 40 years, has required a series of alterations to numerous rules and regulations across various departments. By now, almost every city department has crafted new regulations in response to HOME, including the adoption of local amendments to state or federal technical codes (e.g., fire and water), the delivery of service criteria (e.g., AE and Austin Water), or the criteria manuals required by Transportation and Watershed. Serious concerns about the impact of these alterations on HOME’s effectiveness have arisen from these new regulations, concerns so serious that if they remain unaddressed, a substantial portion of the new housing capacity envisioned by this Commission and by Council for HOME will remain locked away behind new or conflicting regulations and related costs. Most of these changes reflect staff’s earnest efforts on this matter, while some far exceeded their mandate. But each department, almost without exception, generated new criteria that added new requirements, raised costs or contradicted other regulations, the net effect of which is to reduce the ability of HOME to produce residential-scale housing, especially for third units. Examples of several of these issues can be found in the attached addendum to the resolution below. The following recommendations are a starting point for efforts to ensure that two or three units are just as easy and cost effective to build as one unit, to simplify HOME regulations and to increase HOME’s ability meet its goal …

• Outlook Case (14-2025-0049 From Sam< Date Tue 9/9/2025 10:55 AM To Tomko, Jonathan <. > You don't often get email from Learn why this is imP.ortant I Good morning Mr. Tomko, External Email - Exercise Caution My name is Sam Gollub and I am a homeowner and neighbor in the Rosewood community. I live just a short block from the former Can Academy which is currently being considered for rezoning for commercial use (Case C14-2025-0049). I am reaching out to urge you to reconsider the proposed rezoning . I enjoy walking around our quiet streets, waving to neighbors and hearing the birds sing in the morning and the insects chirp in the evening. A main reason I moved into this neighborhood and have continued to stay here is for its residential charm. The rezone has the potential to take much of what I love about my home away. But it is not all about me. I know many of the other households feel the same, particularly the ones with children. Furthermore, I used to work in partnership with HACA and the Booker T Washington neighborhood sits across from Can Academy. The children who walk to school, play in their playground or ride the bus rely on the safety of our residential streets. A rezone brings increased car traffic, threatening their security.
