ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET to Morrow Street CASE: C14-2022-0031 – Remove Vehicular Access Restriction ZONING FROM / TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: Intersection of Easy Wind Drive and Morrow Street SITE AREA: 32.63 acres APPLICANT: City of Austin – Housing and Planning Department CASE MANAGER: Andrei Lubomudrov (512-974-7659) DISTRICT: 7 Andrei.lubomudrov@austintexas.gov [A. AZHAR; J. MUSHTALER – 2ND) (13-0) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to approve the zoning change to transit oriented development – neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning, to remove the vehicular access restriction to Morrow Street. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 24, 2022: May 10, 2022: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAY 24, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Crestview Neighborhood Association has requested postponement of the rezoning application. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of the Staff report. The Applicant, in this case the City of Austin, has submitted a zoning application to remove a condition added to the Crestview TOD in 2011 to restrict vehicular access to Morrow Street from Easy Wind Drive. The application was filed as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20220217-037. Removing the zoning condition restricting access would ensure long-term unimpeded access to Morrow Street from the Crestview Station area. The Austin Transportation Department recommended removal of the gate following a three- month traffic study that found opening the gate created no significant safety risks. 1 of 49B-14 C14-2022-0031 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning change removes the restriction on vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive. Further changes to the Crestview Station TOD are not proposed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The transit oriented development (TOD) district is the designation for an identified transit station and the area around it. The district provides for development that is compatible with and supportive of public transit and a pedestrian-oriented environment. Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the district as it increases overall access to transit at Crestview Station. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The requested …

DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant has made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063. This site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback and the proposed development is encroaching into the 25’ setback on the north and west property lines. The west property line abuts an alley with an SF-3 property with a 5’ rear setback on the opposite side of the alley and the north property line abuts an SF-3 property with a 5’ interior side yard setback. After the previous meeting’s discussion, the applicant is now proposing the two units on the north side of the site to be setback 7’ from the north property line and the units on the western side to be setback 18’ from the west property line. If approved, this waiver will not impact sightlines at the intersection of 14th Street and Cedar Avenue. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive or a use is permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use because Burnet Road is an established commercial corridor designated as an Activity Corridor on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept map where mixed use developments are encouraged. The Crestview/Wooten neighborhood plan supports mixed use developments on Anderson Lane and Burnet Road. Section of plan document that supports the applicant’s request. Land Use Objective 2: Encourage the development of neighborhood-serving commercial and mixed use on Anderson Lane and Burnet Road. Both Anderson Lane and Burnet Road are nearly fully developed as commercial corridors. The types of commercial uses vary widely, including numerous auto sale and service establishments and multi-tenant shopping centers. Care should be taken to ensure that redevelopment serves to strengthen these two retail corridors and maintain their utility as shopping districts. The neighborhood generally agrees that mixed-use development is acceptable on Anderson and Burnet. Adding the Neighborhood Mixed Use Building special use to commercial properties should help facilitate some redevelopment and make better use of the smaller commercial lots. Other mixed use options, including the MU overlay and the neighborhood urban center can be added to the large, deep commercial lots on Burnet Road south of Anderson. The existing zoning on the corridors is generally appropriate, but land area intensive. Auto-related uses should be limited to help maintain the retail viability of both corridors. Recommendations 1. Allow the Neighborhood Mixed Use Building special use on all non-freeway commercial corridors. larger than one acre). 2.

City Manager Spencer Cronk The City of Austin Planning Commission To: From: Subject: Date: May 24, 2022 Re-transmittal of FYs 2021-2023 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations The Planning Commission is pleased to re-transmit the FYs 21-23 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations approved by Planning Commission in June 2021. Transmittal of the recommendations to the City Manager allows the Planning Commission to meet its requirement under the Charter to submit a list of capital improvements to the City Manager which implements the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Joint Committee (CPJC) of Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission participated in the development of the LRCP recommendations that were approved by Planning Commission June 22, 2021. In this off-cycle LRCP year of 2022, the CPJC approved the re-transmittal of the FYs 21-23 memo for consideration by the Planning Commission. LRCP is the process that examines CIP needs looking 10 years or more into the future. It is a lens for viewing CIP projects, which are typically granular in nature, within the scale of high-level policies identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Direction 2023. The LRCP is part of a larger Capital Improvement Program planning cycle, a multi-year, continuous process of planning, funding, and implementation of capital improvements, that also includes the Five-Year CIP Plan and the annual Capital Budget. To further the City’s long-term vision and aspiration of being one of the most unique, thriving, and livable cities in the country, the City Council chose to focus City operations and budgets around Strategic Direction 2023’s Outcomes: • Government that works for all: Believing that city government works effectively and collaboratively for all of us - that it is equitable, ethical and innovative. • Safety: Being safe in our home, at work, and in our community. • Economic Opportunity and Affordability: Having economic opportunities and resources that enable us to thrive in our community • Mobility: Getting us where we want to go, when we want to get there, safely and cost-effectively. • Health and Environment: Enjoying a sustainable environment and a healthy life, physically and • Culture and Lifelong-Learning: Being enriched by Austin's unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning mentally. opportunities. This LRCP cycle for FYs 21-23, the Memo of Recommendations is organized by the six Strategic Direction outcomes. Additionally, a new website has been developed to present the …
Joshua Ellinger – Data Scientist / Small Business Owner. The outcome of this process is a forgone conclusion, so I am asking staff to be accurate in the basis for its MF-4 recommendation. I would like the same from the Planning Commission. I am not a typical Austinite -- I favor higher density in the urban code. But let’s look to Europe, not Southern California Staff - The existing ‘basis’ is inaccurate 1. 2. 3. Density – Developers are proposing 135 per acre in a district designed for “maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size”. Transition – There is no transition. It goes from single family home to a three-story wall of concrete in under 50 feet. Intensive Development by Highways – Staff notes that MF-6 is not appropriate but claims MF-4 + AU is without justification. I believe Staff thinks MF-6 (like Concordia) is appropriate but doesn’t want to defend it. Let’s get real -- AU is a magic wand The real basis for the MF-4 recommendation is that: The Council want any zoning chances associated with Affordability Unlocked to be sent through without any review or consideration. MF-3 is most you could justify in this area under normal process. Question for the Developers You have said you can build without a zoning change or a FLUM amendment, but you don’t want to because of cost. How much would approximately would it cost? 10%? 20%? Zilker Studios puts 110 units on a 0.50 acre size so I find it hard to believe this driven by concern for the tenants. Question for Mr. Anderson Thank for supporting the delay. It was valuable. I would like talk later. You are all for making Austin walkable. I bike everywhere. Wouldn’t you prefer a tall residential tower? That would leave room for a walking path from 38th to 40th rather than making people walk to Red River or up the frontage road. Voting against the zoning change gets you that. (I have different concerns that prevent me from supporting this project in current form) What I want 1. The “College Houses” model to PSH housing. 2. A district plan instead piecemeal development. We are on the path to a CodeNext-like fiasco where nothing gets built. Instead, we should come together as a community, create a development we all can support, and use it as an example for …

Maureen May 22, 2022 CANPAC Statement regarding C14-2022-0019.SH and NPA- 2022-0019.01.SH, Cady Lofts We, CANPAC, support affordable housing on this site, and we appreciate the presentation of Option II that does not need a zoning or FLUM change. We are, also, in support of increased density on the LO zoned lots. Since at this point, the applicant has not acquired the property or had their tax credit application approved, permanent change to the zoning and the Neighborhood Plan (CACNP) seems premature. At this time, we ask that the Neighborhood Plan Amendment and the zoning change be postponed, so that they can be reconsidered once the applicant has acquired the property and had their project approved.

Our site plan is not fixed until we go through site plan review with the City, which we anticipate starting in the fall of this year. As far as comparable properties I know that New Hope would be happy to tour any interested neighbors around their existing projects in Houston. They will also be at the CANPAC meeting to answer any questions about their existing projects in greater detail.
