ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0041 (Stowers and Schiller) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 8500 Bluegrass Drive ZONING FROM: LR TO: SF-2 SITE AREA: 2.05 acres (89,298sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Ken Schiller AGENT: Steve T. Stowers CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-2, Single Family-Standard Lot District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 16, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-2 C14-2020-0041 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped. The lots to the north are zoned SF-2-CO and are developed with single-family residences. To the south and east, there are PUD and LO zoned tracts that contain office buildings. To the west, there is undeveloped land that was originally right-of-way area for the construction of Arterial 8. The applicant’s request to change in the intensity of land use at this site is consistent with the deletion of Arterial 8 (Forsythia Drive), a ninety-foot arterial roadway that was to connect Loop 360 to Yaupon Drive. The City of Austin’s plans to construct Arterial 8 changed, due in part to BCCP issues and with the City’s purchase of the adjoining Stennis Tract. In this request, the applicant is asking to down zone this tract of land to build a single-family residence on the site. The staff recommends SF-2 zoning as the property meets the intent of the Single-Family Residence-Standard Lot district designation and is consistent with the SF- 2-CO zoning the north and west. SF-2 zoning will allow the applicant to develop the property with a single-family residence that is compatible with the residential uses adjacent to the site. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Single-Family Residence (Standard Lot) district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional single-family housing areas with minimum land requirements. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed SF-2 zoning is consistent with the existing SF-2-CO zoning to the north and west. 3. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. SF-2 zoning will allow the applicant to develop the property with a single-family residence …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 16, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-3 C14-2020-0050 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped tract of land located at the northeast intersection Burnet Road/FM 1325 and Scofield Ridge Parkway. The applicant is requesting to rezone this site because they propose to develop multifamily uses on the property. The staff is recommending GR-MU zoning at this location because the applicant’s request meets the intent of the purpose statement for the base and combining zoning district designations. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing commercial zoning to the north (GR) and south (GR-MU) and multifamily zoning to the east (MF-3-CO). The properties directly to the east and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Scofield Park at Austin Apartments and Scofield Apartments). The GR-MU zoning district would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because it will permit this site to be developed with commercial uses, residential uses or a mixture of commercial and residential uses at the intersection of two arterial roadways. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Community Commercial (GR) district is the designation for an office or other commercial use that serves neighborhood and community needs and that generally is accessible from major traffic ways. The purpose of a mixed use (MU) combining district is to allow office, retail, commercial, and residential uses to be combined in a single development. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing commercial zoning to the north (GR) and south (GR- MU) and multifamily zoning to the east (MF-3-CO). The properties directly to the east and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Scofield …

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a +/- 161.4 acre tract located along the west side of SH 130 approximately 1,800 feet south of US 290 East. The property is zoned I-RR and is undeveloped. North of the property are undeveloped tracts zoned CS-CO, PUD, and I-RR. West and northwest of the property is a residential property zoned I-RR and a property located outside the City Limits that is developed with automotive repair services and a recycling collection facility. The southern boundary of the rezoning property is the Southwestern railroad. South of the railroad is undeveloped land zoned PUD. Southwest of the property is land zoned P that is part of the Walter E. Long parkland. Across SH 130 to the east is property zoned PUD that is developed with commercial and residential land uses. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The PUD zoned properties to the north, east and south of the proposed rezoning are all part of the Wildhorse Planned Unit Development. The portion that is located immediately north of the rezoning is under the same ownership but is not part of the rezoning request. This parcel may be incorporated into the overall development by providing vehicular access to the SH 130 southbound service road. The portion of the PUD that is south of the railroad boundary is planned primarily for residential land uses with park and other amenities. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) includes an extension of Braker Lane across the rezoning property that divides the property into a northern tract (Tract 1) and a southern tract (Tract 2). …

June 16, 2020 Zoning and Platting Commission Q and A Report B-1. C14-2019-0162 - Slaughter and Cullen; District 2 Questions: Commissioner King As, I understand, the backup for this case indicates that the site is located in the Southpark Meadows Regional Center. The backup defines a Regional Center as: "the most urban of the three activity centers outlined in the growth concept map. These centers are the places where the greatest density of people and jobs and the tallest buildings in the region will be located." The Growth Concept map on pages A-30 and A-31 of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) shows Southpark Meadows as a Neighborhood Center. The IACP defines a Neighborhood Center as: "the smallest and least intense of the three types of activity centers outlined in the Growth Concept Map." Given that this site is located in a Neighborhood Center and not a Regional Center, does staff still recommend this zoning request? Why or why not? How may the public obtain a copy of the Southpark Meadows Neighborhood Center plan? Staff Response: Staff is still recommending this rezoning request. I confirmed with Comprehensive Long Range Planning Staff that the property is actually located in an Imagine Austin Town Center (rather than a Regional Center or a Neighborhood Center) and along an Activity Corridor. Town Centers and Activity Corridors support retail and commercial uses, which includes restaurants. Revised comments from Comprehensive Planning are attached and will be incorporated into future editions of the Staff report. The Long Range Planning staff has responded that there is no existing plan, nor plan in progress for the Southpark Meadows Center identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. See attached exhibit B-1. B-03 - C14-2020-0050 3100 Scofield Parkway Questions Commissioner King Could you please help me find the compliance report that was submitted on this same parcel in March 2015 to go from LR to CS-CO? Page 6 of the compliance report for this case indicates that the March 2015 zoning application was not approved. I'm trying to find the meeting date and minutes for the ZAP meeting at which the March 2015 zoning application was apparently denied. Staff Response: The previous zoning case for this property, case C14-2016-0035 (Scofield Farms), was withdrawn by the applicant on July 24, 2016 before a zoning case report was compiled and before the Zoning and Platting Commission reviewed the case.

Dear Commissioners: The Park Ridge Owners Association (“Park Ridge”) asks that you consider the following information prior to the zoning hearing on the subject property (the “Property”) that will be held next Tuesday, June 16. I will not have adequate speaking time to provide you with the background history on this matter that the neighbors believe is very important to your deliberations. 2007 Ordinances and Covenants In 2007, the neighbors in Park Ridge that were adjacent to this property and board members began discussions with the former owner regarding uses we believed would provide disruption and intrusion into our daily lives and our right to peaceful enjoyment of our homes. We were unable to reach accord on the uses we wished to restrict, with restaurant uses (both limited and general) being at the very top of our list of prohibited uses. At the first zoning hearing, several of the commissioners voiced their belief that there was sufficient cause to delay ruling on the matter at the first hearing, and the Chair of that commission, the legendary Ms. Betty Baker, formed a "task force" of commissioners, Applicant and neighborhood representatives. The following list of prohibited uses is contained in Ordinance Nos. 20070503-047 and 20070503-048 (the "Cullen and Slaughter Ordinances") and was agreed upon by Applicant and the Neighborhood as a result of the task force meetings. It was and remains our position that restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, would be detrimental to our neighbors whose properties are adjacent. After a round of kumbaya at the second hearing, the Commission ruled and the property was encumbered by the following list of prohibited uses pursuant to the Cullen and Slaughter Ordinances. Current Application to Remove Restaurants from Prohibited Use. Fast forward to 2020, and a new Applicant, who purchased the property at least five years ago, is seeking to rezone the property, and seeks to remove only restaurant uses from the prohibited 1 list. Literally nothing has changed since 2007 that would make a restaurant use now attractive to Park Ridge neighbors. We have the same homes, many of the same owners, and the old and new homeowners of those residences still object to restaurant uses being adjacent to their homes. Applicant advises that its proposed tenant will be a fast food fried chicken chain restaurant called "Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers." Their sole function is fried chicken, and some of their locations are …

The attached report provides a detailed report of the Urban Renewal Board’s activities through March 2020. The report indicates that the Board has not met the deadlines enumerated in the Agreement with the City of Austin. However, Commissioners have indicated their intent to provide a careful and thoughtful approach in their approval of any modifications to the Urban Renewal Plan and the East 11th Street NCCD. In addition, the URB indicated a desire to ensure the area stakeholders had the ability to provide comprehensive input. Accordingly, NHCD is recommending an extension of the agreement to September 30, 2021, which is in alignment with the Urban Renewal Board recommendation. Should you have questions, please contact me at (512) 974-3064 or rosie.truelove@austintexas.gov; Gina Copic, Real Estate Development Manager, at (512) 974-3180 or regina.copic@austintexas.gov; or Sandra Harkins at (512)-974-3128 or sandra.harkins@austintexas.gov.

The UR Agency’s primary role is to acquire and dispose of acquired properties within the redevelopment area, in addition to, review and approve all projects in accordance with the UR Plan.

East 11th and 12th Street Urban Renewal Plan Amend, Document dated March 16, 2020. Comments from Commissioner Amit Motwani received on May 11, 2020. Document Name E 11th NCCD PAZ Comments No new Suggested Edits should be in attached doc using track changes. However, in summary I only made language clarity changes as follows: Section 3.0 Vision The achievement of a resident‐informed revitalization of the East 11th and 12th Street corridors that is historically respectful, diverse and sustainable. Purpose An Urban Renewal Plan's primary purpose is to eliminate slum and blighting influence within a designated area of the city. This plan will further that purpose by identifying and facilitating the development of mixed‐use projects with affordable residential options for the 11th and 12th Street corridors that enhances where people work, live and play (e.g. entertainment) around neighborhood‐oriented and pedestrian‐friendly retail and office space while taking care to prevent displacement. I believe this rubric and methodology should be revisited by current URB to ensure it aligns with 1) recent discussions, particularly, the Sep 2019 URB meeting (I think?), around how to ensure we retain the community benefits of (for example) the DiverseArts community space (i.e. "Kenny Dorham's Backyard") in the event of its departure and 2) research around which community factors are the most salient contributors to equitable economic mobility.

To: From: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: June 12, 2020 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Landfill Criteria Matrix In March 2017, Council approved Resolution No. 20170323-055 to form a Waste Management Policy Working Group (“Working Group”) to examine waste management and biosolids policy issues, and contracts. The Working Group recommended the development of criteria in the form of a matrix to help identify Landfill Operators eligible for City contracts involving City-controlled waste. From March through May of 2018, ARR hosted five public meetings for stakeholders led by an independent facilitator, and an additional technical meeting focused on landfill gas emissions. In November 2018 the City Manager informed Council that Staff would proceed with issuing request for information (RFI) using a matrix developed by Staff and Stakeholders. Staff issued an RFI in January 2019, inviting submissions from landfill operators to evaluate their facilities for future inclusion in City solicitations. At the conclusion of this first application of the Matrix, staff determined that three (3) landfills were eligible to receive City-controlled waste. On February 20, 2020, staff brought Item no. 37, to Council to authorize a short-term contract for waste collection at City facilities. Because this item dealt with the collection of waste, staff applied the Matrix requirement to the recommended contract. When considering this item, Council clarified that the Matrix was not consistent with their policy direction, stating specifically that the Austin Community Landfill (ACL), one of the eligible landfills according to the Matrix, was not to be used. As a result, staff excluded any reference to the Matrix or the use of the Austin Community Landfill from the subsequent short-term contracts, as well as the eventual solicitation seeking a longer-term contract for waste collection at City facilities. Staff will not apply the Landfill Criteria Matrix to future contracts involving City-controlled waste without further direction from City Council. Recycle Reuse Drop Off Center Re-Opening As the Recycling and Reuse Drop Off Center (RRDOC) moves towards full operations, there are some concerns about employee and customer exposure to CoVid-19. In preparation for this, the RRDOC has started scheduling no contact home pickups and appointments for dropping off material. As customers call the facility to inquire about the re-opening date, we offer a “no contact” home pick up option if they have Household Hazardous Waste. We have multiple trucks running small routes …

NEW BUSINESS 2a. Master Plan Update Burns and McDonnell—Scott Pasternak begins the presentation with opening remarks. With these unprecedented times, as an Austin resident for going on more than 30 years now, thank you to all of the operators, for the City of Austin, within ARR as well as on the private sector. I appreciate your services. The presentation starts with an overview and a progress update. We started with extensive research, analysis, and recommendations, ultimately we will develop a master plan with goals and objectives. We’ve already developed an outline of the update for the master plan and later we will provide multiple drafts to the city. The first key finding communicates that of these 13 cities, Austin’s Diversion Rate only trails the west coast cities like Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego, and Seattle in terms of where they are with their Diversion rate. These cities have with higher rates have been doing this longer. These other cities also mandate and have enforcement efforts. One of the more interesting findings is that cities that consider multiple generator types have a generally higher diversion rate. Regardless of whether you’re at home, out at a restaurant, or at a business you have the zero waste opportunities for diversion. A number of these cities that have higher diversion rates we’ll require a recycling mandate and or enforcements and also material bands. One challenge for Austin is the lack of detail on commercial waste …
