[C. Hempel – 1st; Y. Flores – 2nd] Vote: 8-0 [A. Azar, P. Howard, S. R. Praxis, C. Llane Pulido, and R. Scheider absent] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. 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 …

The Petition stated that petitioners oppose “any change of the Land Development Code which would zone the property to any classification other than the current zoning.” Staff is reviewing the documents and calculations and will be preparing a Petition Packet for this case prior to Council consideration of the zoning case. As information, the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the City Council is required to approve a proposed rezoning that is protested in writing by the owners of not less than 20 percent of the area of land immediately adjoining the area included in the proposed rezoning and extending 200 feet from the area. Neighbors note current problems with cars parked on the street by nearby auto related businesses. There are concerns about additional parking and traffic coming from the proposed development. The residents have voiced their view that some additional residential units would be acceptable in the neighborhood but that the proposed MF-4-NP zoning would not be compatible. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting multifamily residence, moderate-high density-neighborhood plan (MF-4-NP) district zoning for the 1.0 acre (43,560 sq. ft.) tract that is currently zoned family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) district zoning.

Neither of these uses are listed in B, (prohibited uses), even though the applicant and neighborhood agreed to list them. Items C. and D. below were carried forward from the previous zoning case. A.

VOTE 11- 0. 1 of 32B-7 C14-2021-0017 2 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There is a Valid Petition on this case. The calculations show that there is a Valid Petition with more than 20% of the ownership in the buffer area in opposition to the rezoning request. A valid petition changes the required votes at 3rd and Final Reading of City Council to a super majority to grant the zoning change. That petitioner’s letter appears in the correspondence attached to the Staff Report. The letter states a preference that other businesses occupy the community commercial (GR) zoned tract. Other residents of the neighborhood also contacted staff to express a preference for commercial uses that would add places of interest for the community. There are two businesses on adjacent lots, one is a café, the other is a performance venue. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is a 1.28-acre (about 55,756 sq. ft) tract of land with one residence that will be razed. The applicant requests rezoning from community commercial – neighborhood plan (GR- NP) to community commercial – mixed use – neighborhood plan (GR-MU-NP) combining district zoning. Adding the MU zoning permits residential development on the site. The application indicates the intent of building 23 townhouse/condominium residences on the tract. Four adjacent tracts of land, (approximately 4.7 acres), fronting Springdale Road north of the subject tract have requested GR-MU-NP zoning.

Before that vote, six council members and the mayor were elected citywide. Today, the city has 10 districts with a council member elected from each district. The mayor is still elected citywide. In 2013, a diverse group of Austin residents determined the boundaries for the 10 council districts. Since then, Austin’s population has grown and changed an estimated 24% from 790,000+ people to 979,000+. This year a new group of citizens will redraw the district boundaries to reflect these changes. ICRC Selection Process …
From: To: Subject: Date: Chip Harris Meredith, Maureen; Graham, Mark; Mike Lavigne Re: Crestview NPCT Rec? - 901 & 907 Stobaugh St Monday, July 26, 2021 2:35:41 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Maureen, After a lengthy and thorough discussion and debate at the CNPCT meeting about the proposed NPA and zoning change for 901 & 907 Stobaugh, the following motion was made and approved, and it will serve as the CNPCT's recommendation: The CNPCT supports sustainable densification of 901 & 907 Stobaugh similar to other nearby properties that have resubdivided but maintained their SF-3 zoning as recommended in the Neighborhood Plan approved by the City Council. The CNPCT opposes the proposed plan amendment to change the property designation from single-family to multi-family and opposes the proposed zoning change from SF-3 to MF-4 or any MF category. While supporting increased density, many of the meeting participants cited multiple issues that led to their support of the motion, including the magnitude of the change and its effect on a narrow street populated with single-family homes. Additional issues stated included increased traffic, additional street parking impacting the safety of cyclists, pedestrians (many of whom are elderly or children), infrastructure capacity of the city, noise and neighborhood character. Thank you for conveying this recommendation by the CNPCT to the Planning Commission.

Citizen Stakeholder Comments on items #2 and #3 on Planning Commission Agenda for July 27, 2021 For All City of Austin Planning Commissioners Case NPA-2021-0026.01 Zoning Case C14-2021-0039 AGAINST July 26, 2021 Emailed to : andrew.rivera@austintexas.gov, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov, maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov Greetings Planning Commissioners: Thank you for listening to my voice on behalf of our community. I appreciate your efforts to provide service with integrity and thoughtful consideration on behalf of all of us in Austin . I agree with Ms. Lovera’s written statements I read in the case file about the damage it can do if you approve and recommend the applicant’s proposed zoning changes. Her words and concepts are right on target. The parcels under consideration as tract 1 and 2 are already zoned appropriately on the Neighborhood Plan (NP) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) if the health and well-being of the neighborhood and their contribution to the city overall is any part of your consideration. I, and many others deeply invested in this community for the long term, spent two and a half years of our lives, our time, energy, and focus, working closely with City of Austin professional planning staff in crafting our neighborhood plan and FLUM. We did that because we believe the city of Austin’s story that our neighborhood has value for its residents, businesses, schools, institutions, and culture, and can achieve an intelligent, integrated, harmonious greater good for our community and thus contribute to the larger city through the self determination of our neighborhood plan. We missed our kids’ dance recitals, soccer games and spelling bees, etc. to do the intensive work to get it right. And we did get it right. Planning Commissioners recognized that, City Council recognized that, and between them made it an ordinance. In those two and a half years we examined every parcel, every possible zoning option, every corridor, and existing and possible uses in the context of the goals, objectives, and vision for the planning area as it fits in the larger city. The FLUM zoning on each parcel is connected and integrated with those goals and objectives to serve the overall whole vision of this becoming and remaining a thriving healthy part of north Austin. I see from the staff backup report that staff cherry-picked bits and pieces of the NP narrative, took those out of their true context, and twisted them around in trying to find a way …
07/23/2021 Dear Chair Shaw and Planning Commission members, We write this letter in support of the applicant’s request for rezoning 1901 North Lamar. Unfortunately, this case began with a filing for CS zoning with no conditions and no initial discussion with the neighborhood association. For that reason, you will likely see a progression of letters- from strong opposition, to this letter of support. Since the initial filing, there have been a total of four neighborhood meetings on this case, two of which included the agent. After weeks of discussion and compromise, The Original West University Neighborhood Association (OWUNA) membership voted on 6/15/21 unanimously to support this application. Although we concur with staff that traditional CS zoning is incompatible with this specific section of Lamar Blvd., we feel that all the restrictions on uses, impervious cover, height, and FAR, support that position. With our current Land Development Code, CS proved to be an awkward tool, but ultimately provided for a project that, we believe, is compatible with the unique area and topography. The process was not easy, and both sides worked incredibly hard to come up with the current proposal. We believe the certainty and compatibility provided by this project is of benefit to the neighborhood and we enthusiastically hope for your approval of the zoning necessary to support it. Every restriction was integral to our support, and it is our hope that they are included in any final zoning decision. The final terms are included in this email, along with a letter from CANPAC, the official contact team, recognizing OWUNA as the neighborhood association for the geographic area including this parcel. 1 2 No vehicular access from the site to Lamar and access to the site shall be from adjacent CONDITIONAL OVERLAY Existing CO items to be maintained: street or through adjacent site Maximum building height is 30feet Maximum building height is two stories New CO items to be added: F.A.R. is limited to 1.35:1 Impervious Cover is limited to 85% Drive-in service use is prohibited as an accessory use to commercial uses PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE COVENANT- Case No. C14-2011-0100 All elements, including added protections for the heritage oak, are to remain in place.
