(Amanda C. Brown) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 2, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-1 C14-2021-0147 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 1.665 acre tract of land located on the south side of Jekel Circle that is being used to store moving trucks for the U-Haul business to the south. Surrounding land uses include vehicle storage and a house to the north, the U-Haul Convenience Storage and Rental Center and automotive uses to the south, a convenience storage facility to the east and automotive sales and religious assembly uses to the west. The applicant is requesting CS zoning to bring the existing use into conformance with land use regulations in the Land Development Code and to expand the U- Haul Center to the south (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning at this location because the property is located within an industrial area. The lots surrounding this site to the north, south, east and west are zoned with LI, LI-CO, CS-CO, GR-CO and GR zoning for commercial and industrial use. There are commercial and industrial uses to the north and commercial uses to the south, east and west. The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to utilize the property for commercial uses that are consistent with surrounding land use patterns in this area. The rezoning site is located within the designated ‘183 & McNeil Neighborhood Center’, as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. 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. General commercial services (CS) district is the designation for a commercial or industrial use of a service nature that has operating characteristics or traffic service requirements that are incompatible with residential environments. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The General Commercial Services district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding land use patterns because there is …

PROPERTY OWNER: Mesa Plaza Ltd. (Rip Miller) AGENT: Masterplan (Karen Wunsch) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7729, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant community commercial – conditional overlay (GR- CO) combining district zoning.

Mesa Plaza has tenants that include retail stores and personal services (hair salon) as well as personal improvement services (dance studio, language immersion school) and a restaurant (general). When built, the shopping center had neighborhood commercial (LR) district zoning. Subsequent rezoning created and expanded the footprint of commercial - liquor sales (CS-1) zone district. Yet another rezoning established the community commercial-conditional overlay (GR-CO) combining district overlay as a footprint zoning on the south end of the building. The parking and loading areas, middle of the building, and “L” shaped part of the building at the north end remain zoned neighborhood commercial (LR) district. Please refer to Exhibit A (Zoning Map) and Exhibit A -1 (Aerial). Applicant requests zoning that would permit personal instruction area to exceed 5,000 square …

The rezoning will negatively affect the Searight Village homeowners in the following ways. 1. The proposed development will remove the current greenbelt that is on the property. 2. Currently, Searight Village has minimum water pressure. The addition of 300-400 apartments will significantly affect the low water pressure in Searight Village. 2. The impervious surface runoff will flow into the Searight Village area. 3. There will be a significant increase in traffic on Slaughter Lane, especially at the United Kingdom / Slaughter Lane intersection. 4. The incidence of traffic accidents, already high, will increase on Slaughter Lane. 5. There will be an increase in refuse pollution in the area. 6. There will be an increase in the crime rate in the area. 7. There will be a significant increase in light pollution. 8. There will be an increase in noise pollution in the area. Thank you for your attention and consideration. Robert Merriam 9420 Privet Drive Austin, TX 78748 1 16 of 18B-4 17 of 18B-4 18 of 18B-4
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET August 23, 2021 HLC DATE: July 26, 2021 ZAP DATE: November 2, 2021 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2021-0164 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Chrysler Air-Temp House COUNCIL DISTRICT: 7 WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2502 Park View Drive ZONING FROM: SF-2 to SF-2-H SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence – standard lot (SF-2) district to single family residence – standard lot – Historic Landmark (SF-2-H) combining district zoning if the Commission believes that this house qualifies as a historic landmark and represents the entire proposed historic district. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical significance, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 26, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. August 23, 2021: Recommended historic zoning. Vote: 9-0 (Larosche and Tollett absent). ZONING and PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) but is contributing to the identified Air Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, which was unfortunately not recommended by the State Board of Review. This case came before the Commission in June, 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. The prior proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials in kind or with a visually-compatible modern material, and an addition to the back in what promised to be a sensitive rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the house. The Commission initiated historic zoning on the house during the pendency of the preparation of those plans, and satisfied that the plans would preserve the character of the house, dropped the historic zoning case. Since that time, the original applicants sold the house to the current applicant, who is seeking a permit to demolish the house and build a new house in its place. This house, being remarkably intact from the time of its construction, would have been contributing to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the State Board of Renew earlier this month. There was owner opposition to the creation of the district and the nomination failed to move forward. However, this disappointing setback 1 of 12B-5 2 had little to do with the significance of …
1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0127 Rogers Lane Residential ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: SF-6 ADDRESS: 5417 Rogers Lane SITE AREA: 1.0 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: 5417 Rogers Lane, LLC (Stuart Carr) AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to SF-6. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: November 9, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 20B-6 C14-2021-0127 2 ISSUES: The proposed rezoning is located on Rogers Lane, a Level 1 that primarily serves large-lot residential properties. The road right-of-way (ROW) is approximately 52 feet wide and the pavement is 18 feet wide. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) does not identify any immediate or long terms plans for improvements to the roadway. The proposed rezoning does not generate enough vehicular trips to trigger the requirement for a Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA). A Valid Petition with 47.07% of eligible signatures has been filed in opposition to the rezoning request. (Please see Exhibit C- Valid Petition) CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 1.0 acre property located on the east side of Roger Lane approximately 1300 feet north of the FM 969 right-of-way. The property is zoned SF-2 and developed with one house. The applicant proposes rezoning the property and replacing the single house with 10 to 12 townhouse/condominium residential units. Surrounding properties are also zoned SF-2 and primarily developed with single family residences and related structures. At the intersection of Rogers Lane and FM 969 is an art studio/indoor entertainment property zoned SF- 2 (nonconforming land uses). Further north is property that is developed as a mobile home community. The mobile home property is located in the ETJ and does not have frontage on or access to Rogers Lane. Further to the west is SF-6-CO zoned property that is currently undeveloped. Further to the east is Oak Meadows Elementary School, zoned SF-2. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. In addition to this rezoning request, two other rezoning requests are currently under Staff review that propose access to Rogers Lane. One of these cases, C14-2021-0141 (Agave Annex), is required to submit a NTA which will provide more information about the characteristics and capacity of the street. Mitigations, including potential …
