COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation Number #20201208‐02B I‐35 Capital Express Central Project WHEREAS, the TxDOT I‐35 Capital Express Central Project proposes to add two non‐tolled managed lanes in each direction to I‐35 through central Austin, between US 290 East and SH 71/Ben White Boulevard, growing to 20 total lanes in some segments of the highway; WHEREAS, the original siting and construction of I‐35 through Austin was a directed, intentional project to physically enforce racial segregation; WHEREAS, the Austin Strategic Mobility plan calls for Austin to reach a goal of 50% of Austinites commuting by walking, biking, transit, or any other non‐drive‐alone mode by 2039, from today’s current 24% of Austinites using non‐drive‐alone modes; WHEREAS, the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan further reaffirms the Vision Zero goal the City of Austin set in 2016, to reach zero traffic fatalities by 2025; WHEREAS, the Texas Transportation Commission has set a goal of zero traffic fatalities by 2050 and cutting deaths in half by 2035; WHEREAS, our current climate crisis calls for us to make changes to the way we live and plan our cities and our pattern of continued highway construction is neither safe nor sustainable, given the contributions of automobiles to climate change; WHEREAS, in November 2020 Austin voters passed a Project Connect tax district which will fund and construct a generational, comprehensive portfolio of transit projects; WHEREAS, the Orange Line light rail corridor included in Project Connect essentially runs parallel to I‐35, while also taking people more directly to their homes, jobs, and a variety of safe, walkable destinations; WHEREAS, the Orange Line light rail corridor can therefore serve as a better alternative for I‐35 commuters , particularly if the delivery of later phases of the project (such as the northern segment to Tech Ridge Park and Ride) are accelerated by additional funding; WHEREAS, average daily traffic on I‐35 from 2015‐2019 was relatively flat during a time of population and job growth, while TxDOT predicts dramatic increases in traffic demand on the corridor; WHEREAS, the City’s 2014 Bicycle Master Plan envisions a core network of safe facilities suitable for people of all ages and abilities, and approximately three‐quarters of the streets that cross this project corridor have been identified as being in the Bicycle Priority Network; WHEREAS, the City’s Sidewalk / ADA Transition Plan accounts for missing and broken sidewalks citywide, including significant very high priority missing and broken sidewalks …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The request to change the land use on the future land use map from Single Family to Neighborhood Mixed Use is not compatible with the Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations of the neighborhood plan because the request is commercial encroachment into an established residential area, which the plan does not support. The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in an established residential area. Converting the single family home to an office use would be encroachment into a residential neighborhood.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Commercial land use because the property is within 150 feet of the Lake Austin Boulevard which is an activity corridor as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan’s Growth Concept Map. As the comprehensive plan notes, activity corridors are characterized by a variety of activities and types of buildings located along the roadway — shopping, restaurants and cafés, parks, schools, single-family houses, apartments, public buildings, houses of worship, mixed-use buildings, and offices. For this reason, staff would also support Mixed Use land use, which would also be appropriate for this location. Objective 1: Preserve the existing single family neighborhoods of Central West Austin. Objective 2: Preserve or enhance, as appropriate, existing multifamily housing and neighborhood-serving commercial districts. 2 NPA-2020-0027.01 2 of 30B-7 Planning Commission: December 8, 2020 Objective 3: All development should be compatible with the character of the adjacent neighborhood and should be guided by green design principles.

Henry Middle School. The site is east of and across Newman Drive from the new Lake Austin HEB grocery store, currently under construction and expected to open in 2021. Current Zoning The one-story commercial building at 2608 West 7th Street, fronts on West 7th Street between Newman Drive and Norwalk Lane. The buildings have three tenants, from west to east: Maudie’s Café, Twin Liquors and the (former) Goodwill store. The base zoning is general commercial services – neighborhood plan (CS-NP) with footprint zoning for commercial-liquor sales – neighborhood plan (CS-1- NP) for the café and liquor store. Requested Zoning The tenant space is being reconfigured with expanded liquor sales area (Tract 2). In addition, part of the area currently zoned for liquor sales (Maudie’s kitchen) is not necessary. To minimize the request for the commercial-liquor sales zoning, the applicant proposes that some of the existing CS-1-NP zoning revert to CS-NP zoning (Tract 1). Tract 1: 2,285 sq. ft. from CS-1-NP to CS-NP Tract 2: 5,327 sq. ft. from CS-NP to CS-1-NP Tract 1 is generally the west end of the building occupied by Maudie’s Café.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing a mixed use project with 258 residential units above ground-floor retail. The property is located in an area with industrial zoning and is located near the Airport Overlay Zone. Staff does not support placing residential uses in this area. See the associated zoning case report, C14-2020-0101, for more information the property in relation to the Airport Overlay Zone. Below are sections of the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan document that addresses industrial areas within the planning area. Industrial Zones A distinctive element of the existing land use landscape within the Planning Areas is that there are defined districts with large amounts of existing industrial development, and numerous undeveloped properties with industrial zoning. The fact that this part of southeast Austin is surrounded by major transportation corridors, has a large amount of undeveloped land, and is in close proximity to the airport makes it a very attractive location for industrial development. The McKinney and Southeast NPAs host the majority of this type of construction, much of this in the form of large industrial office parks. Instead of rejecting industrial-type development around their homes, residents in the Franklin Park and McKinney NPAs have been successful at communicating and cooperating with nearby industrial property owners. Area residents have traditionally been amenable to those types of industrial uses that don’t interfere with neighborhood activities or infringe upon their quality of life. Goal 4 Ensure that existing residential and industrial zoned properties co-exist in a compatible manner. Objective 4.1 Provide appropriate buffer zones between residential and industrial zoned properties. Action Item 9 Where needed, create …

The applicant requested Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning and the Historic Landmark Commission voted at their November 16th meeting to initiate a Historic (H) zoning on the building and organization. By postponing the case to January 26th, the Planning Commission may be able to consider both cases at one public hearing. This also helps to minimize the number of hearings that the applicant and other interested parties must attend. 1 of 1B-13

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code prior to its release. SUMMARY STAFF COMMENT ON SITE PLAN: A 28,358 square foot art gallery exists on site. The applicant is seeking to add a cocktail lounge use to supplement the art gallery events. A cocktail lounge is a conditional use in CS-1 zoning districts according to Land Development Code Section 25-2-491. Therefore, Land Use Commission review and approval is required. The CS-1 zoning makes up 28,358 square feet of the 2-lot, 521,848.8 square foot site. The site is already developed. No construction will occur with this site plan approval.

Planning Commission Q & A Report B-1 - B -4 Chair Shaw / Staff • Does the applicant have proposed concept drawings for the properties? It has been a year since the public meeting when applicant stated they had none. There are no conceptual plans. It is my understanding that the owners plan to sell the properties but don’t have a buyer in mind. • The main church building was designed by John S. Chase, the first African American to graduate from the University of Texas at Austin in Architecture. Preservation of this building was a major topic of discussion in the community meeting. What is the opinion of the Historic Preservation Office as to the historic significance of this church and what is the process for its preservation given the change in ownership? David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church qualifies as a city historic landmark under the criteria for architectural distinction and historical significance. It was designed by John S. Chase, the first African-American licensed architect in the State of Texas, and is a masterpiece of mid- century Modern church architecture. The David Chapel congregation also has historical significance; the first home of the congregation, at 14th Street and Chestnut Avenue (now St. Paul Primitive Baptist Church) is a historic landmark. Recent state law (House Bill 2496) requires that a building owned by a religious organization may only be designated as a historic landmark if the religious organization consents to the designation. • Micah King stated on behalf of the applicant, “They want to be respectful of the single family uses surrounding the property and to also respect the history.” How does applicant intent to meet this commitment? Pending • In 11-30-2020 Letter from Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (From-David Carroll, Vice Chair), contact team supports CS-MU-V-NP for Tracts 1, 2 and 3 and they stated that they came to an agreement with applicant to rezone Tract 4 to GR-V-MU- CO-NP. However, GR-V-MU-CO-NP is not what is shown as applicant’s request in the backup. Does applicant agree to GR-V-MU-CO-NP instead of CS-MU-V-NP for Tract 4? The applicant agrees to GR-MU-V-CO-NP for Tract 4. Staff, however, is recommending LO-MU-CO-NP. Chair Shaw / Staff B-7 Chair Shaw / Staff B-17 See attachment. The Central West Austin Neighborhood Plan Contact Team opposed the NPA change. Are they speaking to their opposition that we should move this item for discuss on the agenda? No …
