For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 17, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 02, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this case. 1 of 9B-8 C14-2021-0114 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The area was annexed into Austin Limited Purpose Jurisdiction in 1986. The subject site is south of Anderson Mill Road and west of FM 620. Access to the site from FM 620 to Windy Ridge Road heading west then bending north for about 0.8 miles. The rezoning tract is located on the west side of Windy Ridge Road where it currently terminates. The area around the subject site is within the Austin Limited Purpose Jurisdiction on three sides and zoned Development Reserve (DR). The land contiguous to the western property line is in the Austin ETJ and not zoned. The area is mixed woodland, scrub and open areas. There is CS-CO zoning east of the subject tract, across Windy Ridge Road and 200 feet to the east. That site is developed with mini-storage and has frontage on FM 620. Note that FM 620 is almost 1,200 to the east. Windy Ridge Road is a paved road without curbs, gutters or sidewalks. Detached residences on large lots are visible along the road from where it splits with Hanging Valley Drive and bends northward. The Applicant is requesting zoning for a similar use, a single family residence - large lot (SF-1) district zoning for the 5.014 acre (218,409 square foot) tract. Applicant intends to subdivide the tract into two residential building sites. While a 10,000 square foot site is the minimum lot size for SF-1 in some areas, this location, over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, allows 1 residential unit per 2 net acres. There are neither floodplains nor creek buffers on the site. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends single-family residence - large lot (SF-1) district zoning as the applicant requested. 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. …

William Cannon Dr. Suite 147 SITE AREA: 0.203 acres (8,832 sq. ft. footprint) PROPERTY OWNER: Field Realty Partners (James Grady Field) APPLICANT: Betsy’s Billiards, (Betsy Dees) AGENT: Keepers Land Planning, (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant commercial-liquor sales (CS-1) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 17, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 02, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 17B-9 C14-2021-0092 2 ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject zoning site is south of West William Cannon Drive and east of Manchaca Road. The Towne Square Center has three large multiple tenant buildings. The current zoning of the shopping center is primarily community commercial (GR) with one commercial – liquor sales (CS-1) footprint and one commercial – liquor sales – conditional overlay (CS-1-CO) footprint. The Church’s Chicken and River City Donut buildings are pad sites under separate ownership. The rezoning tract is the former CVS Drug store leasehold, an 8,832 square foot leased space in the south-most building on the Manchaca end of the building. The applicant is the owner and operator of the restaurant and pool hall. The proposal is to continue the operation of the restaurant and pool hall and to add liquor sales. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Commercial-liquor sales district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. The existing restaurant and billiards hall is located in a shopping center bounded by two major roadways: West William Cannon Drive is a street level 4; and Manchaca Road is a street level 3 in the ASMP (Austin Strategic Mobility Plan). 2. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors Both W. William Cannon Dr. and Manchaca Rd. are arterial roads and the requested CS-1 zoning would be consistent with locating intensive zoning near a two-arterial intersection. 3. Zoning should not constitute a grant of special …
