For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 27, 2021: April 13, 2021: To grant postponement to April 27, 2021 as requested by Neighborhood. (12-0) [Commissioner Thompson- 1st, Commissioner Hempel- 2nd; Commissioner Shieh- Absent] CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 6, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 194B-1 C14-2020-0089 2 ISSUES: This rezoning request is distinct from requests submitted in January and February of 2020 (C14-2020-0003 and C14-2020-0014). The prospective developers involved in those requests withdrew their applications prior to public hearing because they decided not to pursue the purchase of the property because the site did not meet their development needs. The current rezoning request previously included two tracts, requesting a change from SF-3- NP to MF-6-NP for Tract 1 and from GR-MU-NP to GR-MU-V-NP for Tract 2. On February 1, 2021 the applicant removed Tract 1 from the rezoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Original Zoning Request. A petition has been filed in response to the proposed rezoning. The petition is currently being reviewed by staff to determine if it meets the criteria of a Valid Petition. Please see Exhibit D- Valid Petition Request. The rezoning tract is immediately adjacent to a historic cemetery that dates to the 1800s. Neighbors have expressed concerned about the possibility of graves being located outside the property lines of the cemetery and possibly located on the rezoning tract. The rezoning tract is not located on an existing or future core transit corridor. Springdale Road is designated as an Activity Corridor in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is located northwest of the intersection of East 12th Street and Springdale Road; the undeveloped property is zoned GR-MU-NP. Immediately south of the property is a small retail center that is also zoned GR-MU-NP and contains general restaurant-limited and personal services land uses. Immediately west of the rezoning tract is undeveloped SF-3-NP property that is under the same ownership as the rezoning …
