ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: MF-6 DISTRICT: 10 CASE: C14-2021-0100 (Luby’s Site) ADDRESS: 8176 North MoPac Expressway ZONING FROM: LR SITE AREA: 2.38 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Luby's Fuddruckers Restaurants, LLC (Bill Gordon) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 3, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 21B-5 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 2.38 acre lot that contains a restaurant use (Luby’s Cafeteria) located on the southwest corner of the Mopac Expressway Service Road and Steck Avenue. The tracts of land to the north and south are zoned LO/LR and are developed with office complexes. To the east is a highway, North MoPac Expressway. The lot to the west is developed with a multifamily use (La Montreaux Apartments). In this application, the applicant is requesting to rezone this property from LR, Neighborhood Commercial district, zoning to MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning to redevelop this site with a 275-unit multifamily apartment complex, which would include 10 percent of total units (28 units) available as long-term Affordable housing units at 80 percent of Median Family Income (MFI) (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning because the site under consideration meets this intent of the MF-6 district as it is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of an arterial roadway, Steck Avenue, and a highway, North MoPac Expressway and is near a designated ‘Neighborhood Activity Center’ in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. The proposed MF-6 zoning would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because this property is adjacent to office and commercial zoning to the north and south and multifamily zoning to the west. The surrounding zoning permits office and commercial services that can be utilized by the residents of this proposed residential development. MF-6 district zoning will provide for additional housing opportunities in this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Highest Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use. This district is appropriate for highest density housing in centrally located areas near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, …

I am not able to attend the hearing but would like to register my objection to this rezoning application. I have lived at 8228 Summer Place Drive for over 30 years and am aware of the traffic patterns and problems surrounding the property at 8176 N. Mopac Expressway SVRD SB. I feel re-zoning this property from LR (Neighborhood Commercial district) to MF-6 (Multifamily Residence (Highest Density)) is inappropriate. I want to thank the Zoning and Platting Commission for soliciting input from residents within the area. I think this is a wise and important step in the evaluation process. In conclusion, I object to the rezoning and want to urge the Zoning and Platting Commission to deny the request. Respectfully yours, Mark Walsh 8228 Summer Place Dr. Austin, Tx, 78759 Daytime telephone: 512-343-1414 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

From: To: Subject: Date: Susan Summers Sirwaitis, Sherri Objections to zoning change Monday, August 2, 2021 3:39:20 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Sirwaitis, I write to record my opposition to the proposed zoning change for the Luby’s property at the Mopac-Steck intersection. I believe that a combination of decreased business for Luby’s and diminished traffic due to the pandemic have caused a false picture of traffic conditions in the area. I have been familiar with this area for 33 years. Ingress and egress at this property have always been extremely problematic. My first point: when Luby’s was a “going” business, people going west on Steck would turn left across eastbound traffic to enter the parking lot. This caused long and frustrating waits for people in the cars behind them. A densely populated apartment house will once again make this a problem. Second, at peak times one can wait through 2 traffic lights in the left lane when headed east on …
Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-06 C14-2021-0100 - Luby's Site; District 10 Commissioner Thompson: A quick internet search indicated that this property falls within the habitat map for karst invertebrates within the BCP. We’ve also received some materials suggesting historical presence of karst invertebrates in the Dead Dog cave beneath the property. What are the requirements to survey and mitigate for impacts to listed karst invertebrates within the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve? Staff Response: to authorities for certain projects per LDC 25-8-691 through 25-8-696. The applicant will need to work with appropriate authorities, either in the BCP or Fish and Wildlife, to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act. WPD staff will review the project for compliance with Critical Environmental Feature requirements per 25-8-281 when a site plan is submitted. Commissioner Denkler / Applicant response in red: Has the applicant or property owner had any discussions with the city regarding the affordable housing? Because the applicant is not seeking VMU overlay and is not in a regulating plan or downtown, there is no City program tied to rezoning that requires affordable housing and the City cannot independently require affordability. Instead, the applicant has voluntarily offered to provide income-restricted units for 40 years. Is the applicant using any government or private financing to finance or build the 28 units? (Application says they are not proposing Smart Housing.) The applicant has not indicated that there are any government subsidies associated with the redevelopment and instead has indicated that these Affordable Units would be privately financed. Are the 28 units proposed as rental units or for purchase and for how long? How would the city guarantee this, through a contract or public restrictive covenant? The applicant has indicated that the redevelopment will be for rental units and that 10% of the units would remain affordable for 40 years. Because the City cannot require affordability in this case, the applicant has indicated that it will be entering private restrictive covenants with NWACA (neighborhood association) and HomeBase (Habitat affiliate).
