C14-2021-0029 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0029 – Acton Site DISTRICT: 9 East Riverside Corridor (ERC) district - Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict East Riverside Corridor (ERC) district - Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict, to change a condition of zoning. ZONING FROM: ZONING TO: ADDRESS: 1404 E. Riverside SITE AREA: 2.6 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Acton School of Business (Jeff Sandefer) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends East Riverside Corridor (ERC) district zoning, to change the conditions of zoning by amending Figure 1-6 (East Riverside Corridor Hub Map) to include the subject property within a Hub Boundary and Figure 1-8 (East Riverside Corridor Development Bonus Height Map) to allow for a maximum height of 120 feet through the density bonus program. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. SMALL AREA PLANNING JOINT COMMITTEE April 14, 2021 Scheduled for Small Area Planning Joint Committee PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 27, 2021 To be Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 20, 2021 To be Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0029 2 ISSUES There are no known issues at this time and staff has not received any written or emailed comments in favor of or in opposition to this rezoning case. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This site currently contains the Acton School of Business and is zoned ERC with a subdistrict designation of CMU. It is approximately 2.6 acres and is located on the north side of E. Riverside Drive. It is adjacent to existing ERC zoned properties to the west, east and across E. Riverside Drive to the south. Adjacent properties to the west and east are also designated as CMU subdistricts and the property to the south is designated as a Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict. Adjacent to the north is the Lady Bird Lake and is not zoned. Please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map, Exhibit B: Aerial Map and Exhibit C: ERC Maps. The applicant is not requesting to rezone their subdistrict or change any of the base entitlements currently allowed. They are requesting to amend Figure 1-6 (East Riverside Corridor Hub Map) to include the subject property which would allow for the owner to participate in the development bonus program, and to Figure 1-8 (East Riverside Corridor Development Bonus Height Map) which would allow up to 120’ in height if …
Acton Site One-Pager The applicant is requesting to participate in the East Riverside density bonus program, in order to build a multifamily project at the intersection of two major corridors. The site is roughly 2.6 acres, located at the East Riverside Corridor’s intersection with I-35. It was previously used as the Acton School of Business. The applicant is planning a multifamily project and is requesting the ability to participate in the East Riverside Corridor density bonus. The density bonus would provide additional floor-to-area ratio (FAR) and height in exchange for the project providing city-mandated community benefits for affordability and open space. The project is in the Waterfront Overlay, and will fully comply with all Waterfront Overlay regulations. The Waterfront Overlay sets a 96-ft. height cap, 100-ft. setback from Town Lake, and 50 percent impervious cover limit outside the setback area – with which the project will fully comply. The project will also support the housing policies outlined in the Town Lake Corridor Study, such as encouraging “a variety of housing opportunities” (Policy 2.09) and “provid[ing] incentives for increasing residential uses,” including “additional floor area allowance” (Policy 5.07). The applicant’s only request is the ability to participate in the East Riverside Corridor density bonus, which mandates affordability and open space requirements. The applicant is not requesting any change to base zoning entitlements or to Waterfront Overlay regulations (See Figure 1). The only request is to allow the applicant to participate in the ERC density bonus in order to achieve additional FAR and the 96 ft. of height allowable under the Waterfront Overlay – doing so will mandate the applicant meet the city’s affordability and open space requirements. Additionally, this project will help the city better meet its goals for housing, affordability, and transit. The city has set ambitious goals for 135,000 new housing units and 60,000 income-restricted units from 2018 to 2028, as well as for 16 percent of Austin commuters using transit by 2039. However, the city is falling short of these goals. Over just the first two years, Austin has underperformed its annual goal for income-restricted housing by over 7,200 units and for overall housing by over 3,500 units – a deficit the city will need to make up in future years. To meet the goal of 16 percent of commuters using transit, Austin would need to experience steady ridership …
Nikelle S. Meade Partner 111 Congress Avenue, Suite 1400 Austin, Texas 78701 Direct: 512.479.1147 nikelle.meade@huschblackwell.com April 8, 2021 Chair Shieh and Committee Members The Small Area Planning Joint Committee The City of Austin Re: Planned Multi-Family Development in the Lamar Subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay for an Approximately 3.189-Acre Property Located at 300 and 301 Pressler Street and 1409, 1501, and 1505 W. 3rd Street in Austin, Texas (the “Property”) Dear Chair Shieh and Committee Members: On behalf of the owners of the above-referenced Property, we appreciate the opportunity to meet with you regarding our planned multi-family residential development with an accompanying commercial use. We wanted to meet with you early in the process to gather your input and seek your support for the project, especially since we have heard your concerns about the insufficiency of small area planning and early public engagement in relation to many of the projects that are brought before you. The Property is located in the Lamar Subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay on the northernmost edge of the overlay (a map depicting this is attached as Exhibit A). It consists of three tracts of land, which will be developed as a cohesive project (a map of the Property is attached as Exhibit B). The Property has historically had primarily industrial and commercial uses, and in its current state the Property does nothing to achieve the goals of the Waterfront Overlay, and actually conflicts with the stated goals by impeding pedestrian access to the Lady Bird Lake Corridor, lacking any lively pedestrian-oriented mixed uses, and failing to recognize the potential of the waterfront as an open space connector.
