April 6, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission Meeting Question and Answer Report B-1 Vice-Chair Barrera Ramirez: Why don't they just close out the project and revise/amend the site plan when they are ready? What are the benefits of a site plan extension? Is it only that they get to take advantage of those regulations that were in place when they originally got the development approved and they are concerned that when they are ready to build, the regulations will be stricter? Response: Pending Commissioner King / Staff response in red: 1. What specific changes (additional lodges, additional square footage, parking, traffic, water, wastewater, utilities, etc.) are associated with this request for a three-year extension to the site plan expiration date? Response: The applicants have stated that their purpose in requesting the extension of time is to allow an opportunity to revise the site plan to add additional development. They have not disclosed (and may not have decided) the specifics of any changes they may request. Just today, we received a map (attached) showing the potential location of any additional development. Note that no changes in the approved plan are permitted with an extension of time. If changes are needed, a separate correction, revision, or subsequent Site Plan would be required. 2. What impacts will the changes have on drainage, well water, water quality, environment, parking, traffic, and utilities? Response: In the event the applicants apply for a Site Plan Revision, the application would be circulated to the same review disciplines who would review a new application in the same location. To address your specific questions: Drainage: Addressed by Drainage Engineering Reviewer. Well water/groundwater quantity: Not reviewed by City Staff as there are no applicable code sections. Water Quality: Addressed by Water Quality Reviewer. Environment: Addressed by Environmental Reviewer to the extent City of Austin regulations apply. In the ETJ, such reviews are more limited than in the Full Jurisdiction. Parking: Addressed by Transportation Reviewer, however, the parking requirements of the LDC do not apply in the ETJ. Traffic: Addressed by the Transportation and Austin Transportation Department reviewers. Again, most City regulations do not apply in the ETJ. Utilities: Addressed by reviewers from Austin Water and Austin Energy. Note that Site Plan applications in the ETJ are also reviewed by Travis County staff for compliance with their development ordinances. 3. What criteria does staff use to determine if a site plan …
