BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is located on the south side of Stobaugh Street approximately 400 feet west of the main traffic lanes (~300 feet from frontage road) of North Lamar Blvd, which is identified as an activity corridor on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept map where increased density is supported. The existing land use is Single family and the proposed land use is Multifamily. Mixed Use land use is on adjacent property to the north and east side of the subject tract. Single family and multifamily land use is on adjacent property to the south and single family land is on adjacent property to the west. The applicant’s request for Multifamily land use will provide a buffer between the auto body shop commercial use directly to the east of the property and the single family uses to the west. The property is near public transit facilities and within walking distance to commercial uses. Adding additional dwelling units in this location is appropriate. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan document recommends that existing single family areas retain the SF-3 zoning, however, given the need for housing in Austin, transitioning these two lots to multifamily will provide an opportunity to increase housing options in the planning area and the city. 2 2 of 53B-6 Planning Commission: July 13, 2021 Subject tracts location near Project Connect proposed light rail Orange and Blue lines LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 22, 2021: To grant postponement to June 22, 2021 as requested by Applicant, on consent. June 8, 2021: To grant postponement to June 22, 2021 as requested by Staff, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-10 C14-2021-0058 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a mixed use project that includes multifamily, office and commercial land uses. They intend to provide on-site affordable multifamily units at 10% of the gross floor area per the TOD Density Bonus. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant requests increasing the building height from 60 feet to 90 feet. This includes updating the Station Area Plan (SAP) and Regulating Plan. The request also requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA), which is being processed concurrent with the rezoning request (City File # NPA- 2020-0002.02). The rezoning request was originally filed requesting a maximum building height of 85 feet. After further discussions with the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (ECC NPCT), the Applicant revised the request to a maximum height of 90 feet due to variation in topography that affect calculations of building height under City Code. The Applicant has stated that they will enter into a private restrictive covenant to establish where the increased height will be located on the site. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Onion Street and Comal Street and East 5th Street and East 6th Street.
