ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 3 TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning (As amended June 21, 2021) CASE: C14-2021-0058 Centro East ZONING FROM: TOD-NP ADDRESS: 1501 East 6th Street SITE AREA: 1.362 acres PROPERTY OWNER: 6th & Onion East Master GP, LLP (Donald Reese) AGENT: Armburst & Brown, PLLC (Michael J. Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to TOD-NP to amend the Saltillo Plaza Transit Oriented District (TOD) Station Area Plan and Regulating Plan to allow a building height up to 90 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. 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: 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. The property encompasses most of the block, with outparcels along Comal Street. The property is zoned …

The request is made for the following reasons: 1) Many of the stakeholders may be on summer vacation and unable to attend because they are out of town. Because of the pandemic, families were not able to travel last summer but are making up for it this summer before school starts in mid-August. 2) Many of the stakeholders have not yet received notification from the city of Austin about the hearing scheduled for July 13th. Neither the Crestview Neighborhood Association nor the Crestview Neighborhood Plan Contact team have received mailed notices as of Thursday, July 8th. In addition, I have been informed that some of the stakeholders within 200 feet of the subject tract have also not yet received notice of the scheduled hearing and there may be others that I'm not aware of that have not received their notice. 3) A postponement will allow additional time for further discussions between the applicant and neighborhood residents on various issues related to this case. Thank you for your consideration, Chip Harris, Facilitator Crestview Neighborhood Plan Contact Team

Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hello Kate, James Kracht Friday, July 9, 2021 9:00 AM Clark, Kate Comments On Case #C14-2021-0009 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I'm a resident at 1725 Toomey Road. As you know it is currently up to be rezoned to an MF‐6 lot. I would like to submit my objection to this measure. A few comments I'd like to leave on my objection: Disregarding the history of this building that has stood since the 1960's; this apartment complex is one of the only affordable buildings along Barton Springs road. The price points of whatever planned development will happen after rezoning certainly haven't been released yet; but it will be safe to assume someone making the median income of this city won't be able to afford it. This is my most unemotional objection to the measure. That destroying the economic diversity of this neighborhood is not just morally wrong but statistically not great for the neighborhood as a social ecosystem. I'm not inherently against changing the capacity of inhabitants on this lot. Austin faces a housing shortage, especially after the pandemic. But it's an affordable housing shortage. Building more tall "radiant garden cities" as Jane Jacobs would call them‐ facing inward and barring the street entry‐ will only serve to ruin this neighborhood. Zilker and Barton Springs belong to Austin and it's people. Not just it's rich people, and certainly not just tourists. An economically diverse neighborhood is a safer neighborhood afterall. I would like to put forward that if the city decides to change the zoning of this lot, that it also passes with it a stipulation. That whatever development be spawned here (once we destroy a beautiful testament to what this neighborhood looked like in Austin's "Good ol' days") be forced into a contract demanding a large percentage of it's units be affordable housing. Or perhaps even a cap on the rent allowed to be charged if I were to lean further left. Please don't let Zilker‐ and for that matter central south Austin‐ be walled off to the vast majority of people who live in this city. And please don't let Barton Springs road become like South Congress, a desert of a tourist trap. Thanks for your time and consideration, James James T.
