ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: CS DISTRICT: 6 CASE: C14-2021-0147 (12117 Jekel Circle) ADDRESS: 12117 Jekel Circle ZONING FROM: SF-3 SITE AREA: 1.67 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Three-A SAC Self Storage Limited Partnership AGENT: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Amanda C. Brown) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 2, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-1 C14-2021-0147 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 1.665 acre tract of land located on the south side of Jekel Circle that is being used to store moving trucks for the U-Haul business to the south. Surrounding land uses include vehicle storage and a house to the north, the U-Haul Convenience Storage and Rental Center and automotive uses to the south, a convenience storage facility to the east and automotive sales and religious assembly uses to the west. The applicant is requesting CS zoning to bring the existing use into conformance with land use regulations in the Land Development Code and to expand the U- Haul Center to the south (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning at this location because the property is located within an industrial area. The lots surrounding this site to the north, south, east and west are zoned with LI, LI-CO, CS-CO, GR-CO and GR zoning for commercial and industrial use.

The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to utilize the property for commercial uses that are consistent with surrounding land use patterns in this area. The rezoning site is located within the designated ‘183 & McNeil Neighborhood Center’, as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General commercial services (CS) district is the designation for a commercial or industrial use of a service nature that has operating characteristics or traffic service requirements that are incompatible with residential environments. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The General Commercial Services district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding land use patterns because there is …
