Based on continued discussions between the Applicant and Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, the Applicant has decided to amend their application. The Applicant is modifying their request to ninety feet (90’) of height, rather than eighty-five feet (85’). This requires renotification for the July 13, 2021 agenda.

WHELLAN (512) 435-2320 mwhellan@abaustin.com Via email at Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov and Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov Heather Chaffin Maureen Meredith City of Austin Re: Subject: 1501 E. 6th St. - Plan Amendment Case: NPA-2020-0002.02; Zoning Case C-14-2021-0058 Dear Ms. Chaffin and Ms. Meredith: Because we have engaged in further discussions with the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team, we would like to modify the Applicant’s request in the above- referenced Neighborhood Plan Amendment and the Zoning Case to reflect ninety feet (90’) of height, rather than eighty-five feet (85’). Independently, we have discussed entering into a private restrictive covenant with the neighborhood to restrict the height of the building to 85 feet as measured from the ground floor on E. 6th St. The combination of the site’s slope and the way in which the City measures height necessitate this safeguard to ensure the building’s proportions match those supported by the neighborhood. We understand that the case will be postponed until the July 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting and that we will be invoiced for the new notification. Of course, I am happy to answer any questions. Very truly yours, Michael J. Whellan {W1065640.1}

Chapter/ Page # Topic Proposed Amendment Justification References (if needed) Notes PC Vote Staff Response Proposed Text Change (Underline added text/Strikethrough deleted text) Text Change Included in Amendment (YES/NO) Image included The creation of a subdistrict on the Eastern end (subdistrict 4) aligns with the URB approval The creation of the subdistrict is necessary to reflect our other recommendations See staff recommendation to leave this subdistrict as part of Subdistricts 1 and 2. This recommendation will reduce and eliminate entitlements, create nonconforming uses, and effectively remove these properties from the NCCD. For example, 1310 Rosewood Avenue has the base zoning of SF-3 which does not allow commerical or multi-family uses; however, under the current NCCD regualtions and staff recommendations this site would be able to utilize the commercial and multi-family entitlements allowed in Subdistrict 1. Staff was made aware of the reduction in entitlements when engaging with property owners after the Urban Renewal Board made its recommendation. Intention: No nonconforming structure should be created in Subdistrict 4 Existing structures are one to two stories. While this change will probably not create nonconforming structures, it will reduce building height entitlements for properties in this subdistrict. No Recommendation for Subdistrict 1,2 and 3, aligns with staff recommendation and recommendation for Subdistrict 4 aligns with URB recommendation Allows for existing planning processes to proceed while aligning with existing entitlements and responding to neighborhood concerns Responding to neighborhood concerns. Cocktail lounge is an accessory use in hotel-motel and allowing it as a conditional use would allow better planning around the accessory use Responding to neighborhood concerns and aligning with existing neighborhood character Responding to neighborhood concerns.

• Do the use allowances recommended by Staff for 11 St. NCCD apply along Rosewood as well or not? Can you please clarify the staff note in cell D4 in the DRAFT_PCWG_RecTable spreadsheet that you shared with us this? o Staff recommends that conditions related to use placement along 11th Street do not apply to Rosewood Avenue. This clarification is only needed if the staff recommendation for Subdistrict 1 to front along Rosewood is accepted. • Are condo/town home prohibited as a use in the staff recommendation for both 11th and 12th streets? Why are we looking to prohibit a use (SF) that is expressly called out in the original URP vision for the street? o Townhouse and Condominium use are allowed in both NCCDs with the condition that they will not front on 11th or 12th street. o The recommendation is to allow for single family use to continue where it exists through the “save & except” provision and on 12th street, where the base zoning is SF-3. • o Unsure which part of the original URP is being referenced. Please clarify. Is there a map that can show lot numbers in the area? We are specifically, trying to understand which lots are Lot 16 and 18. o Updated map attached!
