WHELLAN (512) 435-2320 mwhellan@abaustin.com Via email Board of Adjustment 301 W. 2nd St. Austin, TX 78701 Subject: Variance Request for 5916 North Lamar Blvd. and 900 Old Koenig Lane Dear Members: Please accept this letter on behalf of 5916 N Lamar Investor, LLC Applicant is requesting a variance from compatibility standards related to an adjacent church, the Koenig Lane Christian Church, in order to help provide a Vertical Mixed-Use (VMU) project featuring affordable housing. Koenig Lane Christian Church supports this request. The Property is located near the intersection of North Lamar Boulevard and Old Koenig Lane, and is largely surrounded by sites zoned for mixed-use and commercial uses, with the North Austin Reservoir (zoned for Public) to the south. The fact that the Property and neighboring sites are largely zoned for mixed-use and commercial ity has consistently identified North Lamar Boulevard as an appropriate location for increased housing and mixed-use development, designating it as a Core Transit Corridor (2005), an Imagine Austin Corridor (2012), and a Transit Priority Network Roadway (2019), as well as funding the development of a North Lamar Corridor Plan through the 2016 mobility bond. nt calls for 6,651 units at an affordability level of up to 80 percent MFI in District 7 by 2027 and 63,201 units up to 80 percent MFI by 2027. According the City data, however, to date there are currently only 896 income-restricted units up to 80 percent MFI in District 7 and 12,110 citywide. This means that the City will need to obtain roughly 720 affordable units in District 7 per year and 6,387 citywide per year in order to reach its goals. The Applicants are seeking a variance in order to allow for a reasonable use of the Property as the type of corridor- {W0981256.6} E-1/4 ARMBRUST & BROWN, PLLC Page 2 Specifically, the variance would relieve the Property from the compatibility standards triggered by the Koenig Lane Christian Church, located at 908 Old Koenig Ln. This variance is necessary due to a number of constraints unique to the Property, including: Ensuring preservation of an on-site heritage tree; and Additional setback required along the Old Koenig Lane portion of the site due to an existing transmission line. These constraints together hamper the ability of the site to achieve a reasonable use and deliver -oriented projects with meaningful long-term affordability. In order to account for these constraints, the Applicant, with the agreement of the Koenig Lane Christian Church, has requested a variance from compatibility standards triggered by the church. The Applicant is not seeking a variance from any compatibility standards related to single-family homes or lots. In addition to site constraints, there are four noteworthy factors that indicate that a compatibility variance related to the Koenig Lane Christian Church is appropriate. First, the Koenig Lane Christian Church is zoned with GR-MU-CO-NP, which provides that site with mixed-use entitlements that would not otherwise trigger compatibility standards. Second, there is a 75 ft.- tall cell tower already located on the Koenig Lane Christian Church site today that exceeds compatibility standards, and the site retains land use entitlements to construct a replacement tower of the same height. Our variance request would allow a project that is shorter and farther from the church building than this cell tower. Third, the Koenig Lane Christian Church site and in this triggers compatibility not because of its zoning, but because it is used as a church case, the church agrees with and supports our variance request. Finally, the Brentwood Neighborhood Association has reviewed our requested variance and submitted a letter of non-opposition. (Copies of both the church and neighborhood letters are enclosed in this application packet.) Ultimately, I believe our application demonstrates that the Property faces a number of site- specific challenges relating to transmission line setbacks and a heritage tree, and that our request supported by that church and not opposed by to waive compatibility to a neighboring church the neighborhood is appropriate and warranted. Obtaining this variance will allow the Property to move forward as the type of mixed-use project the City envisions for the North Lamar corridor, including affordable housing. I appreciate your consideration of this application and look forward to presenting our requested variance to the Board of Adjustment. Very truly yours, {W0981256.6} Michael J. Whellan E-1/5 5916 N. Lamar Blvd. Variance Summary City policies identify the 5916 N. Lamar site as appropriate for mixed-use and affordable housing. The City has consistently identified North Lamar Boulevard as appropriate for increased housing and mixed-use projects, designating it a Core Transit Corridor (2005), Imagine Austin Corridor (2012), 2016 Mobility Bond Corridor, and a Transit Priority Network Roadway (2019). The 5916 N. Lamar site is zoned for Vertical Mixed Use (VMU), an affordable housing bonus program through which applicants provide 10 percent of total units as affordable units at 60 percent of Median Family Income (MFI) in exchange for relaxed site development standards. However, the site faces unique constraints that impact its ability to achieve a reasonable use. The variance is necessary due to the constraints of preserving an on-site heritage tree and required additional setback along the Old Koenig Lane frontage due to a transmission line. -oriented projects with meaningful long-term affordability. ity to achieve a reasonable use and deliver on In order to account for these constraints, the applicant is requesting a variance from compatibility related to the adjacent Koenig Lane Christian Church site. Single-family compatibility would still apply. The Koenig Lane Christian Church is located adjacent to the 5916 N. Lamar site, and triggers compatibility based on its use as a church. It does not trigger compatibility based on zoning. Granting this variance would allow the applicant to waive compatibility in relation to the church but would maintain full compatibility with all nearby single-family properties (See Figure 1). The Koenig Lane Christian Church supports this request, and the Brentwood Neighborhood Association does not oppose it. Additionally, a number of supporting factors indicate this variance request is appropriate: The church is zoned for mixed-use entitlements that would not otherwise trigger compatibility standards. The only reason it triggers compatibility today is because it is used as a church. There is a cell tower already located on the church site that exceeds compatibility standards; the variance would allow a project shorter and farther from the church than the cell tower. Granting this variance would address the mixed-use project the City envisions for North Lamar, including affordable housing. unique constraints and allow it to achieve the type of Single-Family Compatibility (By Zoning) Church Compatibility (By Use) Within 25 ft. of Church Within 50 ft. of Church Within 100 ft. of Church Max.

The Applicant is requesting a variance from compatibility standards related to an adjacent church, the Koenig Lane Christian Church, in order to help provide a Vertical Mixed-Use (VMU) project featuring affordable housing. Koenig Lane Christian Church supports this request. The Property is located near the intersection of North Lamar Boulevard and Old Koenig Lane, and is largely surrounded by sites zoned for mixed-use and commercial uses, with the North Austin Reservoir (zoned for Public) to the south. The fact that the Property and neighboring sites are largely zoned for mixed-use and commercial is consistent with the City’s longstanding vision for North Lamar Boulevard. The City has consistently identified North Lamar Boulevard as an appropriate location for increased housing and mixed-use development, designating it as a Core Transit Corridor (2005), an Imagine Austin Corridor (2012), and a Transit Priority Network Roadway (2019), as well as funding the development of a North Lamar Corridor Plan through the 2016 mobility bond. This vision for directing growth on the North Lamar corridor complements the City’s vision for affordable housing. The City’s Strategic Housing Blueprint calls for 6,651 units at an affordability level of up to 80 percent MFI in District 7 by 2027 and 63,201 units up to 80 percent MFI by 2027.
