Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 Re: 2612 S 1st Street Board of Adjustment Variance – Board of Adjustment (“BOA”) variance request for the combined 0.519-acre property located at 600 Cumberland Road, 2612 S. 1st Street and 2610 S. 1st Street, Austin, Travis County, TX 78704 (the “Property”). Dear Board of Adjustment Members: As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully submit the enclosed Board of Adjustment Variance application for the combined 0.519-acre property located at 600 Cumberland Road, 2612 S. 1st Street and 2610 S. 1st Street (TCAD IDs 0404041214, 0404041213 and 0404041212). The Property is currently platted as Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block A, Oak Ridge Heights Section 1 Subdivision, as recorded in Volume 4, Page 212 of the Plat Records of Travis County, Texas. A Site Plan (SP-2021-0219C.SH) was approved on June 9, 2023 for a structure with 90 condominium residential units and approximately 3,687 SF of general retail sales and restaurant uses per the Affordability Unlocked program, which waives Compatibility restrictions. The development is certified as a for-rent S.M.A.R.T. housing project and is partnering with a Housing Finance Corporation (HFC). Effective July 15, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240516-003 rezoned the site from GR (Community Commercial) and GR-V (Community Commercial – Vertical Mixed Use Building) to GR-ETOD-DBETOD (Community Commercial – Equitable Transit Oriented Development – Density Bonus Equitable Transit Oriented Development) and GR- V-ETOD-DBETOD (Community Commercial – Vertical Mixed Use Building – Equitable Transit Oriented Development – Density Bonus Equitable Transit Oriented Development). The S.M.A.R.T. Housing program requires that at least 50% of the units be set aside at an average of 60% MFI and the HFC requires that at least 90% of the units be set aside at an average of 80% MFI. Affordability Unlocked, however, requires that at least 50% of the units be set aside at a hard cap of 60% MFI with 20% of the total units also set aside at a hard cap of 50% MFI. The Affordability Unlocked program’s lack of averaging makes that project infeasible. Therefore, without the compatibility waiver that accompanies that program, the multifamily project, including the affordable units, is infeasible. In order to reasonably develop the site with a multifamily structure, we are requesting a variance to the ETOD compatibility requirement set forth in LDC §25-2-654(H)(3) and (4)(a) that require a maximum structure height of 60’ within 50’ of a triggering property, and a compatibility buffer width of 25’. Our request is to reduce (H)(3) from 50’ to 2’4 27/32” to 5” 6” and to reduce (4)(a) to 2’4 27/32” to 5” 6”, with both varying along the irregular property line. In order to mitigate this reduced setback, we will provide additional landscaping between the fence line and the single family homes. ITEM04/10The purpose of the ETOD combining district is to enhance “transit-supportive uses, encourage more equitable land stewardship with increased bicycle, pedestrian and transit connectivity, housing options and opportunities” per §25-2-182(A). The approved structure provides an increased diversity of housing and a mix of uses within the designated ETOD boundary (within half a mile of Project Connect Austin Light Rail). The applicable zoning regulations strictly applied do not allow for a reasonable use of the property due to the non-standard shape of the site and the exceptionally narrow (78’) and irregularly shaped southern lot. The 25’ buffer zone along the triggering (western) property line removes approximately 31% of the site area from development. The reduction in developable area does not allow for the geometric requirements of the parking garage for circulation. Additionally, the 60’ maximum height stepback reduces the numbers of dwelling units on floors 6-8 and makes those units unreachable due to the necessary location of the elevator and stair core. The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that the property is located with frontage on S. 1st Street, which is identified as a Core Transit Corridor. As well as being within the ETOD boundary, S. 1st Street is identified as a roadway where development density, mix of uses, and transit facilities should encourage and support transit use. The narrow width of the southern portion of the site (78’) is unique along this corridor in that most of the adjacent properties with adjacent single-family zoning triggering properties have lot widths greater than 100’. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property. S. 1st Street has a mixture of development density and uses. Within one block of the corner of S. 1st Street and Cumberland, there are four commercial use properties with less than 25’ buffer to adjacent single-family properties. S. 1st Street has multifamily buildings, commercial buildings and mixed-use in accordance with ETOD objectives. The use of adjacent properties will not be impaired. The project was designed with screened parking for the first three floors with residential uses starting on floor four. This is to ensure a level of insulation between adjacent uses and residences. The variance will not impair the purpose of the zoning regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located as the variance will allow development of this site with transit-supportive uses in accordance with the intended character of S. 1st Street as a Core Transit Corridor and within the ETOD combining district. We have reached out to the neighborhood association to discuss our proposal. Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention to this project. Sincerely, Leah M.

Reasonable Use: The applicant then builds on top of their unfounded hardship claim to say that the “unique” property has an “irregular shape” and is “exceptionally narrow,” and thus deprives the owner of “reasonable use”. Please reference the above reasoning on how the property is neither an irregular shape nor is it exceptionally narrow. Again, the owner knowledgably purchased this standard-size Cumberland property alongside the two S 1st properties for his development. This, yet again, is a self-imposed limitation the owner was aware of when purchasing and designing his commercial development. 3. Area Character: In responding to the area character criterion, the applicant does not adequately address how their 118 unit, 87 foot tall multifamily design may actually impact the neighborhood. If the Board grants the variances, the extended height, added volume of units, lack of parking per unit, and proximity to single-family homes will have a very clear negative impact on the single-family neighbors. The applicant makes two main claims regarding this criterion: a) that there are other multifamily developments along S 1st, and b) there are other commercial buildings with less than 25 foot rear setbacks in the area. In addressing a), the applicant is correct that there are multifamily developments along S 1st, but it is important to note that those developments are all 5 levels or fewer. They appear to maintain the 60 foot code-required setback height from the single-family homes in the area. As for b), there are several commercial businesses in the area which impinge on the 25 foot rear setback, however, all of those businesses are one level or less. Their impact on the adjacent single-family homes is minimal due to their low height. The setback proposed is far too close to 2613 S 2nd St and other adjacent houses and without the proper setback, drainage and potential flooding is a concern. The proposed development will be so tall it will tower over the single-family homes on S 2nd and S 3rd Streets and “diminish privacy”. The added units provided by the added height will “increase traffic on adjacent streets,” and the lack of parking per unit will certainly make S 2nd St, S 3rd St, and Stacy Ln the de facto 24h/7days/week permanent parking for the residents. If granted the variances, the development will be the tallest structure along S. 1st between Barton Springs and Ben White. It clearly “exceeds the size and ITEM04/31ITEM04/32ITEM04/33ITEM04/34
