The existing layout includes two bedrooms , 2.5 bathrooms and a cover carport but lacks a main common area.

2003 Arpdale Street BOA Presentation DECEMBER 2024 ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION Variance Summary § 25-2-492 – Decrease the minimum side setback from 5 ft to 4 ft § 25-2-773 – Decrease the minimum lot size from 5,750 square feet to 5,500 square feet – Decrease the minimum rear setback from 10 ft to 5.5 ft Below is a site plan of the building which has been in its current form since the early 1990’s 2 ITEM06/2-PRESENTATION Unique Circumstances and Characteristics Reliance on TCAD • Owner relied on TCAD when purchasing the home in 2012 • TCAD reports the site area as 5,752.90 sf 3 ITEM06/3-PRESENTATION Unique Circumstances and Characteristics Minor Reduction in Lot Size • Most properties in the subdivision were platted in the forties or fifties at 6,000 square feet or more, and so they were unaffected when the minimum lot size of 5750 sf went into effect. It appears, however, that sometime after the house and garage were built, a portion of this lot was sold. The resulting deficiency was not recognized until recently. This circumstance is unique within this area. Converted in 1990’s • Not all lots in the area have a structure built in 1949 that was converted to an accessory dwelling in the early 1990’s. Poor Record Keeping and Enforcement • Poor construction record keeping and poor permit enforcement results in the owner inheriting an unpermitted accessory dwelling. Setbacks have been in place since 1949 • The structure and foundation have been in place since 1949, so the setback can not change. 4 ITEM06/4-PRESENTATION Support for Approval Neighborhood Support (verified by signatures). • Over 80% of the owners within 300 ft are in support of the variance • No recorded problems or complaints with structure used as an ADU. • Neighbors felt like this variance is a non-issue since this request involves an existing structure already being used as an ADU. • They do not feel like this ADU should be subject to regulations intended to limit the amount of new construction and conversions in the area. 5 ITEM06/5-PRESENTATION Support for Approval No History of Issues • No complaints against the house or ADU have been recorded for over 64 years • Verified by open record request Existing Structure 64 years • Site has been in its current use for over 30 years • Site has been in its current configuration for over • Several other houses in …

They have owned and lived on this property for four generations. Mr. Azar wants to remodel the garage/ADU to be a habitable residence for his daughter, a first-year teacher at Graham Elementary School. The garage was built in 1937 and has been in its current location since before it was annexed by the City in 1946, before Tyler was a street, and before all the homes around it with the exception of the historic ranch house at 4811 Sinclair Ave. The slab of the structure was poured by the current owner’s grandfather, a master cement finisher, and it is a strong and valuable asset. This project will not change the structure’s distance from the street or the powerlines, and Austin Energy has reviewed and approved the design. PROJECT SUMMARY The family is respectfully requesting setback variances similar to those granted to their immediate neighbors. Those neighbors and others have written letters supporting the variances.

The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association (BCNA)Steering Committee is unopposed to this variance request. Due to the timing of our General Association Meeting on December 10th and the scheduled meeting of the Board of Adjustment on December 9th, we cannot provide the applicant with any other decision regarding this variance request. The timing of the information we received from the applicant’s representative did not allow us to take a vote on this case before the December 9th meeting date. BCNA Bylaws require a vote of the General Association membership to provide a letter of support for the variance. BCNA zoning committee met with the applicant on October 14th, 2024, to discuss the case and provide feedback to the applicant. The Bouldin Creek Executive Committee is unopposed to this variance.

ITEM04/1-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/2-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/3-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/4-OPPOSITIONS 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 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. Also 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 scale typical of properties in the vicinity” and therefore it WILL “alter area character.” (from BOA Community Guidebook) Furthermore, I’d like to note the lack of communication from the applicant and owner. · Neither party has reached out to me or my neighbors directly to discuss their proposed commercial building or how the variances may affect my single-family home. · The Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association (GENA) president, Patty Sprinkle, had not heard from the developers until she personally reached out to Leah Boho Monday, Nov 11th. This case was originally scheduled to be heard on November 14th, but thankfully the Board postponed that meeting due to a lack of quorum. GENA asked the developer to present their project at our next neighborhood meeting. Please …
