To: From: Chair Leighton-Burwell Board of Adjustment Members Brent Lloyd Development Services Department Development Officer Date: February 1, 2021 Subject: Appeal of Building Plans Approved for Two-Family Residential Use at: 314 & 316 West 34th Street [Permit Nos. 2019-228104 & 2020-036229] The matter before the Board of Adjustment (“BOA”) is an administrative appeal challenging approval of revised building plans approved by the Development Services Department (“DSD”) on December 15, 2020, for a two-family residential use within the area covered by the North University Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (“NCCD”) (click here for ordinance text). The revised plans approved for both structures are attached for reference. Procedural Requirements for Appeal The appeal was timely filed by the Appellants on January 4, 2021, and is properly before the BOA for consideration. In acting on the appeal, the BOA may uphold, modify, or reverse the decision approving the revised building plans, as provided in City Code Sec. 25-1-192, based on whether they comply with applicable zoning regulations. While the appeal remains pending, building permits are suspended per City Code Sec. 25-1-187 and further action is stayed. Following resolution of the appeal, DSD will abide by the BOA’s interpretation of the applicable regulations both for the two applications at issue in this case and future applications involving the North University NCCD parking requirements. Summary of Issues & NCCD Provisions The primary issue before the Board can be summarized as follows: Under the North University NCCD, if an existing single-family use is converted into a two- family residential use by adding a second structure, how many onsite parking spaces are required where the existing structure has two bathrooms and the new structure includes three bathrooms? C-1/PRESENTATON-STAFF REP-1 As explained in more detail below, DSD staff approved the application with a total of four onsite parking spaces: The two spaces required by Chapter 25-6, Appendix A, of the Land Development Code, plus an additional two spaces. The appellants argue that five spaces were required and, therefore, that the permits were approved in error. The issue hinges on the following parking requirements imposed under Paragraphs J & K of the North University NCCD, at page 22: j. This section applies to a duplex or two-family residential use if there are at least five bathrooms in all buildings in which the use is located. An additional parking space is required for each new full bathroom constructed on the property. …

Others will be emailing their thoughts to you directly. To my knowledge, the neighbors on this street are in favor or granting the request. Some felt they had made their preference known to the developer John Meyer, when he walked the neighborhood, and that was enough. However, when I looked at the official responses online at the COA website today, I noticed that only neighbors who are not affected by the building because they live on another street, had responded in the negative. And the BCNA, without bringing it to the membership or asking neighbors, decided to oppose. As neighbors to the lots, we have lived with truly terrible houses and poorly maintained lots for many years. We look forward to the improvement and look of homes that can be built, especially if the variance is approved. I would like to point out that in general I have been in favor of and appreciative of the general protections the McMansion Envelope has provided to neighbors and neighborhoods around Austin. However, especially in this neighborhood, we see way too many builders circumvent this ordinance by building 3 story skinny houses that are not nearly as livable as wider homes, and this type of build is particularly not in keeping with the surrounding homes. …

Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1. We want to start BOA trainings ASAP (thanks to our Liaison, this is already underway). 2. We want to have knowledgeable staff available at our hearings to answer questions regarding issues outside of BOA Liaison’s expertise (residential zoning), such was Lake Austin, Signage, Waterfront Overlay, etc. 3. We want to find out status of GIS mapping efforts showing history of BOA cases (location, type, etc.). 4. We want to build new bridges with City Staff and repair relationships from past situations. In addition, we want to be able to increase staff accountability without it appearing as a personal attack. 5. We want to know what the Department Supervisors need / want from BOA to better support each other and our joint processes. 6. We want to temper our deliberations to be focused on the facts of the cases before us and be less inflammatory or confrontational towards applicants and staff. 7. We want to hold ourselves accountable and our BOA colleagues in a civil and respectful manner. 8. We want to create processes for transitions in BOA leadership and for additions of new members to our Board. 9. We want to include training on the role the legislature plays in the BOA. Specifically how we are governed by both City and State mandates and what that means in how we operate. H-2/1
MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207.

C-1/1 LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Tanner Blair Ramirez, Elaine Appeal for 314 and 316 W. 34th Street #C15-2021-0009 Tuesday, February 02, 2021 1:52:25 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Elaine, As the chair of Central Austin Urbanists, I am writing to inform you that our organization would encourage Board of Adjustment to interpret the NUNA NCCD in the narrowest way possible. Climate change is real. This housing would be in walking distance to transit, the university, and more amenities than we can list here. This is one of the few locations in the city that can truly support a car-free lifestyle and insisting that new housing continue to reinforce and promote automotive- centric living is a threat to the long-term health of our community. Additionally, we take exception to the tone and content of Mr. Levinski’s application, especially the continued use of the term “stealth dorms”. At a time when housing costs are at an all-time high, it is very telling the character and substance of their argument that so much emphasis is placed on making sure that families and groups people that don’t meet their platonic ideal are denigrated and relegated to the status of nuisance. This segregationist attitude is anathema to the spirit of radical inclusion that we believe is the actual foundation of a community, and we ask that the city reject the argument that there is a right way and a wrong way for families to look. Given the dubious merits of requiring parking, the very real climate crisis, and the very real housing crisis, we ask that the Board of Adjustment stand by staff’s judgement and not require more parking spaces than absolutely necessary.
