ITEM11/3-PRESENTATION ITEM11/4-PRESENTATION ITEM11/5-PRESENTATION ITEM11/6-PRESENTATION ITEM11/7-PRESENTATION The Zoning Regulations Do Not Allow for a Reasonable Use because: They only permit a structure approximately 15’ wide and 32% buildable area. ITEM11/8-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property because: It results from the property being a substandard lot that is only 35’ wide located on a corner lot subject to a 15’ street side yard setback. ITEM11/9-PRESENTATION The Hardship is not General to the Area because: Other lots in the area have the ability to achieve the 40% building coverage allowable by the zoning regulations. ITEM11/10-PRESENTATION Approval Would Not Alter Area Character because: It is not uncommon for structures to be placed in setbacks in this neighborhood. The additional width allows a design that is architecturally appealing and blends in with the area character.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and Council DATE: January 14, 2022 FROM: Denise Lucas, Director, Development Services Department SUBJECT: Update on Resolution No. 20211014-045 – Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program On October 14, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20211014-045 directing the City Manager to explore the creation of a Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program (BAAP) for residential homestead applicants who are requesting a hardship variance or special exception. The resolution contemplates the creation of a BAAP fund to support fee waivers or reductions for applicants who meet the eligibility criteria; as well as pro bono assistance with navigating the application process and subsequent proceedings. To meet the requirements outlined in this resolution, staff is working with the Financial Services Department to identify a funding source. In addition, staff is working with the procurement office to develop a process to procure pro-bono legal services. Staff does not anticipate completing all the components of the Council direction until May 2022 at which time a full response will be provided. Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact Doron Silberstein, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager, at doron.silberstein@austintexas.gov or (512) 978-1732. cc: Spencer Cronk, City Manager Rodney Gonzales, Assistant City Manager
TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: M E M O R A N D U M Mayor and Council July 27, 2022 Denise Lucas, Director, Development Services Department Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program - Staff Response to Resolution No. 20211014-045 On October 14, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20211014-045 directing the City Manager to explore the creation of a Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program (BAAP) for residential homestead applicants who are requesting a hardship variance or special exception. Staff have explored the creation of BAAP as well as a funding source. The staff focus for Board of Adjustment variance requests was narrowed to Residential Homestead Variances under a Zoning Variance or a Special Exception Variance. These are the two types of variance requests which cover the Council’s intended area of support. Based on previous variance request applications, staff anticipates 9 variance requests could be 100% financially supported each year at an approximate cost of $10,000 per year. The funding source for BAAP Fund for the financial support would come from the General Fund and would be budgeted each year. In addition, staff has identified an existing contract, managed by Austin Public Health, which will allow applicants access to pro-bono legal services. Collectively, the BAAP Fund will support fee waivers or reductions for applicants who meet the eligibility criteria; as well as pro bono assistance with navigating the application process and subsequent proceedings. Staff recommends creation of the BAAP Fund, which includes a recommended start date of October 1, 2022. Staff will await further direction from the City Council. If the Council adopts an action to create the BAAP Fund, staff will create the BAAP Fund program guidelines and will track program participants and outcomes for one year and report that information back to Council. Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact Doron Silberstein, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager, at doron.silberstein@austintexas.gov or (512) 978-1732. xc: Spencer Cronk, City Manager Anne Morgan, Acting City Manager J.

4507 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 Sign Proposal for Apple Tree Holdings Alex Ybarra Director, Apple Tree Holdings LLC 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 1 of 27 ITEM3/1-PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION The property at 4507 North Interstate 35 is uniquely situated at the I-35 split and is surrounded by several trees. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 2 of 27 ITEM3/2-PRESENTATION LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE Relevant Code: §25-10-123 (Expressway Corridor Sign Districts) (B)(2)(b)(i) and §25-10-123 (B)(3)(a) which regulate the sign area and sign height, respectively. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 3 of 27 ITEM3/3-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS First: The existing sign is blocked from view by large trees, many of which are over 35 feet high. These trees are either on neighboring properties or city property; therefore, petitioner has no control over those trees. We would also like to preserve trees on the 4507 property to the fullest extent possible. The proximity to the I-35 split also causes visibility issues. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 4 of 27 ITEM3/4-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 5 of 27 ITEM3/5-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 6 of 27 ITEM3/6-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 7 of 27 ITEM3/7-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 8 of 27 ITEM3/8-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 9 of 27 ITEM3/9-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 10 of 27 ITEM3/10-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 11 of 27 ITEM3/11-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 12 of 27 ITEM3/12-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS Second: The granting of these variances will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties as our assessment is that continued development of 4507 provides a benefit to the neighborhood through crime reduction, continued investment, and improvement of a previously abandoned property. Additionally, the LED sign is equipped with two photocells that ensure that the sign adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. This feature preserves ambient lighting conditions, whereas a traditional cabinet sign uses a light that is on a single fixed setting. These safeguards prevent any type of light pollution. 4507 …
